A few years ago I won a auction for 1 cent for 3 brand new motorola RAZRS. I was the only one that placed a bid :)

[@OdinTheSlightFelon]

Did you get the phones

[@JoeyM1991]

@OdinTheAbsoluteLegend yes I got them. 😃👍.

The LG shine CU720 was the phone that inspired me to start collecting old phones I still have it

[@carl-kristjanlepasaar5260]

The old Nokia you have there uses Nickel-Cadmium batteries, which are not very efficient. Same goes for the Motorola Microtech. To get it working, find some power cells; I recommend 18650 or something similar. Disassemble the battery housing, clean it thoroughly, and simply rebuild the battery. A useful tip is to add a modern charging port directly into the battery housing, so you don't need the original chargers. If it's not too corroded reuse the original BCM from the old battery cells. These phones operate on 3.5 volts of power. They will power on, as I have tried and done this myself many times. Since the original battery is quite large, you can do this very easily. It does require some soldering and minor knowledge, which you seem to have anyway.

[@LiamDoesTech]

thank you a lot for the tip! ill definitely have to try this. i think i can get it done! i appreciate it!

[@darrenhanson3875]

Thanx for making a old guy feel even older 😉 When you got to that startac and sweated it like you just found a dinosaur bone.........Daaaaaaang that stung a bit!😂 I'll live! I remember when the brick phone was brand new. Scratch that. I remember when the lunch box phone was new. 😮 Before that all cell phones were true car phones. Because they wouldn't come out of the car. There was a headset up front on a stand usa between the driver and passenger. Then the brain the size of like a 200w radio amp was in the trunk with cruelly antenna ither permanently mounted on like through the trunk lid er glass mounted on one of the back windows.

[@LiamDoesTech]

ahahah it wasnt on purpose!! honestly im in love with old tech. its crazy how far we have come in terms of cellphone tech. i have an old mercedese handheld flip phone in my collection, definitely unique! thank you for the story, i definitely enjoyed reading!

[@ivorheadache]

My uncle had the original car mobile... looked like a field medic walking the streets..... mental size.

[@OfficialTindergate]

That motorola phone was my first cell phone phone ever. I was 14 years old. It was a beast, indestructible.

[@Smudge-1993]

Awesome video! I've just bought a mystery box deal myself, and looking forward to seeing what I get! Keep up the great work! Got yourself another subscriber! ❤ from the UK 🇬🇧

[@LiamDoesTech]

thanks a lot! good luck with the mystery box, and i appreciate your support!

[@EIngram-qf1yp]

The Motorola micro tech kinda reminds me of the cell phone that Zach morris used in saved by the bell

[@davev9199]

That old Motorola MicroTAC is the first mobile phone I used when I was in the US Navy in 1994. Whoever was on duty was given the phone to be available when needed. When it first came out it was actually the smallest and lightest phone available. Crazy! That was a blast from the past for me.

[@LiamDoesTech]

thats actually crazy! its awesome to see how different tech was back then. super cool story!

[@brunomaxd4th]

My first mobile too! I recognized it instantly.

[@LiamDoesTech]

@brunomaxd4th i showcased it working near the end of my latest video, if you would like to check that out!

@Liam I owned a pager/cellphone shop back in the 90's, the silver rzr phone you showed brought back some fun memories, that used to be my favorite phone to work on, so eazy to work on back when Motorola sold part replacements cheap. Glad to see the younger generation taking interest in these phones, they were built to last and could take a beating. True story, one night me and some friends went to a rock concert and my buddy lost his phone, we found it the next morning in the driveway after being rained on and at freezing temps i shit you not that Motorola StarTac cranked right up. The StarTacs in my opinion were the best all around cellphones Motorola ever made.

[@LiamDoesTech]

what a cool story! i appreciate the support, ive always had a thing for older phones. especially old motorola phones!

[@theflipphonechannel8198]

The RAZR and V600 were both good finds! The RAZR especially, it looks to be in very good condition. I have several of both models, all fully working and unlocked. I may have some insight as to why that Nokia didn't power up. Many old Nokias won't power on with a bad battery while charging. With the MicroTAC you may be better off purchasing the desktop charging cradle rather than the plug in charger. Those old MicroTACs wont power on while they are charging and if the battery you have is bad, you wont be able to power on the phone. The desktop charger allows you to power on the phone while its charging

[@LiamDoesTech]

thanks a lot for the insight!

[@Ultram69]

Lol. The Startac was actually on the smaller side. Some of the other phones available were monsters in comparison.

[@Countryballs-p8f]

Mashaallah!! All your phones are so amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@Faisal_BoSheriff]

Mashallah brother

[@jgwd25]

I used to walk around with a big Motorola like that. Lol. It had a black pleather case and I loved it 😂

[@therealbfazz]

I’m glad to see you’re back, and that you haven’t changed your style one bit. Also, if I’m not mistaken, that microtac is a DPC550, I actually have one complete in the box and everything.

Some nice Phones in amongst that lot, I’ve got quite a good collection of Retro/Vintage Mobile Phones, My oldest Phone I believe is an NEC P3, Think I owned a Motorola Micro TAC & the Sim Card was the size of a Credit Card, I have no idea what happened to it, Last time I seen it was back in the 90’s, I do have a Motorola Razr V3 although it needs some TLC but does work and that is one of my favourite designs, I do have some nice Sony & Nokia Mobiles too, Happy New Year to you & yours, Anthony - Birmingham/UK 🇬🇧

[@LiamDoesTech]

thats sweet dude, thanks for the info! and happy new year to you too!

[@LightnessCollector_official]

I see you're back at buying phone lots! That's cool to see. Btw, do you have a AT&T Wireless sim card for the Motorola V600? That phone only works with AT&T Wireless sims and not any At&t/Cingular sims

Btw with old iPhones and some new iPhones that have jailbreakeable ios can be iCloud unlocked, but you got a way better chance with the old ones

ill have to look into that! ive seen a few ways but a lot of them look super shady. the fight never stops haha

[@scootersORfenders]

You made more off the views of this video than what you spent on the box of stuff you got alone so I would call it win ❤😊

Recently got myself a 10 phone lot, I buy them monthly!

[@Datan-pg4bb]

What if some of the locked iPhones that you any of you have are iCloud locked are actually stolen what would you do then?

[@LiamDoesTech]

well, since im not the one who would steal a phone, im not sure. if i knew for a fact that a device was stolen i would 100% try to return it to a previous owner. but if all else fails, im keeping it lmao

[@patrickcardon1643]

If only for the Motorola and Nokia, well worth it!

[@Justcontend]

If a battery or charge Port is broken i always look if I have a phone whit a same kind of battery and you can charge the baterry with the one phone and put it in a other phone. I know it works with most Nokia,s

No offense but your voice sounded higher than it did a long time ago. Did your voice change?

[@LiamDoesTech]

no offense taken haha. my voice is surely higher now, but mainly due to the fact that i used to hide it back then. ive always had a higher voice but i was too embarassed back then. my time away from youtube helped me realize i really dont care what others think, and that its best to live authentic. so thats what i do now 😁

[@LiamDoesTech]

genuine question?

[@airadalove]

@LiamDoesTech Yes ;)! I'm genuinely curious cos 4 years ago your voice sounded completely different, and you said you were happier now (which I'm so glad to hear!), so *maybe* something happened, but I understand it is not my business so I'm really sorry if this question upset you!

[@LiamDoesTech]

@airadalove haha no worries! well yes, a few things have changed. i go by they/them, its what fits me the best. and honestly ive felt this way for many years. ive always had a relatively high voice but out of embarassment i used to hide that in my older videos. during my break i stopped caring about the negative things people have to say, so i started using my actual voice in videos lol. my voice still has gotten a bit higher though!

[@airadalove]

@@LiamDoesTech Awesome :)))!! Thanks for sharing that with me. I'm glad you decided to focus on your happiness and stop caring about the negative things mean people say, you deserved that break and you deserve to be happy. I think your voice is super cute! And I'm truly sorry if I might've come across as some kinda troll earlier, it wasn't my intention at all ♡♡. Love your videos, btw! They're the kind I could binge watch for hours! Have a good one!!
