I am willing to bet you the people at motorola were like “Wow, I cant believe you got it all into such a small package! Thats *amazing*!!”

looking at old 3310 makes me miss having to charge my phone only once a week

i bet that still is the smallest anologe phone. the way that phone operates is way different than digital phones. that phone sends out the actual voice as a signal but the small digital phone change your voice to 1s and 0s and makes those into signal.it takes a lot less power to send out 1s and 0s than it does to send your voice.thats why the anologe phone is bigger, because it needs more power

Hi dave, when you will do an episode on PCB layout please do consider how to separate digital ground from analog ground, and how to minimize noise using a good design, hope you will read this, thanks.

HA HA HA GREAT ONE

HA HA never was that big list of patents ha ha 09:24

“Other patents pending.”

Beautiful… dickheads.

“Ultra sleek”???

I remember when these brick shaped mobiles were Yuppy toys back in the late 1980s and being unimpressed by a rich bloke using one of these when I was on the train to London back then!

This things were pretty expensive and exclussive. So, lets make them look massive and impressive, not struggling about space. Stack boards as you need.

wonder how much RF power was transmitted by those analog phones

how hard would it be to build your own computer and i mean electronicly building the power supply and motherboard and other parts 

MAKE MORE OF THESE TEARDOWNS! LOVE IT!

I’m amazed that was 1993/1994 and not actually earlier. Maybe the design was much older? I had a Cellular One motorola flip phone in 1996 or so and it was huge compared to today (with a big pull-up antenna and non-lit LCD), but tiny then. I assume they were doing digital and analog phones side by side? Maybe this was their last analog?

@devjock
This could look like some sort of a secret military uplink or something…

whatever software you used to cut this together, it sucks. great teardown though.

@artifactingreality What sucks about it compared to my previous videos?
Yes, there is the odd glitch, as the editor does not seem entirely compatible with my original video files.

thats the new razor

With so many US subscribers why would Dave mock the US National Anthem. Probably doesn’t realize he’d be speaking Japanese if not for the US in WW II. Just dumb.

@EEVblog yeah just the odd glitch, nothing major. I hadn’t noticed your vids doing that before.

hey dave, what camera are you using to record these videos?

The design does look pretty old. Most of the layout is driven by the IC device packaging – big QFPs. I reckon you’d be hard pressed to get a much tighter layout with the same devices. A lot of the RF layout is hampered by those chunky XOs and ceramic filters. I agree it could have been made smaller/better – but as always at a price. Just my £0.02 worth.

@avalon449 So there would be “Erekutoronikusu Enjinia Bideo Burogu” by Deibu Jonzu ?

Would be nice if you put a link to your flicker account in the video description

LOL, my first mobile was as big as a half liter beer mug!
