Hagenuk MT-2000

Hagenuk MT-2000 in the Cetelco variant
Two variants of the phone

Hagenuk MT-2000 was a mobile phone device launched in 1994.[1] The device was designed and manufactured by Hagenuk's development centre in Støvring, Denmark. The phone was, together with its predecessor Hagenuk MT-900 from 1992,[2] some of the first mobile phones in the industry using Soft keys. Finally, the MT-2000 was the first in the industry to have a built-in antenna, instead of the traditional extension antennas. It was believed until recently that it was the first smartphone to have installed a video game but then it turned out that it was the third one – the first two were Siemens S1 (hidden Tetris – called "Klotz" here[3]) and the IBM Simon (Scramble) – both built in 1993 and released in 1994. There were two variants of the phone produced – with and without dedicated physical buttons for volume up and down and power on/off.
