Moto V325 cell phone with a 1990’s antennae

While browsing the Verizon kiosk at the Ft. Collins mall, I spotted a cute mobile made by Motorola. It was a new flip-phone that has GPS capability called the V325 (pictured).

What struck me about the V325 was the pull-out antennae. It seemed so 1990’s! Shown below are three of our old mobile phones from the 1990’s with pull out antennaes.

Another thing that turned me off was the circular 4-way navigation key with what appeared to be four little hooks that looked as if they were there to keep the disc from falling off.

I rejected the V325 even though it may be a very good phone. But what else would you expect from an old Studebaker owner?
