Except for the Motorola Startac which was the bollocks in 1998.

I mean, it almost certainly wasn't, but it was flash as fuck at the time, which is alI was really in it for then, to be honest.

The only phone I ever really coveted was the Nokia 2112 or whatever it was called. The one from the first Matrix film that had a springloaded cover that slid open when you pressed a button.

RC, BrettWilliams and Sean like this.

I had the Nokia 7110 in the late 90s/early 00s, which was sort of similar.

Yeah I never got one but my mate Tony did. Admittedly didn't have quite the same level of cool in the hand of a fat balding lad from Manchester as it did Neo.
