The first mobile phone was made in the Motorola labs by Martin Cooper in 1973. He didn't own the phone, but it was the first. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mobile_phones#Handheld_mobile_phone Dec 26 12, 12:15 AM

The first mobile phone call was made from a car in June 1946. This AT&T article does not disclose who owned that car. 1946: First Mobile Telephone Call June 17, 1946 - A driver in St. Louis, Mo., pulled out a handset from under his car's dashboard, placed a phone call and made history. It was the first mobile telephone call. A team including Alton Dickieson and D. Mitchell from Bell Labs and future AT&T CEO H.I. Romnes, worked more than a decade to achieve this feat. By 1948, wireless telephone service was available in almost 100 cities and highway corridors. Customers included utilities, truck fleet operators and reporters. However, with only 5,000 customers making 30,000 weekly calls, the service was far from commonplace. http://www.corp.att.com/attlabs/reputation/timeline/46mobile.html http://www.telecomwriting.com/archive/TelenorPage_022-034.pdf Dec 26 12, 2:37 AM
