Motorola International 3200
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Motorola International 3200, along with the more compact 5200 and 7200 "flip phones", was the first digital mobile telephone, introduced in 1994. The unit was designed to supplant phones using the original analog cell technology developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s and first commercially available in 1983. Because of the 3200's advanced technology, existent units will still operate in 2006.
Like other mobile phones that preceded it, the 3200's shape (and size) resembled an elongated brick, with the numeric buttons on the narrow side, along with the earphone and microphone. Designed to work solely in the GSM 900 MHz band, the flexible "rubber duck" antenna was two-thirds as long as the case. The phone contained 21 buttons — the standard number pad, plus nine others

- Clr (Clear)
- Snd (Send)

It was severely limited in what information it could show.
Motorola also manufactured other models of mobile telephones in the same "brick" style as the International 3200, such as the Motorola Ultra Classic, the DynaTAC 8000x/8500x & the "California" phone.
