London Calling Mobile Phone Booth!

Posted By: Vikas Shekhawat | Mar 10 2006

The desire to think out of the box sometimes makes people to really keep their minds out of their box. And this GSM handset in the shape of UK public telephone booth is an example of that. Designed by a USA based retailer, C&D Wireless, strictly follows Henry Ford's famous quote - "You can have your Model T in any color you like, as long as it's black."

But the phone doesn't look that bad and comes in silver with a touch of black, black with a dash of silver.

Matthew McNear, founder of C&D Wireless said:

The London Calling mobile phone was an idea I had while driving down the road. Maybe I had heard a story about how, with the advent of cell phones, those familiar English telephone boxes were rapidly disappearing, and thought how ironic it would be if you combined those two ideas. How you could preserve the classic phone box design in the very object that is responsible for its disappearance.
The GSM tri-band 100 gram telephone measures 102x43x21 mm and features a VGA camera, 65k color TFT screen, SMS/MMS functionality, polyphonic ringtones, and GPRS/WAP 2.0.
