Nokia 720 (NMT-450)
Unkillable "nuclear suitcase."
Legend "dashing nineties."
Almost the same “suitcase with a pipe”, more authentic than its only trunking communication devices and RusAltai blocks.
Previously stood in the car of some cool guys, thanks to his careful handling, the device is in very good condition. It’s hard to find props better for films about nuclear missiles, spies and satellite communications with the president.
Under the cut a few photos and a story about this phone.

Analog mobile phone, more precisely, “portable subscriber radio station of NMT-450 standard ”. It was used in the network of the MSS operator (Moscow Cellular Communications) , which was widely known in the advertisement of the Federal Network SOTEL.
There are no SIM cards, the number is hard programmed on the network. SMS is not supported. At all. Voice mail by means of the operator worked "with a bang." "Phonebook" is a memory for several speed dial numbers without searching and familiar navigation.
Excellent reception quality was provided by a 7W transmitter (compare with the power of GSM devices, which rarely reach one watt). Sure work at the maximum distance from the base station and unsurpassed battery life from on-board batteries - NiMH-battery with a capacity of 1700mAh and weighing more than 500 grams squeezed out up to 7 days. This device is designed to provide communication in all circumstances, and he always succeeded.
Charging is connected directly to the battery, but it is also possible to the phone - it has an external power input for connecting to the vehicle’s electrical system or another source.
The wired telephone line adapter allowed this device to emulate a PBX and call through it at least with a modem, at least with a fax, even with an ordinary wired telephone. Distant woodland, stump, on it is an ordinary telephone set with a handset, the wire from which goes to the line connector on the hidden Nokia 720. We pick up the handset. A second later, you hear the so familiar beep. You can dial the number.
They say that now there are no longer any existing networks of this standard - the analog protocol NMT-450 has quietly died even in the regions of Russia. There is no longer that range, nor that autonomy, nor that power. Do not find more than the mystery, mystery, prestige, which gave this machine to its owner. Quality was a legend. Real Made In Finland.
The past is irrevocably gone, but this unit will live. He saw and not like that. This is one of those devices, which began cellular communication as a phenomenon. One of the best devices. It is not his trouble that the standard is no longer maintained, and all the successors did not inherit his best qualities. They will remain in the price.
UPD.
Who can tell if NMT-450 networks are preserved in which region?
They asked this question at netmonitor'e, it seems that there the guys went somewhere supposedly to catch, but never saw the report of that trip.
UPD2.
Curb weight with battery - 1500 grams. The bottom of the device is a ribbed metal radiator.
Year of release - 1996.
