Five quick questions. See how well you really remember, then find out what happened to it.
You've already played today — you scored /.
The story
The Trimphone was the GPO's vision of the telephone of tomorrow: sleek, lightweight, and topped with a dial that glowed softly in the dark. Instead of the familiar clanging bell, it announced calls with an electronic warble that some found futuristic and others found utterly maddening. It was eventually swept aside once phones were deregulated and push-button models took over, though plenty of original sets survive today as retro collectables.
Come back tomorrow for a new quiz!
