New Year clear out: Benetton Minicall

I'm doing a MASSIVE clear out of years of stuff that I have accumulated - in particular all of the boxes that have been sitting up in the attic that have never been opened in the past few years.

I took every single box down from the attic and am currently going through them all and to be honest am throwing out a lot of stuff.

One of the things I found was my first mobile phone from 2003!  

Here it is:



I loved this dinky little Nokia :-) 

So this is something that I really should be throwing out but to be honest I don't have the heart to at the moment.  I put it in a box along with another of my old mobile phones (htc) and my minicall pager (remember those?!)
You would have to wonder why I can't bin the above.....I'm not quite sure but perhaps in regards to the minicall it is due to both the age of it and also the rarity - I can't really find a whole lot of info online about the Benetton designed minicalls for Motorola but I think mine is from about 1997.  If you know anything about them, please let me know.

And now I'm going back to sorting out the massive mountain of old papers that I found in a box in the attic :-(
