Gamla mobiltelefoner på väg till återvinningen. Från vänster #Benefon, #Motorola, #Nokia *2. Tycker fortfarande att den röda Nokia N76 är den snyggaste telefonen jag ägt. Här kunde #apple gärna ta lite designexempel, eller åtminstone äntligen göra en vikbar iPhone!

Fun fact: the GeoBook shares some code and OS with the Ericsson phone that James Bond used to drive the BMW 7-Series from the back seat; although Ericsson canned project Penelope before it made it to production (we were doing the email on that).

It can also trace its code through to Microsoft Mobile Explorer (MS bought STNC in 1999), which was on the Sony Z5/J5/Z7/J7 and Benefon Q mobile phones and the Amstrad eMailer!

Also found one of my Benefon Q mobile phones. That's got some of my software on it, because we did the Web (and WAP...) browser for it
