Everyone knows that not long after every major technological advancement comes the countering backward press of the mind. After wave after wave of mobile technological progress, it won't be long before we see the backward ebb of consumers' deepest wishes. Retro is going to happen whatever the Nokia and Samsung do, so why not beat the crowd and buy your own 1892 Ericsson Eiffel Tower Phone.It's only a replica of course, since the original is currently in a museum somewhere--wild guess, it's at the Smithsonian. This reproduction will set you back $79.95, but what you'll get is the feel of real cast metal. The brass finish would have felt like the real thing one hundred years ago, and care is taken to make handling authentic, including phone weight. It's five and a half pounds.
