Mike's Mobile with Rotary Dial

--cmb,

<< A rotary dial mobile just for you. ... The website wasn't accessible. Considering the subject, I'm not surprised. >>

This is unfortunate. It was the BEST April Fools joke I saw on any web site.

The Phone Scoop staff took the hotest selling digital camera cum worldphone in the world (Nokia 3600) with its unconventional circular digital keypad ...

phonescoop.com

... and replaced the circular digital keypad with a superimposed rotary dialer like us old mudges have dialed many a time and designated the product the Nokia 3605, and announced Nokia's new product.

All over the web individuals were commenting on the daring retro look and saying even the penultimate laggard, --Mike Buckley, would buy this phone ... and that he even could probably figure out how to use it ...

... and you couldn't access the web site (which figgers).
