Your oldest working phone

[Rouxenator]

Let's take a walk down memory lane, dig through your drawers and try to power up your oldest cellphone.

I just made a call on my Nokia 1610 with home made battery :



Will see how long this battery last. Might change it to a Li-Po one that fits into the battery pack.

Only thing broken is the battery cover clip.

We give our old phones away.

Closest I have is my emergency phone.


Currently in the cupboard with the fully charged battery not attached to the phone.

The D500 was good but the D600 ( business version ) was better ( slimmer and ruberised back ). Mine went through a washing machine ( on two separate occasions ) and I gave it to my brother years ago to use. As far as I know that phone still works and is being passed on.

Remember that extra speaker you could plug into the headphones slot to make it louder?

There is no chance I will part with my 1610. Seems to be the oldest one here so far.

I still have it

 

[grok]

Cleared out all the older non-smartphones & chargers a while ago, but oldest I kept is 1st gen iPhone 2G. Still works but the screen is cracked.

 

[labratza]

wow, did the 1610 not use the original credit card size sim card?

 

[Rouxenator]

It does indeed use full sized sim cards. I'll post a pic later.
