Nostalgia never fails: Brick cellies becoming retro-cool

Motorola Traveller

You knew it was only a matter of time until those damned hipsters figured out way to transform those Eighties brick cellphones from annoying obsolescence to retro-cool, with "collectors" now paying top dollar (well, according to the Guardian, top pound) for old cellphones that just a few years ago would have gotten you laughed at in public if you had been caught using one. Dig through your closets, because apparently a Motorola Traveller in mint condition will fetch you up to £500, and even some of those old Dynatecs will bring in as much as £100 (if the N-Gage ever ends up a collector's item we're going to be very, very peeved).
