anybody remember these? vol. this is for the feds

This was the cell phone that started it all IMO...Back then, phones were bulky and awkward, and they cost $100 for a good one...Then this phone dropped and was selling for $200+ and only people with money could afford it bc at the time, $200 for a cell phone was insane...So anytime somebody in NYC had one of these, you knew they were either businessmen or drug dealers

, they didn't even sound like the song you were getting, but as similar as it could.

Damn this brings back memories...

This was my first cell phone with the interchangeable faces

...but as soon as I saw the Motorola V60 I knew I had to have it. I paid over $300 for it, but I loved that damn phone. It was sleeker than anything else out, and it got reception EVERYWHERE. I had it for about 3 years until I got tired of glueing the antenna back on lol.
