Hey guys

For those who have seen HHGG, that sweet white Nokia cellphone that Arthur Dent has, does it exist? If so, does anyone know the model #?

Thank you

Hey there!

Great call, that sure is it! Looks like it isn't available in the states! I wonder if I got one out of the states if I could have it activated on sprint PCS? That thing is a beauty.
 
I was playing with one the other day, it's not very good...

C'mon, how can you go wrong with a phone that has a built-in clothing and shoe size convertor?
 
what the crap

unless this phone opens up like a 9000 model to reveal a terminal with built-in internet, wifi, bluetooth and a gps, this is one fugly phone
