AEG HT911 (1997)

It used the full-size gsm card (the one as large as a credit card). Got it second-hand in ~2003, brought from Spain; the battery was on its end of life.. and it was locked-in with Orange service provider (that's not legal anymore in EU).

I had a Motorola bag phone sometime around 1994 or 1995. Sorry I don't have any photos and I don't remember the specific model. Google "bag phone" to see what these looked like.

Here's a wikipedia page about them.

The Motorola bag phone is the colloquial name for a line of personal transportable cellular telephones manufactured by Motorola, inc. from 1988 to 2000.

Had an old Nokia brick but it had blank face plate inserts so you could design your own face plate front and back. After that I got a Razr.
