Al Massey Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You do know they only made the flip bit for the film and wasnt available commercially. To get the look you need the aftersales cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the look you need the aftersales cover errr i think you are mistaken as i've had one in the past and broke the side bit, so i had to press the button for the slide to eject then pust the green button to answer, it lost its coolness after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Be wary i went through 3 or 4 in 1 year. Severe design fault makes the flip mechanism brake in about 3 months. Hence nokia discontinued that design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 The green one wasnt the one used in the film actually. They used the one in the link below. The slide mechanism isnt automatic though, that was something added into the film. I do have one laying around in a drawer actually http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nokia-8110-Mobile-Phone-Banana-Matrix-Phone-Great-Cond_W0QQitemZ320340120358QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones?hash=item320340120358&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaing Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I had 2 8110 banana phones back in the day and was the best phone i ever had! I love the way the phone looks. I wish i could get one with all the mordern features but in that shell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 we have two of those banana phones in the house somewhere, the battery was horrendous as it wouldn't last more than a day or two but back in the day it was the first truly small, fashionable mobile phone. I remember my friend having an orange pay-as-you-go back in 1999 and it actually had four nicad AA's in the back of it! weighed a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
