  • Benq Siemens EF51

    💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9.5/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2006 | 💰 Release Price: ~100 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~700k


    📰 Why this phone matters: As odd as it may be for me to say, it’s a really cute phone, even a little girly perhaps. It has a certain je-ne-sais-quoi feel when it comes to its looks. A warped egg maybe? You decide. The EF51 has a small TFT display with a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels and 256k colors. The keypad is right behind the music player panel in front. So all you have to do is flip it open. The keys on the pad may seem small, but they’re easy to use.

    On one side you’ll find a dedicated voice recorder key followed by the volume keys and the dedicated camera key. There’s also the proprietary charging port. On the other side is the proprietary earphone / USB socket, but thankfully BenQ-Siemens has provided a converter to 3.5mm. Underneath this socket is the miniSD card slot. The EF51 weighs in at 95g which also makes it a light mobile phone aside from being small.

  • Benq Siemens EF81 Special Star Wars Edition

    💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: 0 | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2006 | 💰 Release Price: N/A

    📊 Units Sold: ~1.8M


    📰 Why this phone matters: The BenQ-Siemens EF81 is undoubtedly similar specs-wise and even in looks to the Motorola Razr V3x. The most impressive design feature of this phone is how thin it is, considering it has the same features as the Motorola V3x — which is much bigger. The EF81 measures 51 by 94 by 16mm thin whereas the V3x is 55 by 99 by 20mm, making the EF81 4mm less wide, 5mm shorter and 4mm thinner.

  • Ericsson A1018s: Coca-Cola Edition The Golden Age of Brand Collaborations

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: Rare Coca-Cola promotional edition with officially designed Coca-Cola fascia

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: 0m | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2000 | 💰 Release Price: N/A

    📊 Units Sold: ~2k


    📰 Why this phone matters: Created during a unique moment when global brands began exploring mobile technology as a marketing medium, the Ericsson A1018s Coca-Cola Edition stands as one of the most iconic promotional phones ever released. Produced in Sweden at the start of the year 2000 and distributed exclusively through Coca-Cola campaigns, it was never sold in stores. Released exclusively through Coca-Cola Great Britain in partnership with the One-2-One network, this phone could not be purchased under any circumstances – instead, it required participants to collect 60 promotional Coca-Cola ring pulls or bottle tokens, attach them to an application sheet, fill out the official Coca-Cola Application Form in block capitals, and mail everything together with a £30 cheque or postal order before the 30 September 2000 cutoff. Approved applications received the phone by post along with a prepaid One-2-One SIM pack and accessories.

    This edition is instantly recognizable by its factory-issued Coca-Cola fascia – a chrome surface decorated with rising bubble motifs and the flowing “Enjoy” script, perfectly echoing Coca-Cola’s classic advertising themes of the late ’90s and early 2000s. Combined with the elegant black frame and Ericsson’s signature oval keys, the design merges the energy of Coca-Cola branding with the industrial clarity of Ericsson’s pre-Sony mobile philosophy. It retains all the authentic A1018s internals: removable fascia, SMS capability, ringtone composer, and the special Coca-Cola ringtone delivered as part of the official promotional batch.

    The full box presentation elevates the rarity even further. The promotional kit includes Coca-Cola branded inserts, themed accessories, original battery, documentation, and the distinctive packaging style documented in collector archives. Preserved in BNIB condition, it maintains the exact look and feel it had the day it left the factory – a true artifact of the era.

    More than a mobile device, this edition represents a collaboration between two global icons and one of the most memorable reward-based phone campaigns of the early GSM era. Today, the A1018s Coca-Cola Edition is widely regarded as one of the most desirable and visually unique special editions ever produced.

    ⏱ Life timer: 0m | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2000 | 💰 Release Price: N/A

    📊 Units Sold: ~5M


    📰 Why this phone matters: Ericsson A2618 offers WAP and SMS technology, it becomes the fourth Ericsson mobile phone with WAP function (the other belongs to MC218, R320 and R380).

  • Ericsson GH 174

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Very Good – 8.5/10

    🕵 Ericsson Codename: Curt

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 1992 | 💰 Release Price: ~300 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~500k


    📰 Why this phone matters: Ericsson’s new GSM digital pocket telephone, the GH172, has now received the ITA (Interim Type Approval) certificate from German authorities. The GH172 has passed all segments of the required testing, and was approved for the digital telephone standard in eur;ope, GSM. Deliveries of the product will begin in Germany in November, 1992. Ericsson’s first GSM phone was a re-engineered version of the similar looking, NH72. N refers to NMT, the old Nordic analogue network, G to GSM and H stands for hand portable/handset. The NH72 was developed from a larger brown and orange creation, Ericsson’s first hand portable, the HotLine Pocket. Nils Rylands, Head of Research at the Ericsson Mobile Telephone Laboratory and his team took a police radio and turned it into a mobile phone. The codename for this project was ‘Curt’. ‘Curt’ broke a long running Ericsson tradition.

    Up until then, all Ericsson mobile phone research projects had been given female names. The female naming returned for the GH172/NH72, which was called ‘Olivia’. The successor, a slightly updated version GH174, made in white buttons.

  • Ericsson S868: Swedish Bronze Edition

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: One of the first dual-band GSM 900/1800 phones – built for roaming and network resilience.

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: As New – 9.8/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 1998 | 💰 Release Price: ~600 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~150k


    📰 Why this phone matters: The Ericsson S868 is a legendary late-1990s dual-band GSM phone that pushed mobile communication into a new era of reliability and quality. Introduced by Ericsson in 1998 as a premium dual-band (GSM 900/1800) handset, the S868 delivered enhanced roaming capabilities, robust build quality, and the kind of dependable performance that made it a top choice for business users and world travelers.

    This unit is fully functional, comes with its full original box, and remains in as-new condition – a rare find for a model built in 1999. Its rare bronze-metallic finish and pristine Swedish-made shell underline the exclusivity of this phone.

    Built in week 20 of 1999 in Sweden, this S868 is part of one of the final production runs before Ericsson transitioned to their next-generation series. The original label confirms its eur;opean configuration, dual-band network support, and certification compliance – affirming it as a genuine factory piece rather than a later reproduction or modded unit.

    What makes the S868 truly special is its dual-band capability (GSM 900 & GSM 1800), implemented at a time when network congestion was growing rapidly. Ericsson designed the S868 to automatically switch between bands for uninterrupted calls and roaming – a cutting-edge feature in 1998 that many rivals lacked.

    The phone also supported the then-high-end Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) speech coding, delivering voice clarity comparable to fixed-line phones.

    In a world before smartphones, the S868 offered elegant simplicity and robust functionality: reliable calls across multiple GSM bands, solid build, crisp keypad, clean external antenna, and minimalist design. As a Swedish-made executive-class handset from the twilight of the 1990s GSM era, this S868 stands as a collectible relic of where mobile telephony once stood – before internet browsing, cameras, and data plans.

    Whether kept as a pristine collector’s piece or admired for its engineering purity, the S868 remains a symbol of “classic mobile phone” craftsmanship. Its rarity, condition, and historical significance make it more than just a phone – it’s a time capsule of mobile communication’s golden age.
