However, back to 90s, the phones are very big, such as Motorola, people used to carry in pocket. There is a video below, and apparently they're hard to use.

How much did mobile phones cost in the 80s and 90s?
(1990-2000)
How much did mobile phones cost in the 80s and 90s?
New technology is always expensive, manufacturers need to recoup years' worth of research costs. Back in the 80s, you would have to spend £3000 to get world's first hand portable phone, the Motorola 8000X. As the technology moved on, and more competitors entered this new market, dealers had to cut prices in order to have more market share. In 1990, the price of NEC P3 was £1499, which was half price of the phone at 80s. In late 90s, the prices had dropped significantly, from £1499 to £500.
