Interesting find.

Nowadays, one device can be converted into another with a little know how and a lot of time. I came across a site where a guy made a portable PS2 a bit larger than a gameboy.

Anyone remember the phonescoop.com joke about this on April Fools a few years ago when they turned the Symbian phone into a rotary version...LOL

Give this guy a pack of gum and a swiss army knife and we are all in trouble....


He should try to start mass producing them he could probably do pretty well on EBAY with something like that.

That's actually kind of cool... did it have a SIM slot? I could see the novelty of having an actual bell ringing in a bar or something and pulling that thing out of a bag or something... actually, I think people might thing you were crazy if they saw you talking into an old rotary phone with no cord. Either way, still kind of cool.

Talking Re: Rotary Cell Phone

I would love to buy one and have a friend call me and about 1 min left of time left during my Internet Security class and pull out a big rotary phone to talk to him.
