Hulger phone
Those hankering for that retro-feel in their modern communications – whether it’s by mobile-phone, Voice-over-IP, or satphone – might want to take a look at the Hulger P*Phone. It’s a 1970s/80s-style telephone handset that one can plug into all sorts of devices. For use with a laptop or desktop computer e.g. for making Skype or other VOIP calls, get the Y*Cable coiled lead so it can be plugged into the headphone/microphone sockets. The company has some nice answers to those that ask – Why?
UPDATE 30/11/05: Hulger have now brought out two new models – the Penelope*Phone and Pip*Phone – both in wired and bluetooth versions. All their products are here
