Second Motorola is the first one that I had. We can remember Gwen carrying the battery for me on Piccadilly Station when I was meeting someone off the London Train.
Reception was so hit and miss that I had to carry two different firm's pagers with me in an attempt to cover the deadspots, and a police radio in the car.
When we first moved in this house there was no landline so they put a radio in the bedroom until BT got their finger out.

Top trumps time....

I have a WORKING Nokia 8146.................

The original slide-front "banana" phone as seen in The Matrix.

And I believe it's compatible (connection-wise) with the 3110 Audi cradle (or cables)!

I used the former myself in the late 80s. The company I worked for at the time bought one for the engineers to share so that when we thought we'd finished for the day and we were on our way home, they could call us and ask us to go to another job. Thankfully however, reception was never great on those phones, especially when you unscrewed the aerial mid-call


Funny to think, back then, this just seemed impossibly futuristic: http://i.imgur.com/qRkaP4Y.jpg
The second one, in fact mine looks identical to that one and was fully working when stored away lol, I've even got the "carrying case"

Ta, Pete.
My old A8 (1999) was sadly missing the telephone but my A8L (2000) has the telephone and slip-slide cradle jobby. I'm sure it's a slim battery and original too as it's date stamped.

I've just seen this link going for 250 euros! Yikes.

I have no need for it as my car telephone (Galaxy S3) now sits in a Brodit holder on a £5 a month contract. The original Audi/Nokia 3110 with red LEDs in my car is 'only dual band so I was forced to use either Voodoofone or O2 and my £10 credit always got swallowed up due to non-use (if I can summon up the enthusiasm, I'll go down to the car park and grab a photo of it)

If you're interested, send me a private message.

Default Connector on bottom of 'phone

Being a complete pedant, I couldn't resist the opportunity of taking a photo of the bottom connector block on the Audi Nokia 3110. This may help if you decide to go for the 'Matrix' option mentioned by HPsauce earlier in the thread.

Is that the one they used? I always thought the phones in The Matrix were based on the 7110.

I think it was a cross breed of a 7110 mated with the slidey out bit from the 8146, made specifically for the film if I remember correctly.?

The problem/limitation, as I discovered, is that the in-car aerial/amplifier is (or was on mine) only single-band 900MHz whereas that phone is 1800Mhz NOT dual-band.
