Massive mobiles from yesteryear.

Well we all love the classic favourite "Brick phone"

(bad pics teken with Nokia 6275 as I cannot find real camera's charger! I'm buying a camera that takes regular AA's next time)


SEE! it's just massive.

Wells it's just TOO portable.

This beast would give you a very sore arm rather quickly.

Not big enough huh?

If there was one phone that makes any phone look "ultra sleek" then this is it.

it's not the "brick" it's the original PAVING SLAB!


Circuitry is fully discreet! it was "fully transitorized" as most systems back then were still valve based.


This sucker is built like the Apollo 11 stuff, It's all shock mounted, through-hole eyelet and double redundancy PCB. The foam and casing has deteriorated over time but the internals look brand new.

This beast is Pre-cellular, but it was the first system to support direct dialling and full duplex operation just like a "real" telephone. Motorola have a sole old yellowed stock picture of one on their website but I'm wondering if there are any other actual devices around anywhere?

I have Vista Business in one of my machines and thought of dual booting with Windows Server 2008. And the end result? - Excellent! I installed Windows Server on top of Vista and after installation of Windows Server 2008, the boot menu was shown with options to boot into Vista or Server 2008 Cool

I just ordered a Dell XPS M1330 Product Red from www.dell.co.nz. I was holding out for the new Sony Vaio SZ (VGN-SZ79GN/C) but due to specs and price and the great online reputation of Dells XPS notebooks I have chosen the better over all deal. Now I just have to wait a week or 2 for it to arrive . . .
