Ericsson T65

Year: 2001
Prototype level: Non-Final
Codename: Pink

Overview

The Ericsson T65 was introduced in 2001 as a compact GPRS phone aimed at bringing mobile internet and personalisation features to a wider audience. It featured an integrated antenna, a large monochrome display, WAP and GPRS connectivity, and Ericsson’s characteristic compact design.

The specimen in this collection is a non-final version with several visible differences from the production T65. The front cover is unfinished and completely unpainted black, with “T65” printed at the bottom. The keypad has none of the coloured elements found on the final phone, while the middle cover of the handset is dark blue. The display window is also different from the one used on the commercial version.
