I got a Ericsson SH888, when I start it without a sim-card it says SCANNER, when I start it with the sim-card it only say SCANNER at the beginning, could it be a SH888 TEMS?
Posted by Stolleman
I found it in the menu that it is a genuine TEMS, what a surprise, I thought it was a regular SH888

@Stolleman:
If I am not mistaken, your T68 prototype belonged to Communication Research Labs Sweden AB. Also, check PM.
Posted by Stolleman
@Collector
That could be the story, the T68 was one of few prototypes and Ericsson/Sony Ericsson TEMS I bought from a guy that got it from another guy who could have worked with some testing, the seller didn't remember.
Posted by Stolleman
Here is a R520m TU2 i pretty good condition from the same parcel as T68 prototype so the story behind it is the same.
It arrived with the TEMS antenna but it's no TEMS phone or have the TEMS software, really strange! In the last pic is a close up of the antenna, have anyone seen this antenna before? Why is it purple? for which phone is it ment to be on?
Från is swedish and means From.
mtu = mobile test unit?
Posted by Collector
The antenna came from a purple R320 TEMS. That means it is a dualband 900/1800MHz antenna. Using this R520 in a 1900MHz network might damage its power amplifier.
Posted by Stolleman
Now when you tell me that, of course it belongs to a R320. Now i need a purple R320 TEMS for my antenna
Thank you for the information, I didn't know that. the antenna is now changed to a R520m antenna.
Posted by Collector
There is only a brown R320 TEMS in my collection and it does have the corresponding antenna. I'll take some pictures of it and its user's guide the next week.

@all:
this was my very first Ericsson phone, the first Ericsson love, the first model that caused an entire passion
In my collection since 2004
What was yours? Please tell me, if possible with a pic!
Posted by Collector
My very first Ericsson phone was a GH688 in 1998. I used it with an ultra-slim NiMH battery, a short antenna and a vibration clip that attached to its system connector. It was a very reliable and durable phone. Unfortunately, I sold it before I could make a picture of it.
In about a year I replaced it with a dual-band SH888, the most reliable phone Ericsson has ever built. Unlike Nokia phones, it was equipped with a real IrDA port. It was truly a professional tool built around a sturdy magnesium frame. There was only one phone I liked more than the SH888 - it was the I888 WORLD. Unfortunately, it was impossible to get it in my country for a reasonable price.
The SH888 then got replaced by a T18s. Nice, small phone, with embedded vibra-motor and with voice recognition capability. I liked it a lot, but its frame was made of plastic, and the circuitry was quite obsolete. It had to be replaced by something better.
In 2000 the T28s appeared. Ultra slim body, with Li-Pol battery and a magnesium frame. The. Perfect. Phone.
Unfortunately, after several months it stopped working - its power amplifier failed and the phone could not be turned on anymore. I bought it unoficially, so I could not send it for a repair.
So I went directly to Ericsson and bought a stone purple R320s for a full price. Replaced the slim battery by an ultra-slim one from the T28. This was the most feature packed phone to that date and in a very nice, timeless design.
But then the R520m and T36m were announced. Got to have the T36m. Unfortunately it was cancelled and I had to buy the R520m instead which turned to be even better phone than the T39m (a replacement for T36m). I consider the R520m to be the best Ericsson phone according to my own needs. I still own that R520m (since 2001). It has the first place in my collection (among standard phones)...

Hi everybody
I want to present you my little collecion of ERISCCON & Sony Erisccon phones. All of them are new, or almost new:
And the qiuz: can anybody tell whait is the name of this phone? I bught it long time ago, but still don't have an idea what is it..
Posted by Collector
Nice collection, Adrian4477!
I haven't seen the T601 before. It's very different from T600 and T602. I guess it is quite a rarity!
Posted by Stolleman
@bucheral
My first phone ever was this blue Ericsson T10s, I was the only one in my school class who owned one.
@Adrian4477
Impressive collection and they all are in very good condition
@all
I found this pic, I got this phone from a friend who found it in his mothers cellar. With a working battery the phone works as it should.
Posted by bucheral
@Stolleman: thank you!
I tried to take some new pictures of my collection, to share with you all, bought a new camera from Canon, the results are not so bad aren't they? I have some more phones, but they do not find space in those glass cabinets
Posted by Stolleman
@bucheral
That camera seems to be a good investment, really good pics on something beautifull.
Do I spot a lighthouse among the phones
Could I wish for a pic of all the phones that doesn't fit in the cabinet?
Posted by bucheral
@Stolleman:
yes the lighthouse is among the phones, don't worry, this Swedish front cover rarity will always find a place
For the rest, give me some time to sort out what is not shown on the pic, I then will take a picture
Posted by Stolleman
@bucheral
Not to show? Every Ericsson deserves to be shown
Feels good that something from me have found a place in your cabinet, in some way an honor I have to say
@all
From the parcel with T68 proto and SH888 TEMS is this DH198 Hotline in good condition.
I wonder why it have the Erisoft sticker, do anyone know?
Posted by bucheral
@Stolleman,
never saw that sticker, this is an interesting phone to have
The next picture is for you!
Posted by Stolleman
@bucheral
The lighthouse do look really good, thank you for the pic
@all
here are some pics of my SH888 TEMS, in the same parcel i got one more SH888 that doesn't start and I think it could be a TEMS too, I have to try troubleshoot it some day.
Posted by rapidblue
Hey there everyone. I haven't been on here in YEARS!! You guys have great collections - I am so jealous
Anyways, I think I'm gonna start buying up some oldies too. Trying my luck at some eBay sellers - just so difficult to find phones out there that are in really good condition. I see you guys mentioned on here that you guys sometimes replace the housings with new ones? Hope you guys don't mind me asking some questions when I start getting m phones

Hi everybody,
Sorry to bump in, but this is my last chance, hopefully can someone help me. I have an old Ericsson DECT phone DT-260, i.e. a base station and four mobiles. The base station was for a very long time out of use, in fact I used it only as a charging station for one of the mobiles, as I used a different base station (a Skype-o-phone).
Now I am trying to resuscitate the base station to install it at a hollyday home where we do have a standard phone line. Unfortunately, the DT-260 base station uses a special phone cable, something with all six wires on the RJ-11 phone jack wired. I remember when I bought the phone (sometimes in 1999) I tried to use a standard phone jack cable and it didn't work. I suspect the original Ericsson cable hat some special connections on the unused wires. In fact, after inspecting the PCB of the base station, all but one of the six wires are wired on the board (although only two are for the phone line!).
You probably understood by now that I've lost the original cable and I am desperate to find out what the hell is so special with the cable. Does anyone has an old original Ericsson DECT phone cable (I suspect that other Ericsson phones, i.e. DT-200, had a similar cable) to tell me how is the wiring done? I guess with an ohm-meter should be quite easy to find out. Or maybe the schematic diagram of the DT-260? I am quite proficient at electronics, being a developer myself.
I even inquired Ericsson about this, they told me that this is an old product and they cannot help me
Best regards,
Lix
Posted by 103ssv
Hi Lix
Were are you from, I have a spare base station (DT260) with all connections lying around.
[ This Message was edited by: 103ssv on 2012-05-21 21:32 ]
Posted by lix
Hi 103ssv,
Thanks for reply. I am from Austria. Do you have the original cable between the base station and the telephone line? The cable should have a RJ-11 jack at one end (towards the base station) and a country-specific plug at the other end, so probably it is different from the austrian plug. However, both should have some kind of internal connection between the cable wires, and this is what would be of particular value for me. Do you have the possibility to measure the cable with an ohmmeter and check for some shorts between specific wires?
Best regards,
Lix
Posted by lix
Never mind, I have found the solution. If there are other people in need of this info, to make it work you need to short the wires 2 with 3 and 4 with 5 of a 6 wire cable. Something like this:
DT260 ------- phone line
1 ----------------- open (or missing)
2 ------\
3 ------+--------- 3
4 ------+--------- 4
5 ------/
6 ----------------- open (or missing)
Maybe this will help someone else...
Best regards,
Lix

hi stoleman,
yes it works normally but i only start up once a week and just for a check the function.
but in my place it only works in one provider and the other provider its low signal and sometimes "no network" or searching only.

@Stolleman:
nice phones, wow, you are a big S868 fan, aren't you?
@all:
T65 jubilee, 10 years fully working, how is it possible, I never changed the battery unit, incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never saw a phone with a better battery: The companies Ericsson and Sony-Ericsson are no more, but the t65 still works, it seems for ever
Someone of you has made the same experience?
Posted by rapidblue
@bucheral: 10 years and still the same battery?? That is impressive!!! Gonna get me a T65 too
Posted by bucheral
@rapidblue:
yes, incredible! Know what? I have some more T65 phones, all of them in my glass cabinet, as the years go by from time to time I start them up and they work.....I never saw something like that

Hi
I recently got this R320s, wich unfortunately does not work (won't turn on aka the Mexican bug!).
However I haven't seen one labelled this:
Is there someone who can tell me more about this version?
Of all the R320's I have there isn't one with "co WAP-version" on the IMEI sticker.
Posted by bart
I have a question for all the
fans.
If our society would end on dec 21 2012 and we had to chose one phone that would survive it as a icon to show the future what we had. Would be an Ericsson, and if so which one?
Posted by bucheral
@103ssv: is it a proto?
@bart:
R520m copper or T39m : stylish, reliable, elegant
If you need one with a super battery, take the T65
Posted by 103ssv
@bucheral
It has a regular IMEI so I can not tell.
I tried to take the firmware of of it, but the phone is as dead as a phone can be
I suppose it has a dead voltage regulator, but I don't have the tools to replace it.

@103ssv: There are two variants of R320 WAP software. The regular one that uses UDP transfers and the Connection-Oriented one that uses TCP connections.
Posted by Collector
R320 (UDP)WAP/Modem software ID: CXC125188
R320 CO-WAP/Modem software ID: CXC125283
R320 GPRS has no support for WAP, and its modem only supports IrDA.

Hello friends.
Torec'm from Barcelona, Spain.
I apologize for not speaking proper English.
I am a lover of the Ericsson brand mobile phones.
I have bought an Ericsson R250s Pro Ebay very well priced.
The phone works but is locked.
I have the "ATR by Zulea" but did not get the Pro model R250 s
What I can do?
How I can release the Ericsson R250 Pro?
Thank you very much from Barcelona, Spain.
Torec
Posted by 103ssv
Thanks Collector!
@ Torec ATR only works on Win '98 and does not support the R520.
I think you need SEMC tool or USR (universal simlock remover).
I also have ATR but haven't had any luck on unlocking any phones
regards
Posted by Collector
@torec: The R250s PRO is very similar to SH888, S868, CF888 and I888 WORLD phones. Unfortunately, I don't know what software to use to unlock them.
