Eliza, all I see at this page is "Star Trek Communicator Phone" and a place to enter my email. What's the deal?

That's it. Some company is designing a phone that looks like a Star Trek communicator from the original series. It's so super tech geeky.

There's a little speculation about this on engadget here: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000410054125/

Ah, so it's just "themed", not shaped like an actual communicator.

Bummer.

Oh, feh, who cares then?

Except for the fact that Communicators would be huge and clunky compared with today's cellphones, it would be a hoot to have one as a phone. I mean the whole cellphone concept just reeks of Communicators anyway. Too bad they didn't come out with one when phones were bulkier.

The inventors of the flip phone were inspired by the communicators.

Cadaverous Pallor 08-27-2005 11:02 AM

Yeah, but how come they never made one that's a phone?

I found walkie talkie ones on ebay.
