well its interesting that I cannot pick it from that list on europmobiles, though the T10 reminds me most of what I am thinking of.
But looking at all those ericsson phones I realise I must be mellowing in my old age as quite alot of those old styles now appeal I think what put me off most of them was also the small displays compared with Nokia and motorola phones I had at the time.

I dont think so because they are making the parts that is inside the phone even smaller all the time. This thread is about history so lets talk about that instead of the future.

yes, its a real pity, but we have 2 accept d facts. i am really happy that u visited us, actually it was d main reason of this topic, that fans and freaks have d opportunity speak about d past.
personally, my good old 320 and 520 reminds me of d big /// fones, ebody mention it. d size of d /// was always a bit bigger than of d other operators, but my oipnion is, that they r more handable and usable than small fones.
my finger has more free place 2 surf on d keypad and optimal serve it at wrighting. of cours i love my t68 and t610 too!!!
wish me an 520 with 65k screen, mms and a camera.

1987: Curt, a converted police radio design turned into an NMT 900 phone and later a ETACS mobile. The first Ericsson handheld. Known officially as the HotLine Pocket.
1989: Olivia. Introduced originally for NMT 900 networks, followed by versions for ETACS, AMPS, and eventually GSM. The first Ericsson GSM phone and consequently its first all digital mobile.
1991: Sandra, first version in NMT 900, then ETACS, D-AMPS/AMPS, and finally GSM in 1993.
1996: Jane, D-AMPS, GSM, DCS, PCS1900/GSM. A 'slim' version appeared in a D-AMPS 1900 model as well as a PDC version
This link has been up before but is defenaetly history.
Another very old Ericsson product
