Portable Rotary Phone

Dial someone up on your cellphone

Sparkfun's Port-O-Rotary puts a full mobile phone inside a vintage rotary phone. It has a functional rotary dial, it rings with the original metallic bells, and it even has a dial tone. All you have to do is open the phone, insert your SIM card, and turn it on. It will utilize your phone number and work in North American and Europe. The internal battery is charged by an external jack on the rear of the phone (the charger is built-in). It weighs in at 2 pounds and is a bit pricey at $199.95, but imagine the looks you'll get walking down the street while talking on one of these.
