Hi,
I'm searching for some old Ericsson handsets ER205, ER207, ER209i and A1028sc.
They are only available in Japan and I saw them sometimes on yahoo-auctions. Sadly the sellers mostly don't want to ship it overseas and it's hard to write a mail or talk to the seller because of the language problems.
Maybe it's possible to get help from some esato-member.
The phones MUST be new or like new and they MUST be original boxed.
The price should be lower than 25.000 Yen including postage to Germany/Europe (No need of express-delivery) for each phone.
I'd thanks for any advice or help to complete my collection of Ericsson-handsets.

Hey dude, this is my firstl post but anyway 
I lived in Japan for a while and because ALL phones are CDMA and therefore flashed, you never come across stores with secondhand phones. I wanted to get a nice Sharp Phone with 3G and all the major stuff, but I had to get a prepaid phone. Ended up getting the yellow version of that Ferrari themed Vodafone clam-flip thing. Horrible thing. Well in japan prepaid is minute, you get 3 models to choose from.
But no, sorry mate, I dont think you can buy used phones from Japan if you intend to use a sim. If you can scrounge one up from a personal contact then by all means, but you'd have to flash it or something to be able to use it. I dont recall seeing anyone's phones with SIM card bays in the back...
thanks bro |

Hi, thanks for details but I know that the er20x handsets are not useable inEurope. I just want them for my collection.
The A1028s is a GSM-handset which should be without problems unlocked and also should be possible to flash it with a free software if needed.
So I just want the phones in nearly unused condition. They just should be able to switch on to scroll through the menu. I don't need them to phone with them.
