This is not an old phone. Its a GSM phone, so you can just take your sim card out of your regular phone and put it in this and it works perfect. It has the chipset out of a newer Motorola phone, in a case of an old brick phone. I cant wait to bring this to work one day. It works awesome.

What do you think?

I must admit, this is pretty bad ass. Not the most practical, but surely a cool thing to have. Let us know the reactions you get.

That is the perfect phone to use when you're in your delorean. People will actually think you're from the 80's

You can get them here (lots of other cool retro stuff there too):

I might have to pick one up myself and throw in my work's SIM card (since I almost never use that phone) for car shows.

I still want to build a large phone to replicate Dom Jolly's pranks, just need the balls to do it in public without laughing

Thanks for the comments! LoL!! I bought this off of eBay, it was used. A guy bought it, played with it and got bored. So I picked it up for $79 shipped to my door. I think I need to dress like Zach Morris now.

I need to get one of these. That is AWESOME. It would be perfect if it weren't for the fact that it can still text. I want a phone that has only the on and dial features.

How's the battery life on that thing? :cool: Pretty snazzy! I saw the JVC cam Marty used in BTTF on ebay just today, would go very well with that phone.

Nice! What model Walkman is that? I still have my circa 1995 black cassette walkman. Unfortunately it requires something with a little more kick- Lithium! (Energizers)

I am not sure what model Walkman it is. I know its a Sony Sports Walkman. I actually have a collection of about 25 Sony Walkmans and Discmans. I also have about 75 Polaroid cameras, all different models. I am a hardcore 80's collector.

About this phone. I love it!!! Seriously. I bought it just to use as a novelty item, but lately I have been using it in the evenings, and it works so nice. The best part is its size. I forgot how nice it is to have a phone with some bulk. I can rest it on my shoulder and walk around talking on it with having to hold it. When I try to do the same with my iPhone it hurts my neck.

I found a very similar, if not the same model on ebay for about ten bucks! :) Hopefully I'll win it. I still have tons of my old cassettes.

I recall my dad having an older blue Nokia, not nearly as big as the retro one you got, but still pretty cool. It's the third one from the right side in this photo:
