On the seventh night of Channukah I did not buy for you...

On the seventh night of Channukah, I did not buy for you...

 
This is a RetroPhone.
 
 
This Retro Phone is an attachment for your cell phone. It resembles the handsets of phones of my youth. You attach it to your cell phone.
 
 
That's right, you attach the old-fashioned hand set to your cell phone-- you know, the cell phone that you keep wanting to get slimmer and more light weight.
 
 
You can get even more retro than the above. Try this:
 


This is a Victorian-styled Retro Phone handset. You attach it to your cell phone. This one is especially designed for those who love steam-punk-style. As noted on the website selling this one:

"Victorian themed handset for fans of history or steampunk fashion
  • Take phone calls while staying in character
  • Materials: Plastic, finished to look like antiqued brass & wood"

  • See, it's plastic, but finished to look like real antique brass and wood!

    Now, the one promo point that I have read on this item that makes some kind of sense to me is "reduces harmful radiation from cell phones."

    Okay. I could get behind that.

    Although, one could just learn to use the dang ear bud and microphone that came with the cell phone.

    Or-- really radical thought-- reduce time on the cell phone and maximize face-to-face time.

    (I know, I know, I'm a phone phobic. So that would be my advice!)
