Since cell phones are getting bigger with the popularity of Blackberries, I say let's just abandon smallness altogether and bring back the good old fashioned brick phone.

The one in the picture is kind of nice, but I want one with wood panel decals.

Did anyone own one of these suckers? What did you do with it? Carry it in a holster? Cart it around on a dolly?

Will Ferrel already did that--after the death of the trend below...

Stupid thread, Anx. Very stupid thread.

Maybe I wouldn't want the brick, but my first big Nokia got the best reception, had the best sound, and was maybe the most comfortable to use.

I did not, but I installed an old rotary phone in the dash of my car when the "bag phones" were the hot thing for the car.

When I saw people on their car phone, I would pick up mine and suggest they call me.

Might as well...purses are getting bigger

And as for the huge phones, Dom Joly had this one covered:

I can't find a photo of him using the big one where he told the people in the store:

"Big is the new small. Cammy Diaz has a phone twice this big!"

Anxiety said:

My mom had one in a bag.

dude these things costed like 1800 smackers back when they came out. who could afford one of these.

PEJ said:

well, i bet you can get one at a flea market for three bucks now.

that looks like a walkie-talkie.

the blackberry storm doesn't look like it's too huge...it kinda looks like an iPhone.

if i was making money, i would buy it.

My shoulder hurts from just thinking of carrying one of those around in my purse







I wouldn't lose my phone as much as I do though

JessieJ said:

does it have a tape deck for where you can program a ringtone into that thing?

Anxiety said:

OMG How would you even hold it in your hand if it had a tape deck? Wouldn't it be even bigger?


I'm not even gonna lie though. I used to want one of those big ass cellphones when I was a kid. Zack Morris had one!

Anxiety said:

lol.. that phone is huge lol .. cell phones have come along way ..

Anxiety said:

But a new battery costs a thousand dollars!

NDRU said:

hey, that's the price you pay for a three dollar cell phone. especially in this economy.

i didn't say it was a GOOD idea.

Anxiety said:

Actually a girl in my high school had one. She was the richest girl in school, and we stared at her walking around with this thing. Nearly 20 years ago, now, it's hard to believe! Now probably 99% of kids have them.

it's the phone of choice for Zack Morris...

You're all gonna look like this in about 15 years.

lol
