world's first cell phone

Almost everyone today carries a cell phone (or maybe multiple). But what about back in 1930's?


Above is a shot from a black & white movie in 1938. Many people claimed that she is a "time traveler".

Recently, someone claimed that the device in this picture is actually a cell phone, a prototype by DuPont right before World War I, according Daily Mail.

This picture was taken at DuPont factory located in Leominster, MA, and there was an area where she was testing wireless calls.

To our knowledge, the very first cell phone was DynaTAC 8000X by Motorola in 1983, and there was also a similar discussion as there was a scene with cell-phone looking device in the movie The Circus from 1928.
