The idea for a cell phone actually began with police radios in the 1920's, but it wasn't until 1947 that Bell labs made the first cell phone. Yet, the man given the most credit for its creation is Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola who made a true working cell phone in 1973. From 1973 to 1984 cell phones were mainly for government work, but in 1984 the first cell phone was sold to the public. This phone looked like a land line phone, was large and heavy and carried in a zippered bag.
