Waay back in '95 my phone had a LCD screen that was about 3"W x 2"H. This
give you the weather, sports info and when the phone wasn't in use,
advertisements (You could choose not to have advertisements, but by having
them reduced the cost of the phone rental)

Using menus would provide info about restaurants, etc. While you couldn't
play any games the phone was still *very* cool.

Cheers,

Bryan

P.S. I had this phone when I was living in St. Thomas, a small town near
London, Ontario (CANADA!)
