Phunny Phone Gadget

I laughed until my body hurt after I saw this gadget and its explanation. It is pretty novel, and something I might consider buying if I had the money.

Yeah, we know all about bluetooth headsets for cell phones, but forget that stuff! We have here the latest development in cell phone technology and it’s a big hunk of beautiful plastic. An accessory for your phone that you can really grab onto. Something with heft and that good-old-American solid construction feel – like a 1972 Cadillac.

The Retro Phone Handset is a new production replica of the Western Electric 500-series model, which was the classic phone handset for several decades. It’s been slightly modified to work with the headset jack of most cell phones (or via a “hands free” adapter kit, sold elsewhere). Just plug-in and dial – or for added effect, put your cell phone in your pant’s pocket – then it looks like you’re talking on a phone connected to… well, who knows?
