By Stewart Wolpin. Somewhere in either Chicago, Baltimore or Washington, someone plunked down $3,995 to buy the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, the first handheld cellphone, on March 13, 1984 â 30 years ago today. We don't know who that first cellphone buyer was. At the time, the occasion didn't register as historically auspicious. After all, in 1984, the terms cellphone and mobile phone didn't refer to handheld phones; those terms referred to car phones, which had been around since the mid-1940s.
