NovAtel
TM2

NovAtel Communications UK Ltd released the TM2 (model number: TM2YTR) hand portable telephone in 1994. An interesting feature of the TM2 was its rotating aerial attached to the left hand side of the phone. The Philips PR93 (which is also in the Mobile Phone Museum collection) was based on a similar design. The TM2's liquid crystal display could show two lines of 12 characters with additional icons above and below to indicate signal strength, battery level and phone status. The address book could store 69 telephone numbers and associated names with quick dial access for memory locations 1 to 10. Additional features included a battery alarm, microphone mute, battery save function and a call timer. The phone was designed for use on 1G analogue ETACS networks. The battery life offered 1.25 hours of talk time and 13.5 hours of standby time. Some information courtesy of Nigel Linge & Andy Sutton, the authors of 30 Years of Mobile Phones in the UK
