A man I knew in the 1990's said it was unmacho for a man to have a cell phone. I bought my very first in 1996. A Motorola flip phone. I was 32 then. I told this man it's handy for car breakdown emergencies and he said, "Well, Peter, you're a BIG GUY!" Yes, big fat guys have most of the heart attacks, you know.
Motorola had a poster in a local phone center back in the '90's claiming its phones were "a girl's best friend". The campaign poster was black and white with a younger woman dressed up like a 1920's flapper holding a cell phone. The feminine association with the telephone and gabbing, you know.
