Do you remember the Motorola Brick then, Baths?

I remember being in Hong Kong in 1989 on a short term project that eventually took me out there, staying in the Hilton Hotel (before it was knocked down in favour of the Bank of China). It was a Saturday morning and breakfast time, a Chinese young man (about 22-25) pulling out his brick to chatter away into it, not so much for the importance of the communication but to impress the four young ladies on the next table. The only problem that was as he was going 'blah blah blah, wing wong cha' into the phone, it began ringing - and rather loudly so.

there's some fantastic memes on Google for the 3310 - Armed Police using one as a battering ram. A 3310 bulletproof vest!

The other time was two years later, in the Grand Hyatt there, the café overlooking the harbour. The ex and I were munching away when this rather attractive girl came in to the restaurant, the entrance elevated above the main floor of the café. She was on the Nokia, blathering away, as she walked in.
Then it became obvious, her date was in the window and he too was on his Nokia - and that they were talking to each other......

Ah Stephen....yes, Motorola was my very first!

"Why is it still (slightly offensively) called a brick ...
When today's phones are getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger ... ?
Has everyone seen the completely ludicrous iPhone 6 and 6+ ??"
I think the new trend is to call some of them Phablets, JJ. Some of the Samsung Galaxy range are monsters too!
