So...how do you like our prices?
In 1988 a cell phone you connect into your car cost $1,400 at Radio Shack here in Montreal.
The same store sold the Michael Douglas Wall Street brick portable version for $2,500.
To put that into perspective, at around the same time you could rent a small, heated apartment in the West Island for $230-month all included.
$4,900 in 1988 is equivalent to about $9,900 in today's currency.
