I haven’t totally made up my mind yet about this one. It’s the Portable Rotary Phone from SparkFun Electronics. It’s a cellphone…I promise…come on, I wouldn’t lie to you.

It’d make a pretty cool conversation piece, I guess, and an utterly original Christmas gift for someone worth the $500 - but, ummm, can you say clunky?

The Portable Rotary Phone supports tri-band GSM, has a SIM card slot and boasts a rechargeable battery. It would be good for a few laughs and, if you’re into getting lots of attention, I can pretty much guarantee this little guy will get it for you.
