  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

I'm guessing this is early 80's? ...works as *vintage.

I had the bag phone

Video added to vintage channel (vintage called by gold star member swampgirl)

What a stupid idea, it will never work.

Can you hear me now? Now? Ok, hang on while I turn this boat around... now? hello?

Dang it, I really should have waited for them to build more than one cell tower before I got this stupid phone.

Ahh brick size!

This can't be the first commercial. I remember bag phones LONG before the new, small brick phones came out.
