Motorola MicroTAC. Can't remember which model exactly but the display was LCD with battery and signal strength indicators, not LED.

I have no idea where the name came from. Literally nothing about it was "micro", even at the time. Well, maybe the battery life.

Main features:

• The weight of a small brick
• A full-size SIM card (the size of a credit card)
• Up to 12 hours battery life (standby, not talk)
• Could receive SMS but not send
• Received texts, even from contacts on the contact list, would only display the number, not the name (the same issue would plague other Motorola phones for years to come)
• Context-dependent volume control:
  - with the keyboard cover closed, it would control the ringer volume
  - with the keyboard cover open, it would control the key press volume
  - during the call, it would control the headset volume
  This meant that I missed a few calls because the ringer volume was pushed all the way down accidentally by other objects in the suitcase.

But it set a trend. All my phones for the next 10 years were Motorolas Never had a Nokia until the N900.
I gave it away in 1998. I should have kept it, it could fetch a nice price nowadays if still functional.
