Ericsson ER207 (NTT DoCoMo): Ultra-Rare Japan-Only Release
Quick ViewA remarkable and extremely rare Japan-exclusive Ericsson ER207, produced in August 1999 for NTT DoCoMo’s PDC network. This model was never sold internationally and represents Ericsson’s transitional era when the company tailored unique hardware specifically for the Japanese market – often completely different from their global product line.
The ER207 embodies classic late-90s Japanese mobile design: compact, angular, antenna-based and featuring the distinctive “DIGITAL” logo across the display window. Unlike mainstream Ericsson models of the same era, the ER207 employed Japan’s proprietary PDC 800/1500 MHz system, resulting in a device architecture not compatible with GSM and making it fundamentally different from eur;opean Ericsson phones. Unit is accompanied by original accessories, including the Japan-style hand strap, a collectible piece of its own that reflects the cultural design philosophy of late-90s Japanese phones, where personalization and wearable portability were key features. This makes the device not just rare – but historically significant as part of the very limited Ericsson-DoCoMo collaboration portfolio.

Ericsson Futaba | Unreleased Prototype
Quick ViewAn extremely rare, never-released Ericsson prototype: a 2.5 GHz engineering unit labelled “Not Type approved”, made in Sweden (label: KRH 901 80 EP2, 06W38).
Fully functional. Tested in a live call on the Orange network, and to my surprise both the earpiece and the microphone work perfectly. Both screens still carry their protective films.
The original battery is swollen, so the phone was powered with another battery from the collection. Good to know: it takes the same battery as the Ericsson T66.
Overall condition: good.

Ericsson GH 174
Quick ViewEricsson’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 R290
Quick ViewThe Ericsson R290 is a combined GSM and satellite phone using the Globalstar satellite network. The R290 was introduced in June 1999 and manufactured in the United Kingdom by Ericsson Mobile Communications.
The Globalstar uses a foldable antenna that is the same length as the body of the telephone. The R290 comes in a blue and black case in a style similar to other Ericsson phones of its period. The case incorporates some Gore-Tex weatherproofing, similar to that used in the Ericsson R310s, although less extensive.
The R290 also has a built-in modem for data and fax communication at 9.6 kbit/s in GSM mode and 7.2 kbit/s in satellite mode.
Ericsson R290 Satellite 002.jpg The R290 is somewhat larger than typical, pure GSM phones, measuring 162 mm (6.4 in) x 62 mm (2.4 in) x 39 mm (1.5 in) and weighing 350 g (12 oz) (with slim battery). The R290 has relatively brief battery life compared with typical, pure GSM phones of its generation.
Because it uses a non-standard battery voltage, its charging connector is not one of the types commonly seen on other Ericsson handsets. The device was capable of detecting over-voltage from inappropriate charging equipment, and warning the user to disconnect the charger.
The R290 spanned the corporate change from Ericsson to Sony Ericsson (when many of Ericsson’s other phones were redesigned), being the only combined GSM and satellite phone in their range; it was not rebranded, however.

Ericsson S868: Swedish Bronze Edition
Quick ViewThe 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.

Ericsson T28s
Quick ViewThe T28 was the lightest and slimmest mobile phone at the time, with a weight of only 83 grams.
Unlike many mobile phones of the time (1999-2001) it had a fixed, stubby external antenna. It was probably best known as the first phone that used lithium polymer batteries. At one point, it was the best selling mobile phone in America.
In terms of market positioning, Ericsson designated this as a premium phone, as such it was priced substantially higher (often more than triple) the price of the T10 and T18 devices – their nearest cosmetic and functional competitors. It has a tiny LCD screen and an spring-loaded latch mechanism to release the ‘flip.’
Models Four different versions of the T28 were sold. T28z was compatible with GSM1900 for use in North America. T28s was compatible with GSM900/1800 for use in the rest of the world – this is by far the most common version. T28 World was compatible with GSM900/1900 for use worldwide on GSM900 and North America on GSM1900 (this was the second World phone Ericsson introduced, the first being the I888 which had the distinction of being the first commercially available GSM900/1900 phone). A special version, the T28sc was released in China with support for reading and entering Chinese characters.
The device came in three colours-very dark blue, lighter blue and sand. The sand version being the least common.
The device was listed as compatible with two batteries. A normal slim-line and an ultra-slim lower capacity battery. However the device was also battery-compatible with the later R320 and R520 series.
