I remember having one of these bad boys. I think it was one of the first digital phones out there. Also it had interchangeable fascia.

I had something like this back in 98, with 128mgbt HD. The mutts nits in its day.

They certainly have shrunk over the years.

I remember when I was in university, a friend of mine who owned a TRS 80 worked for two month during his summer break to buy one of this 10MB drive

I remember when 10Mb drives were the size of a large washing machine (showing my age there, despite what the Belgian retard thinks).

I didn't own a laptop until about 2005, a Dell Inspiron 80gb HD and 1gb RAM, was about £500, so it's pretty amazing to see that just 7 years previous, 5gb HD and 45mb RAM was £4,300. I know about Moore's law of course, but that period '98-'05 must have shown a greater than average development in capacity/cost.

In the early 80's, I used to work as an intern for STC, later Storage Tek. Things have changed a lot since ...

I remember specifically an old IT manager when the first PC arrived in his company, a big bank centre. He was scared of the implications. I remember him saying "but users will be able to do what ever they want, it's going to be the anarchy ..."

Arguably one of the best phones Nokia made, in terms of size, features, and as you say, indestructibility. A lot of phones at that time were still like bricks.
