when we're so busy to clean the stor-room of our bank.. suddenly we've found the all mighty MOBIRA TALKMAN!

what an antiq for me

here's some of the picture ..

the manual is still there! the thing that shocked me was the NOKIA word on the front page of the manual

and it comes with the bag pack aswell

any comment for this Antiq? or maybe someone could tell me what is the cost for this to date

cheers~

On the other side of the world from Motorola's USA dominance the Finnish manufacturer of cellular car phones Mobira came out with a revolutionary product: one of the very first handheld cellular phones, the 'Mobira Cityman'

In a brilliantly staged photo opportunity, Mobira arranged for the then Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev to be handed a Cityman to receive a phone call. Ever since this marketing coup, Finns have referred to this prototypical cell phone model as the "Gorba".

Mobira eventually merged with Nokia, and thus from the seed of the humble Gorba grew the world's largest cell phone manufacturer, while the Gorba itself was all but forgotten.

These are VERY scarce now and command a very high price. This was the father of every single modern Nokia which has become the best selling make of phone in the world today.
