The Motorola m300 was one of the first mobile phones to be offered for use on the Mercury one2one digital network when it was launched in 1993. Mercury had approached design consultancy IDEO to develop a mobile that would have a unique appearance, be offered at low cost, be easy to use and have mass appeal. Their design was subsequently manufactured by Motorola as the m300. It was a flip design and had a retractable aerial, although this particular example is showing signs of wear and the aerial is missing.

Unfortunately nothing else is known about the features or performance of this mobile.
