unrivalled in memory- up to 200 names/numbers


hahaha didn't know the benchmark for storing memory is just regular contacts back then

sapura is big name on past 30 years. their engineer is highly quality, not like today which now lost dignity and reputation as reputable technology company.

this thing is even tougher than nokia 3310

bootleg motorola?

Sapura ? Mcm syarikat anak atok

trivia: sapura is the name of the co. founder's late wife

btw , the founder Shamsuddin Abdul Kadir is Atok's crony

You will be surprised that phone book memory are kinda small back then. 200 names stored in the phonebook consider big already-my old Motorola 8700 that I used in the late 90s can only stored 100 entries on the phone alone

these are the era before SMS and WAP Internet service.



and yes the Nokia 9000 1996 have the comparable memory slot. 200 entries

my father phone last time 010
and still in the house for display

new gen came in and ask what is this??!!

Ha ha... I tell them it is satellite phone & they believe!

Dad had one of these back in the day. As a kid, I don't know why he spend so much on the phone that has less game and features.

But that alloy body, white LED screen really stand out those days.

White LED is rare at that time. And expensive too.

AI Overview

The Sapura Nomad appears to be a name used for a specific mobile phone model manufactured by Sapura Nokia Telecommunications, a joint venture that assembled and distributed telecommunications equipment in Malaysia. This phone was likely a version of the well-known Mobira Cityman series developed by Nokia-Mobira.
Background
Sapura Group is a major Malaysian technology and telecommunications company that began operations in the 1970s. In 1987, Sapura formed a joint venture with Nokia called Sapura Nokia Telecommunications Sdn Bhd to manufacture and assemble telecommunications and electronic equipment in Malaysia.
The Mobira Cityman 900, originally released by Nokia-Mobira in 1987, was one of the first truly handheld mobile phones and gained international fame when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev used one in 1989. It became known by the nickname "Gorba".
Connection
It is widely understood that the Sapura Nomad was the name given to the version of the Mobira Cityman (likely the 900 or 450 model) that was assembled and sold in the Malaysian market through the Sapura Nokia joint venture. This allowed Sapura to introduce internationally recognized mobile phone technology locally during the expansion of mobile networks in the 1990s.
The phone was notable for its large, "brick" design, which was standard for early handheld mobile phones, contrasting with today's lightweight smartphones. The Mobira Cityman series is now a sought-after collector's item.


(note that the latter model, Panther 2 appears to be Ericsson hotline oem rebrand rather than nokia)
