Talk:Motorola International 3200

The picture uploaded by user Sultn is a thumbnail of the original found at Motorola, but we should be able to do better. Unfortunately, a Google image search doesn't yield any better images. Unless someone can find a public domain image, maybe we can get permission from Motorola to use a version of the one from their graphics archives.

After further research, I discovered that the picture isn't that of a Motorola International 3200. It's a DynaTAC 8000X from 1983. From the their web site:

"DynaTAC 8000X portable cellular phone, 1983. The world's first commercial handheld cellular phone, the Motorola DynaTAC phone, received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in 1983. The 28-ounce handheld phone became available to consumers in 1984."

GSM
Is it an GSM mobile phone? --Abdull 05:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

It was the *first* GSM phone. --67.71.1.173 23:48, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

In fact it was the "first GSM handphone". Sooner the Motorola company developed an International 1000 and 2000 GSM phones, but they were big (small siutcase) - portable. Another company Hagenuk developed MT-900 GSM hand-phone in the same year, so I'm not sure who was first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.102.252.6 (talk) 18:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Introduction
The first line says it was introduced in 1992, which can't possibly be correct...I'm changing it to 1982, unless someone else knows the date for certain. Super Jedi Droid 04:22, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

It did first appear in 1992 in the GSM version. This is not an analogue phone.

I own 2 International 3300's from 1993 and NO they cannot send an SMS. This is simply not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.126.13 (talk) 00:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

The statement "It was preceded by the International 1000, which was the first GSM portable phone." is almost certainly not correct, depending how "first" is defined. In Europe a mobile phone could not be legally connected to any mobile network without first being "type approved". To my knowledge the first type approval certificate issued in Europe for a GSM phone was for the Orbitel TPU 900. The Motorola phone got its type approval certificate not long after. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen.temple (talk • contribs) 09:10, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

WILL RECEIVE SMS BUT NOT SEND.
The Motorola Internaional 3200 and 3300 will not send SMS but can receive. They are both GSM from 1992-1993. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.126.13 (talk) 00:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hand-size or hand-held?
Apart from adding refs, i've changed hand-size to hand-held, for.. the body of my International 3200 it's twice bigger then my hand.. which it's not small (23,5cm)..--Mcapdevila (talk) 10:22, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
