The first mobile phone call was made on this day in 1973. Martin Cooper, using a prototype of the Motorola DynaTAC, placed a call from the streets of New York to Bell Labs in New Jersey. The device was 9 inches tall, had a talk-time of 35 minutes, and took 10 hours to recharge.

Custom ROMs for feature phones in 2024? Believe it!
Longtime Motorola MVP EXL and other MotoFan forum members have released a new custom firmware for the E398 named "Dream A Reality 2.x Test 17" to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
I could not possibly go over all of the additions they've added in one post alone, so definitely give the MotoFan forum post a look:

or perhaps a YouTube video demonstrating its capabilities by EXL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjCnUPEm9LU&feature=youtu.be
