$500 Rotary Phone

If $500 seems a little steep for an old-fashioned phone, you can take some comfort in the fact that this one is well equipped with the same conveniences as most cell phones, though text-messaging will probably be quite difficult. The Port-O-Rotary is completely portable and works in almost any country (tri-band). Just insert your SIM-card and the phone is ready to go, using the number and memory from your mobile phone.

The product description of the phone is a little strange, as it describes it as being high quality, but tells you that the phone will not have sound quality that is as good as a "pocket phone. Other disadvantages include the fact that it may be difficult to store in a pocket or handbag, and the loud bell-ring may be annoying to some.

Okay, this is too odd. I had to read twice to make sure I was reading right. I can see having a retro rotary dial phone hanging around the house somewhere, but making it mobile seems kind of funny.
