The very first slider?

So, imagine the distant 1997:

• Bill Clinton took office as president of the United States for a second term;
• sales of first DVDs and players started in the USA;
• Intel has officially unveiled the Pentium II microprocessor;
• Yandex.Ru search engine was announced ...

... and many other events that are not very interesting.
Careful traffic!

Sony has released a phone CM-DX1000

And if you look at it all from the point of view of philosophy, then it can be attributed to the progenitors of all the sliders.
So, here he is - handsome! Rarity!

It makes no sense to bother with the technical characteristics, so I’ll briefly highlight the main points.

The communication standard is GSM 900. My old Kyivstar card is still working on this device without any problems.

By the way, regarding the location of the SIM: the SIM compartment is located on the top of the phone, which does not cause the need to remove the battery:


Another plus usability (IMHO) - stand-charging. During the charge process, the LED shines red, and after charging is finished, it turns green. Charging duration is about 2 hours.

Well, since we are talking about time, then:
Standby time stated by the manufacturer - up to 70 hours; talk time: up to 10 hours. This is provided by the battery capacity ( ! ) 1350 mAh Li-Ion. I got it used b / y 6 years ago, then he successfully held a charge for 2 days. Now is the day.
If you remove the cover and get the battery, you can see the following picture:


On the left inside the case you can see the retractable (manually) antenna, which, in the extended state, doubles the length of the phone.
By the way, about the size.
Phone dimensions : dimensions - 150 x 45 x 32 mm; weight - 235 grams (without battery).

The screen is graphical, contains 4 lines of 16 characters each.

The right upper button is programmed to quickly call one of any subscriber from the address book.

Here is a rarity working. The roads are like a memory - the first tube. And still working ...

And at the very end - the most interesting. For those who do not know. You ask - where is the slider? And I will answer: the speaker leaves half of its size up. A kind of hardware keypad lock (as evidenced by the image of the handset with the key at the top of the center of the screen) and automatic handset pick-up for incoming calls.


PS In good hands I will not give it - I need it myself!

PPS Sorry for the quality of photos - fotik is also rare;)
