Dec 19 2007Cell Phone Looks Like A Rotary Doughnut
The Circle Phone by designer Jin Le is a cell phone with rotary dial and only 3 buttons -- power, connect, and disconnect. I've got to say, there's something very satisfying about using a rotary phone, it's something about the sound they make when you dial. You just don't get that from today's new-fangled phones. You know what else you don't get from today's cell phones? The ability to dial with you genitals. Ah, phone sex. By the time I finally got the number right and was connected to my girlfriend I was ready to go. Sometimes her brother would answer, but it was okay -- he had a really high voice.
A few more pictures of the thing after the ring.

That's actually pretty cool.
I imagine it might be kind of awkward to talk on,
But I'd still buy one if I had the cash.

At least when same drunken buddies ask you how many times you got laid in the last year, what with having a stupid donut phone, this phone will assist you in your report by simply holding it up.

FInally my cock-ring will be soo much more useful. First you had the vibrating BT bracelt (see vibrating cockring) now you can actually dial and talk on it.
On a side note I think I've been spending too much time reading geekologie posts.
