Vintage Ericsson GA628 GSM Mobile Phone – Boxed – Opened Never Used

Superb vintage Ericsson GA628 mobile phone, supplied in its original Ericsson box with a selection of original accessories, paperwork and packaging.

This example has been opened but never used and has clearly spent the vast majority of its life stored in the box.

The handset retains its striking blue interchangeable front/keypad panel, and the set also includes additional interchangeable coloured keypad/front inserts.

The original box label identifies the handset as:

Ericsson GA628 Handheld Phone Pack

Model/pack: DPY 101 898 R3B

Made in Sweden

Also included is the original Ericsson NiMH 4.8V 1000mAh battery, together with the accessories and paperwork shown in the photographs.

Particularly nice is the original Cellnet material and SIM card, giving the set a great period UK mobile-phone connection. Cellnet was one of the UK's original mobile networks and was later rebranded as BT Cellnet and subsequently O2.

The original multilingual Ericsson GA628 instruction manual is still sealed in its plastic wrapping.

Also present are the original Ericsson accessory literature, barcode/identification labels, Cellnet paperwork and the various items shown.

Condition:

Opened but never used.

Due to its age, the original NiMH battery has not been relied upon or guaranteed to hold a charge, regardless of the handset's unused condition. The phone is therefore being sold as a vintage collectable rather than for everyday mobile-phone use.

The outer box has some age/storage wear, as would be expected.

Please study all photographs carefully as they show the exact phone, packaging, paperwork and accessories included and form part of the description.
