Mine was one of those huge Motorola jammies (pic). Barely any battery life, no coverage, and expensive as h*ll!!

But first real phone was attached to the wall, rotary dial with a long-a$$ cord that could go around the whole house... Possibly mustard color, or maybe avocado. Who remembers?? I know I am not the only one!! :)

I remember the battery pack could jump-start my Dodge Pick-up Truck

Pretty sure it was this bad boy.
Pros: It had 'snake' & was indestructible.
Cons: Had to hold the power button down like a wrestling move to get it to turn on!
