The BRICKIA is a genuine vintage mobile phone converted into a plug in headset

Dating from the 1980's these lovely telecom behemoths were modeled on oil-tankers, had talk-time battery life of about three minutes and took four people to carry. Saville Row tailors would labour throughout the night to make suit pockets big enough to hold these ungainly beasts. Transport yourself back to those heady days by buying this great big lump and watch as you friends/colleagues/therapist gasp in awe at the wondrous and bizarre nature of your strange telecommunication.

Unfortunately these great big phones can no longer be used in the Uk as the analogue telephone network was switched off in 2001. So these big old bricks can either be used as a door-stop, ballast or converted for this particular use. Plug them into your sleek elegant new phone with its Wap-browsing, SMSing bluetoothery and other nonsense, then tuck the technology out of sight and make all your calls on the big 80's badboy. The buttons don't work, it's heavy, ugly, and downright pointless, but I guarantee that everyone you meet will want one too.
