From Tubular Telephones to Retro Smartphone Stands

— February 3, 2011 — Tech

Some have transformed into iPhone docks, while others have embraced new capabilities in the form of video calling and internet access. Your cellphone may be your best friend, but these hi-tech landline finds will remind you that those reliable, rotary, cord-bound conversation hosts require no charging and they never get lost.
