Americans almost certainly connect Motorola-style brick handsets with… fine, Motorola, save for Nokia had a similarly vogue model in 1987: the Mobira Cityman.
similar to the N97, the handset Cityman was a beast dark gray from another era which shared the industrial type design of a Mack vehicle with the user edge ergonomics of a PDP-11 — save for on the plus point, it made a wonderful weapon in a touch.
