it wasn't an MS duo slot as I recall. It was a full size memory stick. This was around 1999 and I'm pretty sure duo wasn't around in those days

The MZ5 was actually very advanced for its time in my opinion. The price was astronomical though, when compared with other mobiles of the time.

This brought back so much memories!
My first ever GSM mobile is a CMD-Z5, it took me a long time to decide to get a mobile, but one look at that beautiful and functional design mad me bite the bullet.
Granted it's got it's share of problems (ultra low speaker volumn), but in a world of boring or ugly candybar from Nokia, the Z5 is such a fresh idea.
And it's got the coolness factor nothing then can match, when you whip out a Z5, and flip open the flap, I'm sure it's got a few curious glances from people nearby wondering you have a latest gadget from japan (which it was LOL).
My Z5 retired after I got a T68, and spend rest of it's days serving my Dad, but it got stolen from Heathrow airport  I still miss it sometimes when I saw it's packaging box. |

What a good thread.
It was only last night I was browsing the SE Global site to look at all the older handsets.
My first Sony was the J70e in silver. The vibratone never used to be felt unless it was strapped to your leg but all in all I enjoyed its short time with me (it got lost).
My mate Trevor had a Z7 which was very cool at the time and I was green with envy.
The P9** jog-dial and flip are definitely reminiscent of the earlier Sony's.
On the later SE smaller models this has been replaced with the up/down side buttons which you can still use to navigate the secondary/tertiary menu's, not necessary really but another navigational option.
I wouldn't say there is too much of either Sony or Ericsson in the later models apart from the more expensive S700i which I think smacks very much of Sony Savvy Super-gadget.

The only Sony I ever concidered to buy was the Z1. It was a really small nifty phone.

I think it was around a year before the Z5
there was also the Z1 plus which, if I remember correctly, had more phone memory

I got my 1st Sony phone - guess - YESTERDAY! Ha! Better late than never; innit?
I needed a phone for calls & CSD data on my MTN-NG line and wanted something cheap. The J5 qualified so I picked one. Great features for a phone that old.
Love the WAP/Web dual browser. Email works fine. I love the jog dial, and d phone holds a signal pretty well. At least I can brag that I used a Sony

I would have to say that this would have to be my all time favourite Sony handset...Design was so Small and revolutionary for its time wayyy back....Brings back some good memories.

Hi!
The Jxx series is far the best!
It has the BIGGEST hacking by far...
Believe me, i had J70 for 4 years, and we could do almost everything with it.
I`ve closed my site, cause i changed it to a T630, but have a look at: http://pappfer.uw.hu (to the Programok menu).
ADesk program is the best by far..

Sorry, http://pappfer.fw.hu (the uw.hu one is my SE site - both Hungarian)
BTW if you wanna start hacking, syllas.com forum is the best.
And a lot of progs at http://www.r00t.cz
