It is a pretty cool idea. Of course, phones are made small now for a reason - it would be a real bitch carrying one of those around all the time! I'd say you could just use it in the car, but of course that's illegal over here now.

I think they are all rather cool. Even if you just use it at home instead of a headset.

I like how the top of the page says "retro phones of the future."

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

These things are cool. Get them down to $20 bucks and they have a sale.

I love retro designs with new technology inside them. My wall mounted phone's speaker is like those above with a coiled cable. The only difference is it is push button instead of having a dial. The best part is the old fashioned bell!

I can't decide if I want to buy an old 50's phone from eBay and try to replace the guts, or just to break down and buy a working replica. A restored bakelite phone would be cooler looking, but I have no idea how to get a rotary dialer to play nicely with touchtones.
...decisions, decisions...

A friend of mine did this for his Sagem MyX-5 phone some time ago. He picked up this ancient phone, cut off the cord, then picked up his Sagem hands-free set and cut the cord, put the correct wires together and voila.
Then he got the whole set into his back pack and went to the university. Someone called him and he takes out this fully functional WWII era phone. Pretty funny stuff.
