In
1996 Motorola's 3.1
ounce (88 gram) StarTAC
wearable cellular
telephone was the world's
smallest and lightest.
At the time it was
considered a miniature
marvel. How
times have changed.
Some of the earliest
models introduced in the US
were analogue whereas in
Europe the majority were GSM digital.
The CDMA digital network took
longer to introduce in the
US partly due to the massive
size and remoteness of much
of the continent.

The StarTAC was the first
clamshell phone and a very expensive dream for aspirational mobile users and is still hugely popular with collectors today.

You can see
how the products have followed an evolution from the earliest MicroTAC, the GSM
International flips, and through the StarTAC range up to the V3 Razr of today:

Due to the age and uncertain nature of vintage
electronics, all of the
StarTACs we have for sale are sold untested. Spares and new batteries can still be found easily
from online retailers.
However, they are sold for DISPLAY purposes only.
No warranty is implied or given. They may work fine, or they may not
