fraggle42 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 After digging out the iPhone 4S for a couple of weeks I dug a bit deeper... Using the Motorola flip for now, nice and loud and the battery still lasts 3~4 days Sadly the brick doesn't seem to work. It turns on, the backlight works fine, but nothing displayed on the LCD (although I can see it's powered as I can see all the segments if I tilt it against the light). So, c'mon then, we love vintage watches, dig your vintage phones out and lets see what you've got! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc1221 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Oh wow. I think I've had all these phones. First phone ever being a Motorola bag phone when I was 16. Cell phones were like a $100 a minute back then Who's got the clear case beeper? You know you had one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yep, I can't remember which variant Razr this is but it wasn't available in the UK and I imported it from the US. Vanity! Bag phones! Picked up a dead one to play with a while after they'd bought out sensible mobiles - silly things but must have been exciting when they first came out. One of my employers gave me a pager, loved it as you could turn it off or ignore it and they could never get that mad as no way to prove the page actually reached you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droptopman Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Gotta live the bag phone. I rocked one back in the day. Carrying basically a small briefcase bag with a cord coming out and a GIANT handset. BC is right on my bill back then was like $800 a month for a handful of calls. Also a couple of hard wired car phones. Then the brick, followed by the giant flip phone. All Motorola if I remember. I also remember when the StarTac came out. Mid 90's I think. A techno wonder at the time. Too funny. Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 You can get sim adapters that take a micro sim and let you use it in a mini sim phone, I got a load free with the "micro sim punch" I bought when I got the iPhone 4S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I knew I wasn't the only sad git who doesn't just throw stuff away because you've bought something new! It's strange going back to 2G reception though - a lot lower frequency, so the base stations are spaced a lot wider apart, and the signal comes and goes slowly as you drive around.

magicpimp Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't have it anymore but this phone was the bomb. I actually looking to get one again, as a second phone. The battery lasted 3 days with minimum use. Also I still had this phone until a few years ago when I moved to Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
