    LG KG920

    💎 Rarity Index: B (Uncommon)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: It delivered a 5-megapixel Schneider-Kreuznach camera in 2006 – beating most competitors by years.

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: As New – 9.7/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2006 | 💰 Release Price: 450 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~500k

    📰 Why this phone matters: The LG KG920 is one of the most daring and visionary camera phones ever released – a 2006 flagship that pushed boundaries years ahead of its time. With its 5-megapixel Schneider-Kreuznach camera, true xenon flash, and twist-rotating body, it belonged to a tiny elite family of experimental devices like the Nokia 3250 and Nokia 5700, yet it went even further by transforming into a full horizontal digital camera in one smooth motion.

    This was not just a phone with a camera – it was a camera that happened to be a phone.

    The twist mechanism instantly reconfigured the device into a proper photography grip, something no mainstream device dared to replicate again. Combined with its premium build and Korea-exclusive engineering, the KG920 stood at the intersection of digital imaging and mobile design in a way that feels almost unbelievable today.

    Launched in 2006 at a premium price of roughly &eur;o;450-&eur;o;500, it was heavily reviewed and praised for producing some of the cleanest, sharpest images of its generation. Today it remains vastly underrated, overshadowed by later icons, yet historically more important – it reached the 5 MP milestone before many of the industry’s giants and showcased a design concept that has never been revisited.

    Your unit captures this legacy perfectly: a rare, twist-based camera phone from the golden era, preserved from a time when manufacturers dared to innovate radically.

    A hybrid of digital camera ambition and bold mechanical engineering – the LG KG920 is a striking, unforgettable piece of mobile history.

    Mitsubishi Trium MT-250 Neptune Blue: Sealed Clamshell

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: The Neptune blue variant is likely one of the most visually striking finishes

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB SEALED – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2001 | 💰 Release Price: n/a

    📊 Units Sold: ~200k

    📰 Why this phone matters: This unit is a sealed Trium MT-250 Neptune blue, preserved exactly as Mitsubishi shipped it during the final years of the Trium mobile era. Still wrapped in its original factory shrink, the box presents a classic early 2000s clamshell design with a translucent blue flip and a frosted keypad housing that defined the playful aesthetic of Trium handsets. The packaging shows the simple monochrome display with the Trium logo, underlining the minimalistic UI that characterized Mitsubishi’s compact GSM range.

    The side label confirms the exact variant: MT-250 Neptune blue with a Mitsubishi retail IMEI, CE0165 certification and an unbroken production batch code. Very little documentation exists for the MT-250 today, making this sealed example exceptionally rare. As Trium devices vanished from the market long before smartphones took over, complete unopened units almost never survived. This one stands as a pure, untouched snapshot of Mitsubishi’s design language, a lightweight clamshell aimed at style-focused users of its time. For collectors, it is a highly uncommon BNIB relic from a manufacturer whose mobile legacy has become increasingly scarce and desirable.

    Motorla 3200 International

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: The first Motorola portable GSM

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: 0 | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 1992 | 💰 Release Price: ~750 £

    📊 Units Sold: ~2M

    📰 Why this phone matters: The Motorola International 3200 was the first digital hand-held mobile telephone introduced in 1992, along with the more compact 5200, 5080, 7200 and 7500 “flip phones” introduced in 1994. It was preceded by the International 1000 and 2000 GSM phones, quite big (small portable suitcase), and although being the first GSM portable phones, they were not GSM certified, therefore couldn’t be officially connected to the network (first to be certified was Orbitel TPU 900).

    The International 3200 was designed to substitute the phones using the original analog cell technology developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s and first commercially available in 1983. Because of the 3200’s GSM technology, units still operates on any current 900 MHz GSM networks operating to this day (not with 3G SIM’s).

    Motorola E18 Ivory Unreleased Prototype: The Lost Luxury

    💎 Rarity Index: X (Mystical Prototype)

    Ultra expensive luxury phone after Aura

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: 9/10 – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: N/A | 📦 Boxed: NO

    📅 Release Year: 2008 | 💰 Release Price: ~2000

    📊 Units Sold: 0 unreleased

    📰 Why this phone matters: The Motorola E18 Ivory is one of the rarest and most intriguing unreleased devices ever created by Motorola. Designed as a luxury slider phone with high-end materials and a unique dual-stop sliding mechanism, the E18 represented a bold and experimental direction that Motorola never brought to market. This prototype was intended to compete in the ultra-premium segment, with the stainless steel production version carrying a projected retail price of around 2000 eur;, placing it far above standard Motorola models of the era.

    This unit is an Ivory prototype in mint, as new, fully working condition, making it an exceptionally rare survivor. Very few E18 units were ever completed, and prototypes were typically scrapped, destroyed, or left non-functional. Having a working device in such preserved condition is considered unicorn-level rarity among Motorola collectors.

    The defining feature of the E18 is its dual-stop slider mechanism. The first sliding step reveals a set of function keys, while the second sliding step exposes the complete T9 keypad. This layered mechanical design is unlike any mass-produced Motorola phone and reflects a level of engineering experimentation seen only in internal development devices. The combination of compact size, premium detailing, and complex mechanical motion makes the E18 one of the most innovative unreleased designs Motorola ever attempted.

    Equipped with a 3 MP camera, premium external materials, and a sleek luxury aesthetic, the E18 Ivory was planned as a flagship device aimed at high-end buyers. Its design blends minimalist clean lines, luxury cues, and an advanced sliding system that offers a distinct tactile experience. The overall look and feel suggest that Motorola intended the E18 to stand alongside boutique luxury brands rather than mainstream consumer models.

    Because the E18 project was cancelled before launch, surviving prototypes are extremely scarce. Most did not reach a stable operational state or were never finished to production quality. A mint, fully operational Ivory prototype is almost impossible to find, and it represents one of the most important pre-production artifacts in Motorola’s history. This device stands as a rare window into a luxury direction the company never pursued, making it a true collector trophy and a highlight in any high-end mobile phone collection.

  • Motorola F3

    Motorola F3

    💎 Rarity Index: C (Common)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: The first mobile phone to use electronic paper in its screen

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: 0m | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2006 | 💰 Release Price: ~20 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~6M

    📰 Why this phone matters: The F3 (frequently known as the Motofone) was a GSM phone available in two band variants, and was released on 28 November 2006.
    The Motofone F3 was designed to appeal to the low-end market and developing countries, and was thus less functional, but also less expensive than most phones. Motorola made it appealing to developing markets and people with reading and visual difficulties by using only simple symbols and using speech synthesis to identify tasks in the menu.
    The F3 was the first mobile phone to use electronic paper in its screen. Motorola used the term ClearVision to describe the new display, which was manufactured using E Ink’s electrophoretic imaging film. The electronic paper main display allowed for the phone’s thinness (no glass), longer battery life, and outdoor viewability (paper-like reflectivity). It had a backlight for the keypad and a slit that projects the backlight onto the screen so the display can be seen in darkness.

    The characteristics of the display were fairly restrictive. The text display contained only two lines of six characters each, making the use of text messaging (SMS) and data services less practical than on standard LCD displays. The display used a fixed ‘digital clock’ style font, with no functionality for changing between upper case and lower case text. All SMSs sent by the F3 were received entirely in lower case, and each character of any SMS received by the F3 is displayed in whichever case made the most sense using the font. Also, the non-alphabetic characters were severely limited due to this display, as the phone could only provide support for the following characters:

    Comma (,) (periods . in incoming text messages are displayed as commas)
    Hyphen (-)
    Question mark (?)
    At-sign (@)
    Asterisk (*)
    (+), to write this character, hold down the 0 key
    No other non-alphanumeric characters could be entered, and on receiving an SMS any non-alphabetic character not listed above was displayed as a hyphen.

    Although the display could be restrictive when it came to text applications, the display was very energy efficient and conducive to extremely long battery life.
