People over 40: When did you *first* buy a cellphone? Anyone here among the customers of the first 1G cellphones circa 1983?

It was weird in the 90's as Europeans all had phones, yet no-one Hollywood films had them.

The 1G story is odd since it started in the US, then went to Israel, Australia... I think Europe took the lead with 2G if I'm not mistaken

Not sure, I think NTT was early and the Nordics led a lot of this, certainly Europe had the lead for a long time, I remember the sniggering about the iPhone as is was only 2G when it launched (boy are we not laughing now)
