Does anyone own a Pokia?http://search.ebay.com/pokia_W...omZR8[ ... fd_nbs_ent[/URL]

A full size handset you can attach to your existing cell phone. Imagine being in the car with one of those.



What the article says about a regular handset is true. Youre talking into the phone, not at it, making conversations closer and more intimate. Using my cell is a nuisance so I keep it turned off. I could never get used to the idea of talking to the wall -- there has to be a mic in front of my mouth.

I wish i had my old Motorola brick from the early 90's....

Fell off the roof of the car at 40 mph, got run over by some traffic, a guy picked it up, caught up to me and gave it back at a stoplight - It still worked.

My first was a motorola flip phone, I remember my uncle talking on his Brick, giving me directions in a small town. I knew I was close so I parked and got out to walk I saw his car and told him I was hanging up. I remember him saying right then " Oh there you are, but where is your phone?" HA-HAA. When I upgraded to micro-tac lite. It was way lighter that's for sure, but it got so hot after talking on it for like 10 minutes or more.
