Retro Phones of the Future?

13 08 2008

When I walked into the office this morning, the last thing I expected to see was a landline sitting on Julia‘s desk. Well, not quite a landline, but a landline-reminiscent handset.

Sup, grandma?

Hulger sells the “retro phones of the future” (or so they’re called) – different types of vintage handsets that outlast modern technology in both functionality and personality. They’re kind of like nostalgia for “the good old days” manifested in product form. Okay, so they may defeat the purpose of mobile cellular phones, but at least now I feel like I’m back in elementary school, calling all of my BFFs to watch the latest Clarissa Explains It All while gushing about how Kevin/Kyle/Connor is soooo cute and soooo the sportiest boy in school.

So retro.

So retro.

Well these look really for home phones. As far as mobile technology, well I don’t want to look like I’m in the miltary! Have you seen the new Motorokr that phone is awesome, and they’re giving away free ringtones too under the Hotel cafe section. Check it out sometime :)
