Here is a [miniature version of Nokia's 5200 mobile phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-design-archives). It doesn't work - it's a toy but, it is a great accessory to any Zoolander costume. As you can tell, it even slides like so many of today's real cellphones. Yippee! It really slides! Now, it's cute and functional.

**Implications** - Phones and personal gadget technology is constantly getting smaller, and the Mini Nokia 5200 is a playful send up of that pattern. For anyone looking for the perfect compliment to their satirical Halloween costume, you really can't go wrong with a nifty little toy like this. Poking fun at pop culture's obsession with [tiny tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-creator-mini-cam) has never been so fun!
