    Bluetooth Handset - Modded to be funnier

    photo

    I recently bought a Mockia Retro Bluetooth handset from retrobluetooth.com

    My idea is to use it in combination with a classic bell ringtone on my iPhone - perhaps even going the whole hog and using one of the rotary phone dial apps. Imagine the look of surprise on my work colleagues faces when my phone rings and I pull a full sized handset out of my inside pocket. OK well not the funniest or most original idea in the world - but the kind of thing that makes me chuckle.

    Anyway the Mockia handset is ideal, a proper bluetooth handset with inbuilt answer and volume controls, rechargeable via a normal USB socket with adaptor lead.

    There was just one problem - it didn't look as funny as I thought it would. I couldn't just put my finger on it - but it just seemed less ludicrous than I anticipated.

    Then it hit me, I know what it needed. So out came the drill together with a spare piece of cable and voila 10 minutes later the phone was transformed into comedy gold. mokia-mod

    Its amazing what difference a tiny piece of wire makes.

    Thanks Benson - I'm not too clued up with Wordpress/Twitter integration. I've got the Twitter account displayed in the right hand column - but I'm not a big Twitterer (yet).
