What was the other small one that came later on that had a blue backlight? Sure the phone came in Purple and funny colours. Loved that.
Just remembered, 6510

8210 was a great little phone.
3310/30 range was un-destructable. Dropped in tomato soup, no worries, wash under tap, stick in warm place for a few days. Sorted, phone works
Although the 8210 was good, it was about 3-4 years behind this bad boy. Loved it as it was so small at the time. I actually had the model before the T28, but can't remember the name.
So, who's REALLY old. Whe remembers using those brick phones, with a Mercury/121 chip card. Friend had a free weekends + free weekday sims. Used to swap the credit card sized sim's over, was worth a bloody fortune at the time.
Simple was better

I had the Philips Diga as my first phone. About same era as the C12, as I recall.
Came with optional keyboard cover and 3 different colours for the antenna ring.

I had a C12, thought it was so cool at the time because it had a clock seem to remember it had some weird fortune teller game on it too.
Had a Diga before that, pretty sure that was a full credit card size Cellnet sim.

Was like the first proper "small" phone.
Utterly awful for texting. In fact texting was still a thing not used often.
To save money, we used to type in the long number, go into our voicemails, leave a voicemail, hangup. Then the gf would go in an listen, and do the same.
Fucking cheapo's at 16

Yeah, Diga was '97, Savvy (C12) was '99.
Those SIM cards were insane.

The credit was actually stored on the C12, hence the chipping. So cool

I think it might've actually Mine was a motorola, iirc it couldn't even text, but back then texting wasn't what it became.
My first mobile device was actually a pager Only did numbers too, used to cost a fortune to page it lol

Now that I think about it, back in the 90's texting was free over here. Nobody used it anyway.
When more young people started getting phones in the late 90's, providers started charging for texts. £1 bought around 5-6 texts.
