    Sony CMD-Z1 Plus: Rare Complete Set, Mint Working Condition

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: A jog dial, aircraft-style mic extension, extend-to-answer mechanism, and precision mechanics made it one of the most futuristic GSM phones of the 90s.

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: As New – 9.5/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 1999 | 💰 Release Price: 1200 DM

    📊 Units Sold: ~300k (base model Z1 family)

    📰 Why this phone matters: A beautifully preserved Sony CMD-Z1 Plus, one of Sony’s most iconic pre-Sony Ericsson GSM phones, presented here in full box with all original accessories – a rarity even among seasoned collectors.
    Manufactured in France, this model represents the peak of Sony’s mid-90s mobile engineering before the joint-venture era.

    The CMD-Z1 Plus stood out in its time for its elegant curves, premium materials, and Sony’s distinctive Jog Dial interface, which gave it a futuristic one-handed navigation system years ahead of competing brands. Another signature touch of this model is its extendable stick-style microphone, a precision sliding module that not only enhanced voice pickup but also acted as a control mechanism: extending the mic answered a call, and retracting it ended the call. This mechanical interaction became one of the most memorable and stylish features of Sony’s early GSM lineup.

    The minimalist, industrial Sony aesthetic of the late 90s is captured perfectly in this device: compact, robust, and unmistakably high-end. Your unit’s complete condition – original packaging, matching accessories, fully functional handset, and intact label – places it among the top-tier collectible examples of the model, especially as most surviving units are worn or incomplete.

    The “Plus” variant refined the original CMD-Z1 with software improvements, enhanced memory handling, and a smoother UI, making it the more desirable version of the lineup.

    Sony CMD-Z5

    💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: Great – 9/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES

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

    📊 Units Sold: ~500k

    📰 Why this phone matters: ake the cute-as-a-button Sony CMD-Z5, for example. Released in 2000 at a time when the idea of a phone having a colour screen was the stuff of a madman’s dreams, this sleek and pocket-sized blower looked truly amazing; it was a desirable piece of tech which could fit snugly in the palm of your hand.

    Sure, the 96×72 pixel monochrome screen looks crude by modern standards, but at the time it was pin-sharp compared to the competition, and was even capable of hosting some decent games thanks to the inclusion of Sony’s unique ‘Jog-Dial’ wheel on the side of the phone; we spent many a happy bus trip playing the bundled fishing and clay pigeon shooting games. The Jog-Dial could also be used to navigate the phone’s carousel-style menu system.

    Released just before Sony joined forces with communications giant Ericsson to create the Sony Ericsson brand, the CMD-Z5 – and its successor, the Z7 – have all the hallmarks of phones designed to fulfil a singular purpose, rather than cater for a wide range of functions.
