Friday Fun: Back To The Beginning

By The Guru on August 22, 2008

Guess, what? It’s Friday, which means you get another Friday Fun video, here on Symbian-Guru. Each week I scour YouTube to find a fun mobile-related video to kick-start the weekend. This week, I’m going back to the beginning of cell phones, with this clever ad from Centel, one of the first commercial cellular phones. I rather enjoyed the fact that despite the drastic changes in cell phones over the years, the Jeep Wrangler looks basically the same now as it did in this commercial!

As always, we hope you have a killer weekend!

    Have you noted the slogan in this video?

    “Centel, where the people connect”

    I think I’ve seen a very simmilar phrase on Nokia logo ;)

    Damn, when watching that video it almost makes me old.
    I’ve yet to see exactly that mobile phone but I still have a bulky one that my father had in the 19xx’s

    It’s still working though with a slight dysfunction, that is the one of the connectors to the battery have fallen off.
    It’s easy to overcome that by putting some thin copper wire where the connector should be.

    (The good old days.)
