Title: Just got myself a new mobile phone: Merlin delivered
Post by: Blanka on September 06, 2010, 09:53:13 PM

Today I received the first kids-portable phone from 1978. The Parker Merlin.

One problem though: The first puzzle game is the battery compartment. Does anybody know how to open it? I don't want to break it.

Tiny version of battleships seems like a perfect match   ;)

It slides up, you just have to grip it just right and push up.. It is strange like that, and they're all made that way...   :D
