I need to find a late-eighties mobile (working/non-working/display)...
What make/model should I look for?
Cheers ... Mark

Late 80's, 900MHz TAC analogue... umm... Nokia 101
it would just about go inside a coat pocket.
Maybe a Motorola 8800 brick, although every 80's phone museum
has one of those, with a picture of a Yuppie waving one around

Nokia 101, classic analogue phone with the pull-out antenna that
everyone pulled out with their teeth!
Make sure you get the extended battery so you can get 24h standby!

But with the extended battery you would have trouble getting it into
your pocket, so you had to trade off endurance against size/weight,
if you were only going out for half a day, or had access to say a
car charger you could getaway with the standard battery.
You tell youngsters that today and they wouldn't believe you.

Heh, that's even worse than my Nokia 1610 was.
Don't think Mrs H's Sony 'Mars Bar' was much better, either.

Looks like a brick, weights like a brick, and still works like a brick :-)

Or if you are French, Nineteen Sixty Twenty Eighteen.
(which i guess makes the communicator even older) ;-)
For some reason French can't count past Sixty-nine?
But apparently French speaking Belgiums and Swiss can!

Umm yes, that's what I meant, but why don't they have words for 70, 80 and
90?
