Walkie-Talkies were around then, I’m pretty sure, probably used in the military. The poor mans’ cell phone is still sold today.

If you look at the woman walking in front of her,
her purse is small and fits in her hand too.
I suppose she could be wearing a Blue tooth...

I cannot believe this reporter took the claim that this was a cell phone research project seriously.
