Key-Cycle7978 on December 4, 2025 5:49 pm $1499 is expensive for a phone even in modern day, but much moreso in 1988, that amount translates to roughly $4100 in today’s money

Master_Hospital_8631 on December 4, 2025 5:56 pm 1500 smackers in 1988 was a hell of a lot of money to spend on a phone. I bought my first car in 1985 for $500.
