Re: mobile phones.... again
I think that this phone was also called the Motorola Memphis. Ahh back in the 90's I used to look like a Motorola Slimlight. Now I look like a Motorola Memphis

Re: mobile phones.... again
Good for you, i'm still using my 1996 Alcatel, originally it was analogue, black & white screen, no camera, battery just a bit smaller than a car battery, a sim card the size of a credit card and you have to tap the keys, such: ABC if you want the letter C three taps. When digital came along, I almost put the Alcatel away for posterity, all the phone shops laughed at me, then, amazingly, our next door neighbour's 16 year old, who had a Saturday job in an independent phone shop, (remember them?) had a look at it and asked if he could take it to work. He came home triumphant, they had managed to put a clever piece of digital wizardry into an analogue phone, and it worked. My missus had a similar phone but wanted an all singing all dancing affair so I kept her's for spares.

GHT, sure & that's a bit too modern for you? I'd expect you to carry one of these around:

I bought one of these:
Secondhand (less than 6 months old) in 1986 and at the time it was the mutts nuts and earnt me a fortune. I still have it in the loft, c/w charger, and I'm hoping that soon it's going to be worth another fortune!

Re: mobile phones.... again
So it's ok to like old cars, but not old phones, am I missing something here?
My first landline phone was supplied by the GPO long before it morphed into BT. I still have it and it still gives good service. It doesn't have touchtone technology, so I can't press one for the money, two for the show and all that, and it doesn't give you incoming call numbers, but it still works, so why get rid? Likewise, my valve driven, 1932 Fergusson wireless, (they weren't called radios in 1932,) still works perfectly, as does my 1946 Wurlitzer Juke Box on which I enjoy listening to my collection of 45's.
