Motorola M3588 Design and Build

Design and Build

This device is characteristically robust, with a body measuring 140 x 50 x 25 mm. Constructed to withstand the rigors of daily use, its weight of 170 grams may be considered hefty by today’s standards, but it was quite standard back then, giving it a solid and durable feel. The build accommodates a Mini-SIM, which was a typical format at the time. Its dimensions highlight a utilitarian approach to design – a basic brick-style aesthetic that many early mobile devices featured.
