End of Service Life and Legacy
The majority of Bag Phone models operated on the AMPS network. During the late 90s, though, Motorola produced a few Special Edition digital Bag Phones. They were dual mode AMPS/TDMA phones marketed as the "Digital Concert Series." Because both the AMPS and TDMA networks are extinct as of mid 2009, the service life of all Motorola Bag Phones have come to end, and they now serve only as a collector's item.
The original Motorola Bag Phone has been succeeded by Motorola's M-Series, which adds support for today's cellular networks, and adds the basic features of today's cell phones.

Famous quotes containing the words service, life and/or legacy:
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“From age eleven to age sixteen I lived a spartan life without the usual adolescent uncertainty. I wanted to be the best swimmer in the world, and there was nothing else.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
