how effing stupid cellphone belt clips were. To be fair, that thing was awfully bulky to put in a pants pocket.

Many of us knew it was stupid by then.

By 1999 if you had a clip you’d better have a job that necessitated such. Then there were the dudes with the phone clipped on one hip and their Palm Pilot on their other hip.

Check out this slick minimalist phone I had in 1998/1999. Took an hour to text “Whats up”, but can’t have everything.

Speaking off the palm pilot, have you seen the Blackberry movie?

Your phone would ring but the tower wouldn't pick up the answer signal unless you were in the right area. Roaming cost a fortune and your bill was calculate by the minute. I think my first wireless bill was $.18/min.

The city of Greenville paid my bill just to keep up with me when I remodeled the main st building after taking out the asbestos. The flip phone was 195 bucks which was down in price about $800 from the previous cost.
