Everyone's phone is smaller than mine! God, it gets on my
nerves. This guy I know has a phone that's about the size of a
matchbox and it looks like David Bowie's codpiece. I can't win
at this game. What I want is a cell phone that's big and black
with a rotary dial and full sized handset. It'd
have a full throaty
ring (with a real bell) and then I could whip the handset out
of my bag (it'd have a one of those long springy chords) and
show that small phone bastard who's the boss.
You could also move a phone like this all over your house (hell
the world) without messing with cable or ruining you decor.

How about a somewhat-bulky phone with modern electronics and a really huge (by modern standards) battery? It would be nice to have a phone that could run for a few months or years on a charge. |

Funny, I was just thinking how neat it would be to have a phone that looks like those field radios the Army uses to call in airstrikes. If you could have a backpack with a big floppy antenna on it, you'd have the perfect outfit. |

By the way, how hard would it be to convert Teddy Ruxpin into a voice-activated cell phone? |

<grin!> "Mommy, why is he talking into that teddybear's crotch?" |
|

More seriously, though, I might actually buy one then... |

Hey centauri, I think they do make those army field radios still. I'm not sure if they double as cellphones though. I know you can get them as radios. But with a little ingenuity, you can hook up anything to anything. Its turning it on and not taking out California's paltry power supply that will be the challenge... |
