It's Fun! It's PHOBILE!

All your friends have nice bluetooth or handsfree on their mobiles. Now YOU can be king of the crowd with PHOBILE.

Forget international roaming and 3G capability. Phones were far more fun in the good old days. Buy PHOBILE, because despite a relentless stream of mobile telephonic innovation, talking on the phone just isn't as satisfying as it used to be. For starters you can't slam a mobile down in disgust, chuck the receiver skywards in delight, or re-enact your favourite 'This is the Sweeney, sunshine, and we're comin' ta get ya!' TV moment.

Fortunately, all that's about to change thanks to the technologically advanced but hilariously retro PHOBILE handset. Simply plug this highly evocative hunk of shiny retro-ironic plastic into your mobile via an adapter and you'll be the envy/laughing stock of all those who encounter you.

Imagine the look on people's faces when your mobile rings and you pull this whacking great relic out of your pocket!

Phobile handsets are new production, exact replicas of the Western Electric 500-series models. These were made in the U.S. starting in 1949 and ultimately became the standard handset for American rotary phones. These high quality reproductions have a superior sound quality to the original handsets.

Imagine standing in a juicer talking on it with your mobile just bobbing about at the end of the curly lead.......bwahahaa.

And if you had a top box on your bike you could park up, open it up and pull out the Phobile and pretend to be a rozza on one of those old beemers that used to have a phone on the back....... :neenaw:

Na Sam, ya still ain't convinsed me.
Never wanted, never had and never will have a mobile phone.
Two cans and a piece of string is about as retro as i'll go and even that is a bit too modern for me as far as telephonic communications go.

I'll stick with mi semephore flags, obscene arm gestures & pigeons for my communication purposes.

What d'ya mean they don't use 2p pieces in call boxes anymore!
