There's an Ericsson GH388 phone I used in 90s! IIRC it was my first mobile. Never used Nokia though it had major market share those days.
I notice most of the phones seem to be missing SIM cards = intentional disposal ? Or have they just come apart over time?
Crazy to see how they just destroy historical artifacts for their agenda of building. We need to build less and preserve the past.

Wholly disagree here. The past has immense value, but, well, it's the past. Historical artefacts are only valuable through our cultural lense. I think I would always choose building the future over preserving the past.

That is to say, keeping anything historical has its limits. If we always keep everything historical, we will keep literally everything, and the planet will be quite full pretty quickly, with no place to build anything.
We should be careful to preserve truly historically relevant things. But most historical things are just old trash...

I used a Nokia in the early 2000s. But my fondest memories are of my W810i (much “newer” than the GH388… by about 11 years ). I notice most of the phones seem to be missing SIM cards = intentional disposal ? Or have they just come apart over time?
My early phones were all Ericsson later Alcatel which had a nice AA battery powered one! That was in 2000-01. First camera phone I think was a Siemens.
What a decline for European brands!

Doing rescue archaeology is a common way for archaeologists to make a living in-between more interesting projects.
