For a dose of nostalgia or for those interested in the evolution of mobile phone tech, take a look at this collection:

Mobile Phone Museum

It currently has 2,000+ unique models and is always looking for donations.

Do you have a very old mobile phone? Will you show it to us?

Please be careful not to show any personal identifying information in your photos, such as your face.

I see "The Matrix" banana phone in there that, of course, never operated like it did in the movie.

My wife wont let me collect stuff like that - if she see's it's not being used it  gets binned. Very annoying as some decent stuff has gone over the years. One of our early ones was my favourite - Sony - CM-H333 | Mobile Phone Museum but it got binned

Can't you tell her not too throw things away especially if they are portentially valuable and belong to you?

I'm sure she wouldn't like it if you just started throwing her things away.

This was my first mobile phone (1998, IIRC) it was brilliant because if the battery ran flat you could just replace the rechargeable battery with 4 x AAs!

They all look positively modern, must dig out my Philips PH301 that took a full size SIM card as in full credit card size.
