Re: Motorola StarTAC 8500 VIP EditionHi guys,
Does anyone of you know what the imprint Will on the StarTac means? I know that Motorola has given some VIP mobile phones with the user's name. some Oscar winners were rewarded with a VIP StarTac as well. Do you have any idea? Thanks and cheers Thomas
Re: Motorola StarTAC 8500 VIP EditionThere were some phones given away to Celebrities at the Oscars, but also at other events such as golf tournaments. These usually had their name engraved on the phone. Of the personalized models I've seen for the general public who were VIP members, their first and last names were engraved in what I believe was Lucida Calligraphy font or something similar. It might be that for celebrities, a different font was used and maybe not their whole name.
But that could also just be an internal test model that was engraved for someone working in Motorola. It's hard to say. What you might want to do is check to see if that phone has a phone number, and see what area code it is from to get an idea of its history. I believe Motorola Mobility was headquartered in Illinois in that era. Or if it belonged to a celebrity, it might have an area code like 310 or 323 (Hollywood/Los Angeles).
