Old-timey rotary phone hides Bluetooth secret
DVICE Atom Feed — ... by a rechargeable battery, the only thing that'll give it away is the lack of a cord connecting it to the wall. You can send and receive calls with it, its jangling bell rings when a call's coming in, and you even hear a dial tone when you pick up the receiver. Going back in time ain't cheap, though — too bad this blast from the past will lighten your wallet by $249.95. But hey, that's about $40 in 1966 dollars ... sounds about right.

Another Sparkfun Rotary Mobile Phone
Retro Thing — ... bejesus out of anyone born after 1985. The hefty 6000mAh Lithium-Polymer battery pack provides 30 hours of standby, while the built-in fast charger promises to get you back on the road in under 2 hours. Of course, when the set is charging it's tethered to the wall just like my $2 garage sale Western Electric Model 500. Still, I'd love to take one of these on the train just to see how people react when it rings. Bluetooth® Portable Rotary Phone [via technabob] ...

The SparkFun Blue Rotary mobile phone now adds Bluetooth
Newlaunches.com — ... still plenty people who want the tactile feel of the rotary phone along with those huge mouth pieces. A company called SparkFun has come out with a new Bluetooth enabled rotary mobile phone that has the look and feel of those old phones; it features a dial tone when you lift the handset and even has an analog ringtone with mechanical bells doing their job. The phone has a powerful Lithium-Polymer battery, and costs around $250. [image] sparkfun_bluetooth_rotary_phone_2.jpg [ Technabob ]

Bluetooth rotary phone for old school ringing, time-consuming dialing
CrunchGear — ... this Bluetooth-equipped rotary phone might do the trick quite nicely. At $250, the thought of actually owning this clunky chunk of nostalgia is mortifying to someone like me but I’m sure there are some phone lovers out there who’d gladly pony up. As long as your cell phone has Bluetooth, it’ll work with this phone – even down to the actual dialing. The slow, agonizing, wonderfully old-timey dialing.   Bluetooth® Portable Rotary Phone [Sparkfun via technabob]
