    Yes that or the even more generic late 80's one I remember was slightly different.

    We had a 007 phone in the club car of the Spirit of (slow) Progress in about 1987. It worked from Sydney Terminal to around Campbelltown and again coming into Melbourne. It was quite a novelty to call someone from the train.

    When I first worked at Social Security as a field officer in Benefits Control, any client found to have a mobile 'phone or answering machine was considered to be running a business as these gadgets were so expensive you would not have one for any other reason. The client could expect a visit from a fieldie for a please explain.

    My current mobile 'phone cost $9.98 from a Best Buy in Los Angeles.
