Was it a brick, a teeny one or for the youngsters amongst us the beginnings of a smartphone??

Mine was a stylish Ericsson T28, steel grey, flip lid. It was a great little phone.

T18 here. I loved it but I wanted to be able to flip it open like a Star Trek communicator and it was just too robust. I did programme in my own monophonic ring-tone though. First thing I did.

Slightly off track I had a Bell home cordless phone back in the early 80's. It had failed UK radio standards for a home phone so none were sold. It came with a base unit with twin 4ft aerials out the back..and the same but shorter telescoping on the phone! I got it from the guy that was thinking of importing them. Obviously he didn't bring more over.

It failed because it's range was TWO miles!! Very useful when mum & dad sent me shopping as I could use the intercom facility to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything..

A ,lovely bit of kit but I could hardly afford to make a call. After a while a got bit savvy and bought a Nokia Cityman and had the ESN cloned so I could use it as a 'mobile' whilst the car phone was off air. It worked too - result ! a car phone and a mobile on the same account hahaha

Mine (mrsb) was a motorola something or other. It had a pull out ariel and I thought I was the bee's knees.

Thst was around 20 yrs ago, so no need to explain how much of a brick it was lol x

Mine was pre-mobile, it was a car-phone, and I still have the handset and transceiver.
