**SOLD**: Motorola T720

SOLD!!!


Lelong lelong...Clamshell phone with antenna - the Motorola T720! Featuring a 4096 color screen, polyphonic ringtones, and ringtone composer.

I think this was bought sometime in '03. The phone is durable and works great - buttons and both color and status screens have no issues, and the battery lasts almost a day on a single charge. There are 2 noticeable small dings and a couple of hairline scratches on the back of the housing, but the front and the inside of the clamshell are mint.

Unfortunately I don't have the box or receipt anymore, so this comes with just the original charger, battery and warranty card. Cheap and good spare phone or a decent collectors' item.

**SOLD**: Game Boy Advance (White)

SOLD!!!


Another Game Boy unit up for sale! This is the Game Boy Advance in white. I can't remember when I bought this..possibly around '04? In any case, unlike the older Game Boy and Game Boy Color systems, the vast majority of GBAs were made in China.

The unit isn't in good condition, even though it works. There's some discoloration on the housing (e.g. above the screen), there's visible LCD bleed even when the unit is switched off, and the cartridge contacts are about as finicky as those on the Famicom / NES systems. All the buttons and switches work fine, and color rendering of games appear to be accurate.

Comes with the box set, as well as a padded carry pouch, clear purple plastic casing, white screen cover attachment (has its own white LED, powered with 1 AAA batt), bendable "snake" LED light attachment, and an original game cartridge of Lady Sia (English). 

p.s. I'm also giving 2 fl*sh carts for free with purchase of the GBA - one has Super Monaco GP2 (English), and the other has Kirby (English). These work on the GBA SP, and possibly the NDS or DS lite. The fl*sh kit for them is hidden somewhere and I'm trying to find it and test it. If that works, it'll be included for free in the bundle as well.

**SOLD**: Sony Ericsson K330

SOLD!!!


The Sony Ericsson K330 is a small, thin and lightweight basic mobile phone equipped with a VGA camera and 65K colors screen. Features include loudspeaker for calls, video capture (although with terrible quality) and FM radio.

Bought around '09, so the K330 is relatively young. This was also my mom's phone - same mostly-standby-mode-pouch-protected situation - and therefore in pristine condition with no visible scratches or dings. Screen and buttons function well, and battery life is good, with about 3 days' worth of juice from a single full charge. However, the phone suffers from a common problem of Sony Ericsson phones (before USB charging was available): a slightly loose connector of the charging cable when plugged into the phone's charging port. As long as the phone isn't shifted during charging, it won't be disconnected abruptly.

Comes in the full box set with earpiece. Good as a spare phone.

**SOLD**: Nokia 2100

SOLD!!!


Here's another monochrome Nokia phone - the Nokia 2100.

This is another lightweight mobile phone, with white backlight for the LCD screen and ringtone composer. The back of the housing (where it reads "Nokia 2100" in blue) actually works as a photo frame, where you can customise the look of the phone. There are a few hairline scratches on the housing (mostly at the back), and the paint on the power button at the top is slightly worn off, but the phone works fine. The battery does not have any signs of bloat.

Comes only with a battery and desktop charger (i.e. original Nokia charger + cradle for charging phone and / or an extra batt at the same time), because I don't have the box anymore. Good as a back-up phone or collectors' item.

**SOLD**: Sony Ericsson T230

SOLD!!!


Purchased with Singtel (Hello! shop) in '04, the Sony Ericsson T230 is a lightweight non-camera phone with a 4096-color LCD screen. Comes with everything in the box set, except the earpiece (for hygiene reasons).

The phone housing has many small dings and scratches, but do not affect the phone's functions. The unit works well - screen still looks great and bright, and all buttons are perfectly responsive. WAP can be used to download your own customised wallpapers (e.g. draw with MS Paint, upload to server of your choice, and d/l to phone). I'd used this as a back-up phone when overseas, until about 2 years ago, when I bought the Alcatel dual-SIM phone. Besides being a great 2nd phone, it's also a good fuss-free phone for first-time mobile users.

**SOLD**: Olympus MJU II

SOLD!!!


Calling all 35 mm film photography hobbyists!

Easily the best selling rangefinder from Olympus - the Olympus MJU II is up for grabs. The elegantly designed, all weather, 35 mm f/2.8 camera was bought around '98. It is under-used but in good condition. 

Parts were made in Japan and assembled in China. Aesthetically, there are no visible scratches or dings (never been dropped or bumped), but there are a few black stains on the housing (e.g. near the "all weather" blue sticker) due to the pouch material sticking to the camera body over time. These do not interfere with the camera's mechanism, and should be removable with a mild solvent. Internally, there are no visible lens or viewfinder issues.

Comes with only the original neck strap, velvet black camera pouch and the user guide, as I no longer have the box.

**SOLD**: Palm M125

SOLD!!!



Before there were smartphones, there was the PDA. Here's the Palm M125, from around '02 or '03. Memory onboard is 8 Mb but is expandable via an SD card slot. Only 2 AAA batteries are needed to power up the PDA. There are visible scratches on the see-through panel of the flip cover, as well as some screen rot / discoloration near the base of the display. Rust can be seen on the screws on the unit, even though it has not been exposed to water. The screen's touch sensitivity remains good, and all buttons are working fine.

Comes as a complete box set with unfilled warranty card, but not that it matters. This is more like a toy for hobbyists and collectors.

**SOLD**: Nokia 5110

SOLD!!!



A blast from the past! This is the Nokia 5110, from a long, long time ago...more than 10 years old. Bought with M1 plan back in '98 or '99, when handphones were awfully bulky, but built to last.

Comes as a complete box set with the following extras: 2 housings and 1 rubber keypad. Aside from fine hairline scratches on the back of the batt and screen, and slightly faded red paint on the switch button, the handphone is in pristine condition and a functional collectors' item. I am not sure how long the batt lasts, but it is definitely chargeable - it took about 3h to charge from 1 bar to full when I tested it.

Screen clarity is good and all buttons are tactile and responsive. Now you can try to beat your own highscore at Snake again with it, in old school style.
