OK one for the techies out there - When was the first truly mobile phone call made (and by truly mobile I mean by a handheld, self powered device)?

I remember from my GSM course in '99 that in the 1930's Chicago, I think, had a radio telephone system with an exchange routing calls between cars. Is that the answer?
