Motorola’s DynaTAC (Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage) 8000X was the world’s first commercially released mobile phone. Measuring 13 inch x 1.75 inch x 3.5 inch, this cell phone was released in 1983 with a price tag of $3,995.

Maybe she could afford it with her babysitting money or something.

They are still pretty pricey. After reading a comment about the DynaTAC, I thought it might be cool to own one, so I looked them up on EBay. Someone is trying to sell one for $9,037.05.

If she really made that "cellphone" comment, then that pretty much blows her story to hell and gone.
