Is this cool or naff? - Rich Hanlon - 18 Sep 2013
I genuinely can't decide, I keep swithering between the two...

Could be onto something there Dermot!
Perhaps I need this one 'as well', not 'instead', for when doing Delorean-related stuff!

I think its awesome, I've still got my first mobile phone with its original box and
accessories, a 1994 NEC P100

Great stuff, you'll have to see if it still works!
I've been researching genuine old ones but they have to be digital not analogue as they will never work again. Apparently the earliest digital one which will still work is a Motorola 8500. Few available on the 'bay but I might like to have text message capability as s slight concession to modernity!

1994! You must have been minted! When owning a mobile was cool! 8)
My first mobile was a analogue Nokia . First Digital was a Nokia 2110 , in fact that was a great phone.
Coolest phone ever was my Ericsson R290 Sat Phone. Fantastic when your on a cruise ship and other people
can't understand how you have got a signal! :lol:
Not sure about the brick. Cool in about 1986/7 only to be used to accessorise your best Miami Vice suit. :wink:

This was my first one, it was given to me as part of my job at the time. I was really excited until I got this:

I found an original mid 80s carphone going cheap a while back, picked it up for possible addition to the center console. Might hide a bluetooth pickup in it so it can be used as an actual phone (except for dialing).
