    The Brick Phone - New and Updated!


    A few years ago lots of people thought it was great fun to answer their cell phone via a retro old-fashioned Bell-Western handset. You can do it via a wired version or a Bluetooth version. Now there's a new retro device in the marketplace, The Brick. 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 actually going through your smart phone. (Or, you can even put in a compatible 2G Sim card and use The Brick as your portable phone!) 1.77" LCD TFT Display 128 x160 px. 2G Networks - GSM/GPRS. You can access smartphone contacts, music and call log via Bluetooth. The Brick also has SD card slot so you can play music right on built in speaker. Built-in also is the classic game of Snake and even an FM radio. But wait, there's more. There's even a flashlight and back-lit keypad. Battery life? It has a 1000mah battery for up to 14 hours of talk time.  And it’s camera-and app-free! $69.99
