Motorola DYNA T-A-C 8000X - a photo on Flickriver

            In 1981 I was lucky enough to be part of the cellular system test in the Baltimore/Washington area. There were 150 hand-held phones in the two year test. 

This Motorola DYNA T-A-C 8000X was the first cell phone I purchased after I gave up the test unit. In 1983 this phone cost about $4,000. I turned in the test unit which looked about the same but did not have a removable battery. The cellular trial ran from about mid-1981 to 1983. For a short time I had a fixed cellular in my car, also called a DYNA T-A-C (1982 - 1983) and then when the 8000X became available I bought it. During the trial there were 150 active phones and 150 backup units. The test phones were supported by the Motorola office 5656 3rd St NE, Washington, DC 20011 (no longer there). The monthly fee was about $150 and there were three cell sites in DC, one in Columbia, Maryland and three in the Baltimore area. The phones put out 1 watt and worked well for the most part.
