Even though Motorola showcased the world’s first cell phone in 1973, it was still a prototype. It would take years of work for the Motorola Dynatac 8000x to become available to the general public. After 10 years and $100 million in development costs, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x was released to the market in 1983. The first commercial cell phone provided 30 minutes of talk time, could store 30 phone numbers, and cost $3,995.
