Just your usual android phone
There was this dumb ‘headset’ that retro enthusiasts loved that was just a big old Mah Bell phone receiver that plugged into your '00s era dumb phone.
Combine that with a High Quality landline phone ringtone and you’d be the coolest dork at the nerd party for approximately 5 minutes.
the biggest advantage of this is that I can answer the call with wet/thick gloved hands. modern phones should have a dedicated answer key.
No thanks. I might accidentally slip onto that button and accept a call. And I never accept calls 😁
most of the time I accept call when a friend is in some distress. or when one of the parties is in a position where texting isn’t viable and it’s something urgent.
and yes I like random misdialed calls or scam calls (I think my numbers are in scammers’ blocklists lol). I always pick them :).
That’s what your nose is for 🙃
yes. I text that way too in such situations.
That’s how I made collect calls back in the 90s: I was also a parrot, back then. Your experience may have differed.
I would love for this to be a dock for my phone and my desk.
It’d be nice to set your mobile in one and have it connect to other units in a house to mimic landlines.
Would be ideal for my workplace. After we got a replacement for our malfunctioning Panasonic intercom system, it was a major stepdown, with little to no features, and some badly working ones (redial of external numbers don’t work because it would need to press
9for an external line, etc).https://www.grandstream.com/products/ip-video-telephony/ip-video-phones-android/product/gxv3470 <-- that’s something like this, if not the same? These are useful for those call centers where they can put the app that has all the forms + scripts the person on the phone are following, and they would not need any other technology at their desks.
This seems targeted towards elderly people and while the implementation isn’t ideal the concept itself isn’t too bad.
Why is the battery not fully charged?
Nah, I’m still using this smartphone
Honestly love the vibe. Catch me on that rotary.
These are for sale this isn’t some AI mock up
Are they still for sale? Looks like there website just has blog posts about mfg status
They are not currently taking orders while they try and get a manufacturer to fulfill existing orders.
Oh man, you managed to actually get one? I’ve been waiting like 3 years now, at least. Same color I want too.
Hopefully soon. I’m not canceling this order.
Better. I’ve actually managed to get a screenshot of one!
god i want scifi with this vibe, like how retro scifi is always just the cool future tech glued together with the things that were normal back then
Look out! It’s going to fire it’s laser!
:A bunch of feral cats materialize and chase a red dot around your chest:
Looks likes the telecom equivalent of when the flintstones met the jetsons.
I’d this a real thing? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.
I can hear the questions from grandma asking how to find the dial pad after she accidentally deletes it from the homescreen.
Other then that this reminds me of TV shows or moves that had video telephones in homes mounted on walls similar to this. You would make a call and their face would appear on the screen, you could even broadcast to all screen in the house.
