Yubz Retro Skype Handset

2007_10_02 yubz.jpg

Here at AT, when it comes time to chat with the other editors we all hop on to Skype. While headsets are pretty much the defacto VOIP standard, it would be interesting to sit at the computer talking into the handset of an old rotary dial phone.
 
 

Probably not nearly as comfortable as sitting back in your chair with your hands free but for some reason we are intrigued with hearing the phone ring on our laptop and picking up this chunky handset to answer the call.

Available here for $44.95.

I think the original (well maybe still up for debate) is from here: www.hulger.com
