Rotary cell phone lets you step into the future via the past

Red-Rotary2.jpg

Do you hate progress? Do you still own a black-and-white TV? Do you refuse to buy a new gadget in the first decade of its lifespan? Chances are, you don't have a cell phone. But you probably see the convenience of having one despite your stubbornness. Don't worry, there's a compromise out there that's perfect for you.

The portable rotary phone looks just like the antiquated device that you know and love, but it accepts SIM cards. Yes, it's a cell phone. You can tote it around with you wherever you go, letting people know that you haven't forgotten the '70s just yet. The only downside is the price: $500. Yikes. For that much, maybe you should just stop being such a luddite and get a regular phone already. It won't kill you.
