Would you believe this is a mobile phone?
SparkFun’s newly redesigned portable rotary phone ($249.95 USD) has been upgraded to work with any Bluetooth phone. Just pair the “portable” phone with your cell phone, and you can send and receive calls on this old school rotary phone. Even the ringer, analog dial and dial tone work the way you’d expect them to. And since the phone runs on a powerful rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery, you really can take it anywhere.
Now I just need a portable version of my Batphone, and I’ll be all set.

$250! What the hell, for a 40 year old piece of sh*t fone with bluetooth? f*ck you.
Hmmm. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it.
Obviously he/she is not going to, he/she is merely stating his opinion.
But yeah, $200 for that? Kind of ridiculous. I would pay maybe $20…
Is that a rotary phone in your pocket, or… oh nevermind.
I love it. Kind of pricey.
