whats that r320 at the left? never saw that cover before, is that original?
Posted by Tigerente
It's an original colour design trial.
It's called R320 chrome. silver keypad and silver cover - cover is made of plastic.
Posted by BobaFett
can a titan be flashed with r320 fw?
Posted by Vein
The R320 in chrome has to be one of the nicest R320s around. Sad that they weren't commercialised
Posted by bleurdeur
Nice display Tiger, those R320s' are super, just hope they did come out commercially or not too rare for the Titan.
@boba:
actually the R320 Titan is mainly an R320s too but with Titanium casing alone, so the possiblity of it bein flashed with R320s FW is indeed possible.
@tiger:
any idea on how the R320 TEMS handset works? How do you operate the extra "POCKET" menu & what do all those numbers on the stanby screen represent. One thing I do notice though is that the menu scrolling & navigation is significantlly smoother & faster than the ordinary R320 FW.
Posted by BobaFett
i would be really interested, who gave /// the titans as a gift or a kind or honour ( ? ) imo these models were made for sure as a kind of "special editions" for some reason.
Posted by bleurdeur
well that's the beauty of ///, aside from the rarity of finding a pure /// swedish made mobile phone nowadays & the fact that they even made limited editions to their line up makes owning one a true delight to its beholder.
I was wondering, does Tiger have an /// communicator? The one like Angelina Jolie's in the 1st Tomb Raider which was paired with the orange R310s in her Land Rover Defender

Ericsson Press Releases
Ericsson shows world's first titanium mobile telephone
Date: Tuesday, February 8 2000
http://www.ericsson.com/press/archive/2000Q1/20000208-0005.html
During the International Furniture Fair in Stockholm, Ericsson will show
for the first time the R320 TITAN, a design study based on Ericsson's R320
WAP phone. The Titan phone is only made in a limited edition of 50 phones
and has been developed to study the material; titanium, which has never been
used before in a mobile phone.
The first, exclusive opportunity to experience the R320 TITAN will be
given at David Design's showroom in Stockholm on February 8th and during
the International Furniture Fair in Stockholm, from February 9th until
the 13th. Together with exciting new furniture from David Design and a
new line of clothing from NN, fully working models of the titanium phone
will be on display. However, the R320 TITAN is only made in a limited
edition of 50 phones and is not planned to become a commercial product,
the aim is to experiment with new materials and design.
"As Titanium is one of the strongest materials available, it is extremely
complex to work with and it has been a high-level task for Ericsson's
engineers and designers to succeed in making this product look good,"
says Jan Ahrenbring, Vice President Marketing and Communications at
Ericsson Mobile Communications. "For an innovative company like Ericsson
it is obvious to experiment with new materials."
Ericsson has a long tradition of using metals in their mobile phones; many
models have magnesium frames for providing strength. The unique solution
to use a solid metal construction, which Ericsson is first in the industry
to present, gives durability and also unique design. The R320 TITAN's
clarity in form is in line with today's Scandinavian design, long embraced
by design connoisseurs and recently picked up among style and trend-
conscious youth.
The R320 TITAN is shown for the public for the first time in Scandinavia
because of Scandinavia's reputation for good design and also because
Scandinavia is the top mobile telephony region in the world. 73 percent of
the population in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway has a mobile
telephone (year 2000) and consumers tend to use advanced mobile telephony
services as well.
During May and June last year, Ericsson hosted the "Make yourself heard"
exhibition at Forum For Form in Stockholm. The exhibition showcased
design, art and handicraft which all represented strong personal
expressions. The co-operation with David Design during the International
Furniture Fair is the next step for Ericsson in adding design on the
agenda. David Design, a young and fresh institution for design, is
producing a furniture collection that is sold in 22 different countries.
The design is based on Swedish tradition, which means simple, direct and
subtle design, quality in materials and craftsmanship, function and
comfort. Values that match Ericsson's products, including the R320 Titan.
It was September last year at a spectacular event in Hong Kong, that
Ericsson globally unveiled the R320. With its sleek and elegant design,
WAP-functionality (Wireless Application Protocol), calendar and big
display, it is a phone for the customer who appreciates functionality and
efficiency. The R320 is only 15 mm thin and weighs less than 100 grams.
During 1999, Ericsson launched a completely new product portfolio, where
the R320 is an important product. The R320 has a WAP-browser to access
Internet content. WAP is a microbrowser especially developed for mobile
use and the main worldwide industry standard for providing Internet
communications and advanced services on digital mobile phones and other
wireless devices.
Titanium was named after the Titans - powerful mythological sons of
Uranus, the sky god, and Gaia, the earth goddess. Titanium was first
isolated more than 200 years ago in Cornwall, England. It was not purified
until 1910, and was not refined and produced in commercial quantities
until the early 1950s. Titanium is today used for military applications,
surgical implants and jewellery, and in other areas where strength is
important. Titanium is a common metal although relatively costly to
produce. Pure titanium is as hard as platinum, which is by far the
strongest of the precious metals. Titanium is immune to corrosive attack
by salt water or marine atmospheres and also exhibits exceptional
resistance to a broad range of acids, alkalis, natural waters and
industrial chemicals. Considering all its various and forthcoming
applications, titanium is the metal of the future. They say silver is for
luck, gold is for love, and titanium is for life.
R320 and R320 TITAN features include:
GSM 900/1800 dual band
WAP browser
Calendar with synchronisation
Voice dialling/answering
In-built infra-red modem and RS232 cable modem
Full graphic display
Voice memo
Games; Tetris and Klondike
Vibrating call alert
Alarm clock, timer and stopwatch
Calculator

Just asking, what's the difference of T20e and T20s ? I've been told it's wave frequency but I don't know for sure...

Posted by BobaFett
Then how comes,that /// used s and e for diff reasons in 20 and 380? The codes usually matched the features, like m, mc etc
Posted by Vein
Hmm, not much of a difference, the colour designs look good though
Beige colour and pink coloured T20's are rare aren't they?
Nice prototype Louie

Thought blue t20 was rare, actually i saw beige ones often. Never saw green one, only as dummy.
Posted by Vein
The white one with electric blue down the middle? They look nice.
Posted by BobaFett
Why has got t20 1150 mah batt? Imo it wasnt a must at this model. Maybe cos of the missing feature of different batts, like at t28 etc?
Posted by bart
for only 20euro you can have my T20e its in perfect condtion
Posted by Vein
What colour is it Bart?
Posted by bart
its grey silver, and even the battery is in top condition

Posted by BobaFett

Does anyone else know of any TU3's around?
Posted by BobaFett
@tiger why is the right one back darker as at the others? or is it just the light?
Posted by Tigerente
Why ..... don't know, but it's not because of the light.
First protos ( up to TU1) have been a bit lighter, second charge of protos (TU2) have been a bit darker than final units.
Here's a small pics of the three different protos I own and an final unit, whare you can see the different colours. All TU2 I was able to see by my own eyes have had the same dark silver back. TU1 and 'real' proto I just saw mine by my own eyes, but seems that /// tried out the best colour or different kind of colours while making trial units.

Could be as simple as a different alloy for the chassis..
You know, a little more zinc and a little less of some other metal. I don´t know if that really is the reason, but i know it could very well be
Posted by BobaFett
i noticed differences at r320 and r520 backs, 320 looked more dark, as one of that protos.

Hi Guys,
I'm just in for a short one before I go back to my work station, does any one have an idea if you could send SMS from a GH197?
I've been trying to work it out for hours but this is the first time I have ever handled a menu system such as this. I know it could receive SMS but could you actually send as well? To be frank with you, I guess I'm the only one with such I guess in the entire Philippines which makes me evn PROUDER.
Thanks TIGER

No way! First /// with SMS-send was one of the 3xx. This handsets is from the good old times. Thoses days you called an operator from your network provider and told me what the send as SMS.
I'm glad to hear that you managed to charge it. But I'll look on.
Posted by volvoman
My TU1 has jet duel and tetris.
Posted by BobaFett
388 was the first with sms sending feature.

Just realised my T39m has "Sony Ericsson Communications" written in the back of it, is it like that on all of the T39's ?
Posted by BobaFett
the latest t39, t68 has unfortunately se written on the back, not ///. i usually avoid to take those units, only cos of the se text.

Sadly ebay doesn't provide inside pics of the phones! T29s didn't come boxed sadly and weren't from ebay.
I should be getting my white T20s tomorrow and a boxed T65
Posted by BobaFett
u should upgrade t39 with r4a008 and check the t65 aswell, afaik the last fw is r6a008
Posted by Vein
Got a lovely white T20s today
It's lost it's volume button and needs a bit of a clean, but apart from that, it's great
Looks really odd though against all the usual coloured /// T20's.
I'll post some pictures once they're all charged up!
EDIT: Here they are
