Nokia RD-72

RD-72, also known as R-72, was a portable telephone set, released in 1996 by Nokia in Finland, for use in first generation analogue mobile telephone networks (1G) and in PMR trunking radio networks. The device featured here was used in the Duch Y2K backup system (MNN) 1 that was built as a shadow network, in case the regular infrastructure would fail at the turn of the century. The RD-72 measures 200 x 115 x 82 mm and weights 1.8 kg, including the 1.7 Ah battery pack. It is very similar to the Nokia Talkman 720, which was a popular mobile phone in countries with a 1G analogue NMT-450 mobile network.
