Brick Phone

Description

My mum was just about to throw this phone out... not a chance! I would guess this model is pretty old - I haven't seen a phone with GSM printed on the front of it for a long time. Its an OEM vodafone model with nice graphic black and white LCD (could be put to good use someday).

The battery was a string of prismatic NiMH batteries sandwiched together - not like the modern lithium cells.

The Images

Just so you know what this thing was The battery removed showing the simcard The screws were drilled out - they had corroded so bad that a screwdriver simply
					tore the heads up. Woops, bad flash! A better view of the front The LCD holder simply unfolds off the main board. Simple clips to hold the mainboard shielding on. Another view of the holding clips The bottom shielding is removed The top shielding is removed The keypad connectors and membrane The controller board of the LCD The unfoldeded LCD controller. The rear of the LCD and controller board. Some sortof tuned choke or other RF part. mmm.. shiny
