The Mobira Cityman 900 was released in 1987 by Nokia-Mobira. ^[1] It was one of the first handheld cell phones. The nickname of the phone in Finland was Gorba. This was because the President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev used a Cityman phone to talk to the Deputy Minister of Communications Vladimir Glinka in Moscow from Helsinki in October 1989. The call was made by the phone's owner Stefan Widomski, a Nokia executive. It is likely that the phone used was an earlier Cityman 450 model. ^[2]
