Here's an interesting device that lets people around you know that you are not yet ready to fully embrace the digital lifestyle. The Port-O-Rotary is a red-colored rotary phone that is equipped with a GM862 cellular module from Telit that enables you to use this device in a country that has 900MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz mobile networks. You have to use the analog dial to call somebody, and there are no ring tones to choose from whatsoever. Incoming calls are announced by the loud old school ring in your pappy's time. Sending text messages is an impossibility with this ridiculously expensive toy priced at $499.
