It would help if you told us whos cell phone you are talking about. There were a few cell phones in the movie.

The movie? I don't know about the phone, but I tried looking for the glasses the agents had a while back. After sifting through a few sites I learned that a lot of the props (boots, shoes, glasses, etc) were custom made for the movie and not availible in retail. Those glasses sure were cool :(

If you're talking about the one neo had (with the spring loaded case), apparently it was a model only available in europe for use on their networks. I saw somewhere where you could get a spring loaded cover for a similar nokia model, but I can't remember it.

A friend of mine has one like it... if I remember, I'll ask him about it.

The one you are looking for is the Nokia 8890. It was only available in Europe, but you can get conversion kits for the 8290 which is available here.

Also, to whomever was asking about the agents sunglasses, they were Ray Bans.

Can you tell me the exact model? All the sites I could find said they were made by some designer at Oakley and wouldn't be sold :(

Hopefully I was fooled.

yeah you can buy the 8290 which is pretty cheap these days and just buy a new case that looks like the one from the matrix. My friend bought one from daydeal.com and it looks exactly like the one from the matrix

Does the conversion kit give it the automatic opening, as that is the main reason why I want the phone

I have no idea... do a search on eBay for 8890 and you'll get a bunch of results. :D

the cell phone used in the matrix is the nokia 8110.

that isnt the 8890. the 8890 is available and works in the united states. you can buy one off ebay for roughly 200-300 dollars now.

the 8890 has always worked in the us. im not sure what providers have always supported it, but i know vstream has since its released. a friend of mine had that phone like 2 years ago.

I was just about to correct myself actually. :eek:

Also, the shades I was thinking of were the Ray Ban Orbs, which were the same as Trinity's shades in the movie. :eek::eek:

Roger that n8, I was incorrect as well. Neo wore a set of Killer Loops . There are several Morpheus sets out (Ray Ban has some). No one (that I have found) makes the agent glasses :( There are several knock-offs, but they don't come close to looking right. Just cheap looking crap. Grrr. All of them are made but the ones I want :|
