DA Baracus Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 29 minutes ago, superbigal said: I was issued one of these by the Cooncil when I worked for them on a project circa 1993 I think. Problem I had was I thought i was the dog bollox and was phoning lots of "ladies" in front of my mates while out on the Bevvy. The cooncil docked my wages by about £200 for personal calls and i found out the hard way just how expensive the network charges were back in the day. Anyone else remember calls costing 50p a minute or whatever. Nah, but I mind texts were 10p each! But also you could have 5 or so numbers of your choice where it was a bit cheaper to text to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had one of those. The battery on it lasted for days and not hours. It was a great phone, almost indestructible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I had a Sony Eriksson, to operate the camera you turned it landscape and pulled in opposite directions to expose the camera lens. It was like a James Bond gadget. Anyone remember the model number? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 My first phone was one of these. Rented it from the old Radio Rentals. Couple of problems with it though. I was the only person that I knew of that had a mobile phone at the time. Also where I lived, there was no network coverage! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I've got a Samsung Galaxy A32 which seems to be cheap but most importantly (for me anyway) the battery seems to last for around 3 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I had one of these babies. Because the bottom bit sliding down at the mere touch of a button made me cool and important and matrixy.

This is one of the phones that are hot ticket in those circles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Got an upgrade the other day to the iPhone 13 and my fucking word, what a piece of kit lads. Moved up from the 11 and the upgrades are ridiculous. The A15 chip is so good, the battery isn't the biggest but it can last a day and a bit into the next with heavy use easily as the chip is so efficient. Would recommend to a friend, and most of my enemies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even that heavy on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
