It was a blue nokia brick with 2 rubber lights on either side.

Orane lights?

Would be the 3510i perhaps. Also came in a weird gold colour

Oh you youngsters and your fancy shmancy phones, This was my first phone in 95

You could make and receive calls THAT was it:eek:

Mine too. Weighed a tonne - well 500g - and the poxy aerial doubled its size. Battery life was only around 8 hours.

I was looking at this thread and thinking ... phone at that time were pretty much all European brands aside from Motorola and NEC. Things have changed!

Between 1988-90, I actually leased a mobile phone as they were so dear to buy. It was a Mitsubishi MT3 or MP3 (not sure) I had a small collection/delivery freight service running between Donegal and Dublin and was using the damn thing to alert customers of my imminent arrival. Reception was dreadful especially on the move and the lease charges were something like 50 punts + vat a month. Got rid of it eventually and emigrated and didn't own another mobile phone untill 1999 when they began to be affordable.

There were actually some *very* small 088 (analogue TACS network) phones.

The latter years of analogue produced some really amazingly small phones as there was hardly any technology in them really at all other than a radio transmitter and a very small bit of computing power.

They were smaller than GSM phones when GSM first launched.
