I had an Ericsson phone through VoiceStream/MCI back in the late 90's and I absolutely loved the phone. I can't figure out which model it was, there are no good pictures online anymore.

I think I narrowed it down to:
T39?
T28
T10
T18
GF788

For some reason i remember it having a built in belt clip on the back?

No pictures? GSMArena.com still has plenty of pictures here.

thanks for the links. I have found those pictures, as well as some on phonescoop but I'm looking for for pictures of the backs of the phones. it seems that the t28 had a *white* back no matter what the color of the phone was.

I dont remember it being like that (granted I was 11 years old at the time)

did it have a button that opened the flip? t28 had that, and t39 didn't , so you can at least get one of those out the way...

bought a t39 the other day. realised how much crap our phones do these days.

Would it have been a T10s or the 768, I think they came with a built-in belt clip.

I'm really not sure, so hard to tell without actually seeing something in person.

If anyone has pictures of the t10, t18, gf788, or gf768 please post them. Or if anyone could take pictures of them, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help so far guys.

From what I can remember, the T18 didn't have a belt clip on the back. It was just a plain looking flip.

I think all the /// of that era had a slot for a belt clip, some of them like the GH337 had a slot in the battery for the belt clip. The T28 back was unpainted metal. searching on google images finds all the ones you listed, so it must be there somewhere

so these phones all had a belt clip that would be attached to the phone directly, not a holster?

anyone have a picture of said clip, and how it attaches to the phone?

thanks for the pictures of the phones, i've already done a google search on all of them. there were no good pictures of the backs of the phones.

still looking for pictures of the backs of these phones, along with the clip.
