I had one of these in the 90's, absolutely revolutionary, loved it. Bringing that out of the jacket pocket in the pub and sliding it down to answer made you feel the absolute bees knees. Far better than fumbling to touch or slide something on a big screen!!
It also put an end to accidently pocketing dialing the Mrs from the pub, when you told her you were in the office getting a report finished!!

1. someone I know had one and eventually wore it out to the point the slide simply continued to the floor, while he tried to look cool.
2. current Android phones can be set to answer on volume key press, so no need to fumble the screen.

Their "banana phone", now re-released.

yes I say that when googling for the old one, updated in smart phone form. I'd struggle to see the small screen without my 1996 eyes though!
I remember everyone wanting those - too flashy for me though!

Have yet to use it as a phone but if you're used to a standard dumb phone, well, it's only slightly less dumb! But does have 4G, so useful for the forseeable.
Edit: paid £36 brand new, April 2020.

As mentioned earlier, I got it to use as a 4G tether when our landline was destroyed by a fire.

Nadgers, does this mean my phone (which I have just bought after putting the previous one through the wash) won't access the internet, it is a 3g phone?
I'm with talkmobile which is Vodafone owned I believe.

Once they have switched it off - yes!
Is it a modern phone? I'm surprised that any new device doesn't work with at last 4G!

Good 2G phone, that's still worth a few quid.

It's a model which was discontinued almost 10 years ago. I got it as I had got used to the model and couldn't be bothered with the faff of learning how to use a newer model.
