<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/star_trek_communicator.jpg" alt="star trek communicator"  title="star trek communicator photo" /></p>
<p>The modern-day replica offers up blinking lights and sounds just like the original Starfleet-issue communications gizmo. It&#8217;s even got a cool moving moire effect, making it even more retro-fabulous. I also love the &#8220;Hailing&#8221; feature, which lets you press a button on the face, flip the metal grill closed, and receive a call back from the Enterprise a few seconds later.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s loaded with over 20 phrases and sound effects from the classic <em>Trek</em> universe, including original sound samples from the TV show. While it&#8217;s not actually functional for two-way communications, it would be cool to crack one open and stuff your cell phone inside of it. I&#8217;d love to walk down the street making a call with one of these in my hand. After all, who needs Bluetooth headsets when you&#8217;ve got one of these?</p>
<p>The Star Trek Classic Communicator is available now from <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/9c69/">ThinkGeek</a> for $29.99.</p>
