    Two new phones, one the retro "Brick" phone & one a high tech thin model for the home.

    The Brick is a phone, well, the size of a brick! Yep, exactly like the ones from the early James Bond movies. So cool back then, so retro now. But looks can be deceiving; this Brick has Bluetooth, so you can use it to take and make calls, which are rarely being relied through your smart phone. (Or, you can even put in a compatible Sim card and use as your portable phone!) The Brick also has SD card slot so you can play music right on The Brick. Built-in also is the classic game of Snake, even a flashlight and back-lit keypad. And it’s camera-free! $69.99 

    The 2nd phone in the video is from Motorola. It’s the Motorola IT6, a sort of landline version of the original super-thin Razr phone. This phone is Dect 6.0, has a built-in digital answering machine and backlight keypad. It’s high tech and sexy at the same time. Billed as "Impossibly Thin Design" it measures less than .24 inches at its narrowest point, and the handset is constructed with a real metal frame. A crystal base adds to its unique high tech look. There's a 2.2" diagonal backlit LCD display too. You can store up to 50 names on the caller ID memory and 100 names and numbers in the phonebook. It also saves up to 10 last numbers for redial. The answering machine offers up to 30 minutes of recording time. MSRP: $69.99.
