Classic British red phone box goes mobile

17 July 2009 21:09 GMT / By Stuart Miles

Who wants the latest mobile phone to be just a smooth buttonless device? Certainly not these guys who've taken the concept of a phone box a little too far with the launch of the The London Calling Mobile Phone.

Modelled on the UK's classic K6 Red Telephone Box, the phone features a 65k colour TFT screen, camera, full SMS and MMS functionality, polyphonic ringtones, and GPRS/WAP 2.0.

You can set your wallpaper to display one of fifteen different iconic images from old Blighty, plus you can select from Rule Britannia, God Save the Queen, or one of twenty other ringtone melodies.

Sold unlocked so you can use it on any network, the £85 price tag might put you off an instant purchase however.
