1980 was the time where cell phones actually became widely available. They were somewhat bulky, kind of like a brick. The 1980 cell phones allowed 30 minutes of call time and took 10 hours to charge. People don't realize how lucky we are today.

yes they did, although they were much bigger and weren't called "Cell Phones". They were so big that they could not fit in your pocket!
