View all the objects in the chart(s): 12 classic sony designs
This is the exact opposite of an iPhone, a device with beautiful buttons and no screen. The CM R111 represents an evolutionary dead end in cellphone design, but a beautiful one. While Nokia were perfecting the chocolate bar style and Motorola were introducing the clamshell, Sony went against the grain and developed a phone which used styling from their high end radio gear to produce something which looked more like a walkie talkie than a cellphone.

    They did make a version of this with a screen, a smaller antenna, and a blackberry-like click wheel. I had it on Sprint service, and LOVED it!

    I sell it.
