I think destroying this phone would be the right call on this one.
Indeed looks like Morontola has new models in market.
is that a spoon duct taped to the phone on the bottom?
that might get in the way of closing it
The handel is in case you can’t handel the call or so you can
Handel was trying to call his Messiah, but the phone was baroque.
Someone told him to stick a fork in it because it was done and he thought it was a good idea…
It’s a swiss knife with a spoon and a phone built in <.< and since it's on the back it should not be in the way when you close it. if you can close it at all…
LOL!… oh… oh my…
The second phone is a swiss knive! It even comes with a spoon!!!!
Is that a spoon stuck up the back of it? The duct tape doesn’t supply sufficient stability? Time for more tape, then!
Frankenphone! Just in time for Halloween.
Agreed. That is what we call them in the industry. a handset that is a conglomeration of other handsets usually of the same model. Although not always. I remember once a colleague had a V3RAZR which had a a top flip from a V600
Phone works great, too bad it is stuck on “Silent”.
Dude, just get a new phone. That doesn’t look like an expensive model!
And to think, these were once state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology.
I don’t think it has a cutting edge- it’s a spoon.
Yet another reason to pay for Verizon’s $5/month insurance program.
Looks like they figured out a way to keep them functional, after trying to deal with Verizon’s customer-no-sevice center.
I could be wrong, but i think those are Nextel, not Verizon, they look like nextel phones, plus the second one says nextel…. I used to have verizon and they were actually the best service I have had, (nextel, verizon, sprint)the only reason i switched because I saved 70 dollars a month by getting on a family plan with my dad (sprint). B
@JMan, Yes. You are wrong.
’tis an LG VX6000 from Verizon.
OHHHHHH, no he di’nt!
That top picture looks familiar. It may just be lack of creativity by the manufacturer, but if I remember right my old sprint samsung that came free had a botttom end just like that. It also had an aluminum foil antenna for the last six months of its existance.
Sprunt, Noxima, The next horizon, just remember they all use the same no-customer service department service unit. If you can speak in the biblical languages.
Why does it have a penis?
To give him something else to playwith while her’s on the phone instead
of his ****
*Hello, who’s this?*
-*One second i can’t here you right, let me adjust some ducttape.*
*What?*
-*Nevermind, it was the spoon.*
*Ahh yes always the bloody spoons.*
Is that melted duct tape or some strange adhesive on the first phone?
I think that is JB weld on the first phone. Damn you can use that stuff on anything.
It looks like Plasti-Dip to me.
It’s super fantastic bubble plastic!
lol!! not funny haha; funny sad.. dang.
what the crap ?!
iPhone has nothing on this. NOTHING.
Hang on to that phone so you can call into your Duct-tape Lovers Anonoymous meetings… that is if the duct tape isn’t already covering the speaker phone feature
How is it possible to do THAT MUCH damage to a phone in less than the two years it takes to get another free phone on most plans???
This is too much man… damn good
Can you hear me now? No? Let me get the other phone…
It’s just…ahgh.. *walks away shaking head*
Why would you violate a phone with a spoon like that? Why?? How would you like it if your phone put a spoon up YOUR butt? You probably wouldn’t.
Well, it would make you talk, I am sure. Worked for the phone too.
The spoon (or fork or whatever it is) serves as an extra antenna to boost reception and/or redirect all that cancer causing radiation
NOOOO WAIT, y’all have it all wrong. It isn’t a phone, it’s an EATING UTENSIL.
DUDE! The first phone, I still have the one in great shape. Say… $30 and it yours. If I remember correctly, it’s a VX6000. That right?
OBO.
Does the fork allow for easy charging using everyday jumper cables?
Just throw your phone on your car battery and drive to work!
I have been craving the ispoon ever since it came out!
Verizon’s new “Friends and Flatware” calling plan.
i didn’t know that McGyver started a wireless company!
Yo Dawg, I hear you like to drink soup while talking, so I put a spoon on your phone so you can slurp while you call
You’ll never make it past airport security with phones like that.
Why not just use the hands free headset as a hands free headset and leave the phone in your pocket? Is holding this thing really better than being one of Those People that walk around with a thing in their ear?
Maybe they use zip ties/duct tape/rubber bands to strap it to their head?
What ever happened to a couple of tin cans and a piece of string?
the one on top helps you make new friends, since you can’t see what you are dialing…
just memorize the tones the phone makes when you push the button
…hmm, I wonder if the bluetooth device is ziptied to the back of the phone?
Fer cryin’ out loud! I’ll just donate my son’s old one! I can’t stand to see these poor things being tortured like this. Haven’t they ever heard of freecycle?
The first phone was a model I had. That wasn’t my phone though in the pic. I just had the same phone that gradually broke until it did that.
It’s a blasted Sprint phone. You upgrade your phone on Sprint and they force you to do another two years. Sprint’s terrible phones break and break and eventually mine got like that. Mine got like that about 2 months before I could get a mostly free phone. Now I could spend $200-$300 on a new phone, but then I’d be forced into another two years with horrible Sprint just for changing phones. And to cancel my contract early costs about $200. So I let my phone go just like that for the last two months and then when the contract was up, I quit Sprint never to return again.
“Your call could not be connected. Please check the kludge and try again..”
Whaddya mean my insurance doesnt cover this!!!
If this is their phones, what about the rest of their stuff?!?!

GET A NEW PHONE
[...] }; The internet converges in mysterious ways. You guys loved the cell phone kludge from earlier this week and I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with a new photoshop [...]
Was this the comercial for Track Fone? with some saying about people being stuck in their long-term wireless contract? Ha Ha LOL
The top one, the little earbud and mic bit are from a headset that Dollar Tree sells. There’s a little clip to put it on your ear, then a cable split at the end into 2 1/8th male plugs. One is stereo though it plays both channels through the one speaker, the other is mono for the mic. It’s meant for PC’s….i have one and its pretty good for $1 US
You can terminate your caller-id service for the first phone
