Ericsson GH 174
Quick ViewEvaluation in my collection: Very good – 8.5/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: YES
Release Year: 1992 | Release Price: ~300 EUR
About: 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 Europe, 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 ViewWOW Factor: The most compact satellite phone
Evaluation in my collection: New – 10/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: YES – SWAP
Release Year: 1999 | Release Price: N/A
About: The Ericsson R290 is a combined GSM and satellite phone using the Globalstar satellite network. The R290 was introduced in June 1999[3] 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.

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).[2] 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 T28s
Quick ViewWOW Factor: The lightest handset on the market in 1999
Evaluation in my collection: Great 9.8/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: NO
Release Year: 1999 | Release Price: N/A
About: The 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.
