That's actually the closest thing I had to a phone for two months last fall, although mine wasn't fully assembled. :D

After a while though, I got tired of my mom's complaining, so I gave in and got a Nokia.

I have a bunch of older unused handsets. I have been tempted to yank the electronics from one and rewire it into a gutted SCR-536 if I can find one at an Army/Navy surplus.

I'd have to download a ringtone of the theme from the movie The Longest Day for full effect. :D

Protective parents + inexpensive. Its behind my bed somewhere. :D

How does that thing work? lol

The Firefly? It's basically a limited dial handset. You can actually reprogram most handsets to do this. However, the idea is that you can market a relatively cheap handset with very specific preset dial numbers and no general dialing keypad. It's a good idea for those that just need a phone for emergencies and to contact only specific people.

Khuon, that is the biggest brick phone... :lol:

Khuon, that is the biggest brick phone... :lol:

The SCR-536 was the name for the entire set including radio unit, crystals (you changed frequencies by swapping out crystal - 3.5kHz to 6kHz), batteries (two in the unit, one at 1.5VDC and the other at 103.5VDC) and such. The radio unit itself was known as the BC-611, was AM band, put out around 400mW for about 2 miles of range (if you were lucky) and weighed only 5 lbs. :) It had a retractable 1/4-wave antenna that would turn the unit on when you extracted it and turn it off when fully retracted. The batteries became hard to find after the war and manufacturing was discontinued. Many people just chucked them although some were crafty enough to convert the power feeds to use standard batteries. The crystal sets however became very popular because they could be used in other radios. I figure it wouldn't be all that hard to gut the inside of one and mount an older but still relatively modern mobile handset inside. I'd then simply wire up the speaker and mic to the headset port and create a discrete cover to hide the keypad and display. I'm undecided as to whether or not I want to keep the antenna (or even to have it act as a power switch) as it's pretty long or wire the side PTT to the Send key. These things were considered the first truly portable individually carried handie-talkie.

How does that thing work? lol

Yea khuon explained it well. I've had real cellphones but have never paid for the bill. I lost a phone charger one too many times (found both of them too much later) and so parents would cancel them. Text messaging was unlimited for me once... Now I'm in ownership of this cool looking cellphone. Its quite simple really with one button for the dad and the other for the mother. The mother button is actually my grandmother. 20 other phone numbers go into the phone book. I personally have a calling time of 30 minutes so I don't use the phone except for flat tires and "I'll be home late" notifications. People can only call me if they are in my phone book which I think is unlimited time. So its nice like that. Its kind of a rip off with 30 "minutes" could be 30 calls of 1 second. :)

All my siblings got one as a way for the parents to keep track of us. So far the maid/I misplaced my charger and the younger sister lost hers on vacation. Basically it was a flop. I still have it though and will use it if the case need be. Only 100$ at Target, you save quite a bit with the cheap plan.

This is what my cell phone looks like but without the golf background.

this is my phone, its like a mini side kick and the cingular version of the verizon one. I really like it bc texting is a breeze, and i do alot of that, so its all good.

This is a grabbed phot o, but my home phone looks just like this one, same color. I have to use the computer to dail out from it.

A most lovely phone, but limited in memory with no expansion, which is a shame for such a good music phone. It's big brother the w800i isn't nearly so sexy looking.

My wife got me a cellphone to carry when I ride, otherwise I don't carry it. She also uses it when her needs charging. Her plan is for 5000 min. a month; being in real estate means you live with a phone. Her car has bluetooth so she can talk through the car stereo and use buttons on the steering wheel and voice activation to call.

Not an actual photo of MY Razr (hard to bend this thing to get a photo of itself), mine has some chips from being dropped and has a pic of Lance on his TT bike as my background, as well as Rob Zombie "superbeast" as my ringtone :)

I've got Motorola V710. Don't have a pic either but that's what it looks like:

Not a bad phone, but the videos you can record with it are a bit too short.

I've had this since August of 2003:

I bought a pair of v400's for my ex-gf and I.. I still have mine but the earpiece doesn't work anymore and I didn't want to carry a "speakerphone only" phone in case of private conversations. If I ever get ambitious, I'll try to fix it.

Hmmm, mirrors work wonders, two is good to, although could give someone a headache.......

Some cool and wacky phones so far!

Its a great phone. Limited memory i know, but i think 256mb is enough for me. I like the 180 degree swivle flip.. :D This is the real photo of my phone.

I've got an Audiovox CDM-8910. I'll post photos of it once I have battery power for my digital camera.

Khuon, that is the biggest brick phone... :lol:Hey seriously, that was my first cell phone back in '84:

To date, still the best sound quality compared to any of the stuff since! That's before our current overloaded circuits and interference. Annoys the h*ll out of me dropping calls 20x a day, very unprofessional when talking to clients and having to reconnect 5-6 times in a single call. I've gotten my 14-day trial-period money-back guarantee from every single carrier in the area too. Went the last 10-years without one because I was sick of it, they promised deployment of GSM would make things much better (we got GSM years after it was obsolete everywhere else in the world). So I tried out a new phone & service... nope, still dropping calls, what a piece of sh*t!!! :eek:

My cell phone is so old........it has a rotary dial!

This is my W41CA. It has more features than I will ever need. It's great living in Japan:D
