Ericsson GH 174
Quick View💎 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
Quick View💎 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.

Nokia 7250i James Brown Edition BNIB
Quick View💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)
👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10
🕵 Nokia Codename: James
⏱ Life timer: 0m | 📦 Boxed: YES
📅 Release Year: 2003 | 💰 Release Price: ~450 $
📊 Units Sold: ~12M
📰 Why this phone matters: Nokia 7250i Brown Edition NHL-4JX, codename James, is one of those devices that shows exactly why early 2000s Nokia was untouchable in phone design.The 7250i itself was launched in 2003 as an upgraded version of the 7250, keeping the wild, sculpted candybar body but hiding a better camera and a more advanced XHTML browser inside. It was part of Nokia’s fashion line, a hero product that mixed technology and style at a time when an integrated camera was still a futuristic feature.
This unit takes that story further. Finished in the ultra rare brown metallic shell, it looks completely different from the usual blue and plum variants. The front mixes a warm brown body with dark framing and a dramatic three piece keypad layout that flows up into the navigation cluster. It is unmistakably a fashion phone, and in this color it is almost never seen, especially BNIB.
Behind the design sits the NHL-4JX platform: a tri band GSM engine with Series 40 1st Edition software, CSTN 4096 color display and a CIF camera tuned for the 128 x 128 screen. The camera supports night mode and digital zoom, letting early adopters capture and send MMS pictures long before camera phones became standard. GPRS and HSCSD handle data, while the stereo FM radio, Java games and Nokia’s Pop-Port ecosystem turn the phone into a compact entertainment device.
The label confirms everything a collector wants to see: Model 7250i, Type NHL-4JX, product code 0511226, IMEI in the correct 351460 range, FCC ID PYANHL-4J, IC 661V-NHL4J, CE168 and Made in Hungary, one of Nokia’s most respected factories. In other words, a fully authentic, correctly configured eur;opean market 7250i in one of the rarest official colors.
This unit is BNIB in the collection, which is extremely unusual for a 2003 fashion device that was meant to be used hard and shown off. Most surviving 7250i phones are worn, repainted or rebuilt; finding an original brown example that has effectively never entered daily service is a serious trophy for any Nokia or fashion phone collector.
