FS: RIM two way pager (retro)
It's a Research In Motion (RIM) pre BlackBerry 2 way pager.
It's a pretty cool toy and I've been using it as a watch and a notepad.
It doesn't have service but I'm pretty sure you can get it through AT&T as the literature is labeled BellSouth.

When I bought it (before I had a smart phone), I thought I was gonna turn the text messaging and use this... it was a silly idea and now it's for sale.
Here are some pictures:

I'd like maybe $20 + shipping.

Oh god, I must have this. I suppose the first question should be whether or not it takes a SIM card. Not all Bell South devices did. Need to know if I can make it work with TMO
Cell phones are my specialty. Got questions? Ask away.

I don't think it uses a SIM card. It says nothing about it in the manual.
Let me know what you want to do.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is a Mobitex-based unit, and *won't* work with modern networks.
Need help with Linux or FreeBSD? Catch me on IRC: I'm ThinkRob on FreeNode and EFnet.
