American Made Phones
100% Made in USA
Motorola produced the first cellular phone (DynaTAC 8000X) for the mass market in the US in 1984, that cost just under $4,000.
There hasn't been a truly USA made phone since the mid-2000's when ever increasing demand and competition resulted in most phone companies shifting production off-shore to Taiwan, and now China, Vietnam and India.
