The GSM-compatible and TDMA/ Dual Mode phones were only introduced in 1994. The MicroTAC introduced a radical new \"flip\" design, where the mouthpiece folded over the keypad. This set the standard and paved the way for all modern flip phones today. Its predecessor was the Motorola DynaTAC and was succeeded by the Motorola StarTAC. \"TAC\" was an abbrievation of Total Area Coverage in all three models.

Model History

The MicroTAC was released by Motorola on Tuesday, April 25th, 1989. The first run of MicroTACs featured a black plastic housing and a 8-character dot-matrix red LED display , which was severely limited in what information it could show. On USA-released models, only 7 of the 8 characters illuminated. The \"micro\" sized phone measured as long as over 9 inches long when open and weighed in 9 ounces. Also known as the 9800X in the US , the phone incorporated a built-in alpha-numeric phone book as one of the many standard features. A numerically organized menu allowed the user to select options for the phone operations. Some of the many options included security codes, two phone number operations, a charge rate and currency calculator, secretarial memory scratchpads, hands-free operation, keypad tones, memory protection, phone number and name storage, as well as cellular system operation options. The user was capable of enabling Dual Tone Multi-Frequency to use the phone as a modem.

In addition to the standard 12 button keypad , the MicroTAC had buttons for Power On/Off, Function, Menu/Menu, End, Send, Clear, Store, and Recall. The left side of the phone featured two buttons for adjusting the volume up and down. While in alpha mode, the volume buttons toggled between upper case and lower case text. The model sold for between US$2,495 and US $3,495,and was produced until 1991.

A rare version existed in light gray. The original models can be distinguished by their elongated antenna base, white keys and gray keypad background. Accessories included car, desktop and overnight travel chargers, installed hands-free car kits, leather cases, and a selection of batteries. The slimmest battery then available was the Slim and Slim Extended (Life), followed by the Standard, XT, and Talk-Pak XT batteries. The Talk-Pak XT and XT used Nickel Metal-Hydride while the others used Nickel Cadmium. A Lithium Ion battery was produced in 1994 for all GSM models. The MicroTAC proved popular in the United States, and many new models came to the market. In 1990, The Digital Personal Communicator, or DPC, emerged. Light or dark gray in color, the phone featured a green or orange 7-character LED display. It closely resembled the 9800x in terms of the keypad design and background and the main body. A phone called the Business Classic was made for Cellular One. White in color, basically, it was the DPC in a white body with the exact phone operations. An upscale version, known as the Alpha DPC featured an 8-character (7 in the US) green dot-matrix display and the return of the alpha-numeric phonebook. Soon, an \"affordable\" DPC 550 came to the market. Almost identical to the MicroTAC Classic, the DPC 550 featured little with the most basic of operations.
