What.. is.. it? Is it a one of a kind somebody made or is it a product somebody is still making and selling? I would love to know the story behind it. I'll have to see if I can translate the page when I'm on my pc (instead of trying to mess around on my phone (which is not a Macintosch).

"++++ I am offering a truly unique item here. ++++

!!! The only mobile phone in the world with a dial that you can buy!

The mobile phone has a dial and is a fully functional GSM-based mobile phone with a real ringer.

The industrial design is based on an old GSM desk phone (see manufacturer's data) and is based on the design of a Macintosh 128k..... we would have loved to have had a phone like that in 1985.

Manufactured using a complex sintering process, complex coloring in a retro style and extremely robust in terms of the wall thickness (not a toy).


It also has a slot on the back that contains all the LEDs as well as a power button and GSM compartment.
Of course, the Macintosh Phone also has a charging port with a 9-pin (joystick) socket.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

So get in there before I change my mind and give away this special piece... :O)"

This is surreal, like something I’d see in my dreams.

I'm sure Sky's Edge Technology disagrees with that statement 😛
