| Reset Nokia 3200 I left it to dry out for a long time, and now it's finally working again. It turns on, but it asks me to enter an unlock code (I'm using the same SIM card I used originally with it, so I know that's not the problem). I've entered all combinations of 123456 I can think of after searching the internet, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can reset the silly thing to start using it again? I'm getting sick of using my old 3310. |

| You should be able to contact your service provider and they'll give you an unlock code - I've had to do it a couple of times. I'm using the ol' 3310 too  .Other than that I can't think of anything else. Try this though: http://unlock.nokiafree.org/

| I never thought of that. Cell phone shop people are cool. <offtopic> Why do you call mobiles 'cell phones' in the USA? I gather it's to do with their size? Just wondering. </offtopic>

| According to this, cellphone was from 1984. It doesn't say whether it's the book (I've never read it) or the year, though. I would have assumed that it's from the power cell/battery, but I'm probably wrong. You've got me. |

| cellular phone and mobile phone are interchangable, here in the US they were firts called Car phones because they were only present in vehicles like limos because of the power consumption and antenna needs. My guess is the people of the US call it a cell phone instead of mobile phone is because cell is shorter (we are pretty lazy).

| I never knew that [the car part, not the lazyness] it's pretty interesting. Was it soon after that phones were attached to big cinder block sized batteries?

Cool stuff. edit>> Oh, and AFAIK the original car phones weren't cell phones (as the infrastructure wasn't there) but radio-phones. Big powerful transmitters, hence in car only.

| >radio-phones. Big powerful transmitters thats what modern cell phones are, they were bigger and a lot more powerfull because the towers were hard to come by.
