    ⭐ WOW Factor: Rare co-branded F1 team phone: A Sharp 770SH with Vodafone McLaren Mercedes branding – unique and tied to a major F1 partnership

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10

    📅 Release Year: 2007 | 💰 Release Price: N/A

    📊 Units Sold: ~500k

    📰 Why this phone matters: This Sharp 770SH Vodafone McLaren Mercedes edition is a rare blend of mobile tech and Formula 1 identity, created at the height of the Vodafone and McLaren Mercedes partnership. The phone carries the official team branding directly on its polished metallic shell, making it instantly recognizable as part of the visual universe that surrounded the McLaren team in the late 2000s. It reflects the era when the team was front and center in the sport, with Vodafone leading its global marketing push and the car wearing the famous chrome and red livery seen on the grid.

    The 770SH itself comes from Sharp’s premium clamshell series used heavily by Vodafone across eur;ope and Asia. Known for its sharp internal display, clean hinge engineering and reliable hardware, the model was often used for carrier-specific special editions. This McLaren variant stands out through its unique exterior design, making it part of a very small group of officially branded motorsport phones.

    What elevates this set even further is the addition of the FanVision McLaren Mercedes accessory, a special fan device that delivered race related content directly to spectators during live events. FanVision units were used at racing venues to provide exclusive video, audio, timing data or team information that regular spectators could not access. Branded in the same McLaren Mercedes style, the accessory completes a racing oriented package that represents a moment in time when mobile phones, live motorsport data and fan engagement started merging into a single experience.

    Together, the phone and the FanVision device form a unique collectible that captures the feeling of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes era. The chrome look, the red team accents, the matching strap and the coordinated branding all reflect the style and energy of one of Formula 1’s most iconic sponsorship periods. As a combined set, it stands as a remarkable piece of racing culture and mobile history.

    Sharp GX25 Ferrari Edition: Scuderia Signature Model

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: Genuine Rosso Corsa finish with Scuderia shield applied at factory.

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: 0m | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2005 | 💰 Release Price: N/A

    📊 Units Sold: ~300k

    📰 Why this phone matters: This unit is a pristine Sharp GX25 Ferrari Edition, a rare licensed collaboration between Sharp and the Scuderia Ferrari brand at the height of Ferrari mania in the mid 2000s. Finished in true Rosso Corsa red and framed with metallic silver edges, the phone captures the visual identity of Ferrari with surprising authenticity. The front shell carries the iconic Scuderia shield placed precisely below the external display, a detail that separates genuine factory editions from aftermarket conversions.

    Built on the respected GX25 platform, this handset reflects Sharp’s reputation for exceptional screen quality and tight hardware engineering. The Ferrari variant was released only in select Vodafone markets, never distributed widely, and typically tied to restricted promotional runs. As a result, surviving examples are exceptionally scarce, and BNIB units like this one are almost unheard of today.

    Thanks to its protective films still intact, the phone shows zero external wear, preserving every original contour, lens surface, and paint transition exactly as delivered from the factory. Beyond the Ferrari branding, the GX25 remains a capable and stylish clamshell featuring a high resolution Sharp display, LED assisted camera, Java support, MMS, and the classic Vodafone Live interface. Together, the aesthetics, engineering, rarity, and condition make this Ferrari Edition one of the finest collectible Sharp releases of the era, representing the perfect fusion of Japanese mobile craftsmanship and Italian motorsport prestige

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 2004 | 💰 Release Price: ~150 $

    📊 Units Sold: ~3M

    📰 Why this phone matters: Siemens is not very strong in the clamshell phone segment, its first product, clamshell CL50 was accepted more than just cold by the consumers. The next product – CL55 did not even reach the market, this ODM-model was silently cancelled in the first quarter of year 2004. That’s why it was pretty useless to expect warm feedback from the consumers for the CF62 phone, it undeservedly lost attention by consumers who considered this phone another asian model. The irony is that this time Siemens had developed the model by itself and did it with their best traditions. After a long break Siemens introduced successful model, which has slipped out of consumer’s sight due to previous failures. I’d like to make a note here, that by saying successful model you should not expect maximal functionality, you will not find it here, but try looking for match of functions and segment – and you will find it, it is new generation of what Siemens M55 was for its time, by the way CF62 is the clone of this model.

    Sony Ericsson K660i CHEN: Lime White Prototype AP2

    💎 Rarity Index: S (Ultra Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: K660i was one of the most iconic mid-range 3G candybars from Sony Ericsson in 2008, notable for its color accents and web-focused features

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9.5/10

    Sony Ericsson Code Name: CHEN

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 2008 | 💰 Release Price: N/A

    📊 Units Sold: ~1M (final units)

    📰 Why this phone matters: This unit is a fully working Sony Ericsson K660i prototype built on the CHEN platform and finished in a striking lime and white color scheme that gives the phone a crisp, almost experimental aesthetic. The internal label confirms its origins: a prototype build AP2 from week 51 of 2007, carrying a prototype IMEI and the mandatory Prototype not for sale and Not Type Approved markings. The chassis and keypad display a pre-final finish, with the lime navigation bar and white keypad standing out as a rare color combination that may never have been intended for retail release.

    The device has the full layout of the final K660i, including the 5-way joystick, QVGA display, media keys and the iconic Sony Ericsson design language of the late 2000s. Yet, as a prototype, it represents a development milestone rather than a commercial product. The preproduction color tones, engineering batch identifiers and prototype hardware references capture the exact moment when Sony Ericsson was refining the K660i before mass production. A fully functional unit in this condition is especially rare, making it a prized collectible and an authentic piece of the brand’s engineering history.

    📅 Release Year: 2007 | 💰 Release Price: 130 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~1M

    📰 Why this phone matters: he Sony Ericsson P1 is a smartphone and the successor of the P990. It was the last of the Sony Ericsson “P” Smartphone series, introduced in 2002 with the Sony Ericsson P800 and it integrates many of the hardware features of its predecessor the P990 in the form factor of the M600. It was announced on 8 May 2007. There is a Chinese version of P1 called P1c. Compare with P1/ P1i, P1c lacks of 3G, thereby using EDGE which is much slower but more available especially in the US and parts of eur;ope.

    The phone uses the UIQ 3.0 software platform, which is based upon Symbian OS 9.1. It is slightly thicker than the M600 as a result of the new hardware features, but this is reportedly largely indiscernible. It is nonetheless considerably thinner than the P990 (25% smaller – as the official press review states).

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 2001 | 💰 Release Price: ~500 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~8M

    📰 Why this phone matters: The Ericsson T68m (often called simply T68) was a candy-bar style mobile phone by Ericsson Mobile Communications. Launched in time for the 2001 Christmas season, the T68 was the first Ericsson mobile phone to have a colour screen, a passive LCD-STN with a resolution of 101×80 and 256 colours. Despite its diminute size (3.94×1.89×0.79 in or 100x48x20 mm, 2.96 oz or 84 g), it was one of the most feature-rich mobile phones at the time, with Bluetooth, IrDA port, GPRS 3+1, tri-band compatibility (900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz), SMS with T9 (predictive text), EMS, WAP, and customizable monophonic ring tones. A simple bitmap image editor was provided, allowing the creation of monochrome pictures by guiding a cursor around the canvas and setting or unsetting individual pixels (several ‘brush’ sizes were selectable to make this easier). These images could be set as the phone’s background image in standby mode, and sent to owners of EMS-compliant phones. With EMS soon to be succeeded by the superior MMS, few owners made much use of this feature. At its release, the phone cost around &eur;o; 500, £299 in the UK, in either two-tone grey or all-gold.
