Tomorrow’s World: Mobile Phone 13 September 1979
This clip from the BBC via their Tomorrow’s World Archives is a great look at an early mobile phone design. Also, there’s just such a fantastic element of playfulness in the video’s production, something I think the BBC still does well in a lot of its segments today.
Michael Rodd makes a call with an experimental cordless mobile phone.
It’s 1979 and time for the telephone to go mobile.

Also included at the end of this item is a rather nice out-take as Rodd also experiences the first mobile wrong number.
