AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Motorola StarTAC ETACS TIM – Extremely Rare New Old Stock – Original Box – Collector’s Piece
An exceptionally rare Motorola StarTAC ETACS, original TIM Italy version, preserved in its original box.
This is the ETACS analogue version, not GSM, meaning it does not use a modern SIM card and was designed for the former Italian ETACS mobile network operated by TIM. Today, this technology is obsolete and no longer in commercial use, making this phone primarily an important piece of mobile telecommunications history.
The phone appears to be completely unused / New Old Stock and has been preserved together with its original packaging, documentation and accessories, exactly as shown in the photographs.
Important:
The phone has never been tested by me, so I cannot guarantee functionality. Considering its age and collector status, I deliberately did not attempt to use or activate it.
The original box is the distinctive Motorola / TIM StarTAC ETACS packaging, and the label clearly identifies it as:
Motorola ETACS StarTAC
TIM Italy
Made in Germany
The set also includes the original documentation and accessories visible in the photos.
This is not simply an old mobile phone, but a genuine piece of 1990s mobile telecommunications history. The StarTAC became one of the defining mobile-phone designs of its era, and complete ETACS examples with their original TIM packaging are particularly interesting for serious Motorola and vintage-phone collectors.
Condition:
* New / apparently unused
* Original Motorola StarTAC ETACS
* TIM Italy edition
* Original box
* Original documentation
* Original accessories as shown
* Untested
* Sold as a collector’s item
Please carefully study all photographs, as they form an essential part of the description.
A very rare opportunity for a serious vintage mobile-phone collector.
