Considering the original cell phones worked on analog signal and the analog
service will be gone very soon I guess not.
I actually have one -- an LCD one. Bought it on
eBay a few years ago. I
don't think it works now, but the battery just needs replacing.
I was wondering about the 5-function LED version that went for less
than $20.
I've still got a National Semiconductor LCD watch, but the guts are
rotted out from perspiration leaking into the case. On the other
hand, the Seiko self-winder I purchased the year before still works
just fine.
I sometimes wonder if we'll have any operating 30-year old cell
phones?
