Bring back the old skool "brick" cell phone!



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? confuse

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.

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!" lol

lol 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.
