In 1994, Motorola released the MicroTAC Elite – the smallest and most lightweight mobile phone on the market at the time. As if the moniker ‘Elite’ wasn’t enough, Motorola also released the MicroTAC Elite VIP the same year, which featured black casing, gold lettering and an orange LED display. The software was the most advanced for its time, and boasted multiple applications including a phonebook, timer, tone control, and even an answering machine. The Motorola MircoTAC Elite was the first mobile phone to offer a voicemail service and also the first to use a Lithium Ion battery.
