For the three of you who’ve never heard of them, Hulger is a company that makes handsets that connect to your cellphone, and allow you to look as if you’re using one of them big 1981 dumbbell phones, instead of, well, your mobile. Believe it or not, this is cool.
Well, now they’ve released two new models, the PIP and the PENELOPE. The best part is that both of them come in Bluetooth versions, in addition to the traditional wired ones. This allows you to use them with VoIP applications as well. The wired versions work with pretty much all makes of cellphones, though they have adaptors for the makes that don’t (here’s the list).
So now, for about $160, you can walk down the street looking like you just escaped an asylum. Sounds like my kind of fun.

I’m pretty sure I could make one of these. Without Bluetooth of course. But a wired version would merely consist of soldering the right leads to the right spots, right? Or am I not right….right right right…
