  • An American space engineer has built her own, one-of-a-kind cell phone with a ROTARY DIAL because she despises smartphones and texting.
    Justine Haupt, from Eastern Long Island, spent three years creating the old school device which fits into her pocket with a battery that lasts up to 30 hours.
    When she wrote about the retro cell phone on her website, so many people visited the post that her site crashed.

    I ordered one July 2022. Hope it arrives soon.
    I was a really long holdout to even get a cellphone. My first was a Sonim in 2015. Now I have an iPhone 11 and see how dangerously addictive these gadgets are. For someone who used to enjoy getting lost in thoughts, I now waste a great deal of free time playing with the device. Very dangerous, imo. I ordered one of these retro phones because I want my life back! I’ll never forget the first time I saw Justine (the designer) pull a prototype out of her pocket. I was both shocked and amazed. This was before word got out. 😂 She’s an amazing woman with good taste in music. Proud to have known her before becoming the hero of luddites everywhere.

    Could not agree with her more! I despise texting and tell my kids if it's more than two lines, call me. The thing that baffles me the most is when I see my kids not only having hours of conversation through text but also sending voice messages to explain what they meant in a text because of both typos and the fact that the other person cannot hear the intonation and interpreted the text wrong. It's a miracle they are even communicating. Wouldn't it be easier to call? In addition, for the life of them, they would never even know their own phone number or any of their friends or parents.

    Warning. Don't order one of these from their website, it will never arrive. I ordered one last November (2023) which should have arrived by Feb 2024 at the latest. It didn't. And I had no response to an email asking for order progress. Fortunately I paid by paypal, so I lodged a case against the seller stating that delivery was overdue and they didn't respond to an email. Paypal opened the case and I had to wait until their procedure was carried out. After 14 days, they didn't receive any response from the seller so I received a full refund. This was disappointing, I would liked to have had the phone, but I'm not willing to lose a comparatively large sum of money in the hope it may eventually be delivered. It's obviously a small start up and they were using the funds from advance orders to fund themselves but ran out before they could reach production.

    Where can we buy one, I agree the smartphone is loaded with problems. But its what available. for me, this Rotary cell phone would be much better.

    I would definitely buy this phone. I noticed that she only mentions smart phones in comparison, which I hate as well. I bought a flipphone. Im not tech savvy enough to invent my own cell phone.

    Sell this phone for illegal use as a burner phone. You can manufacture these very fast. Easily sell as a burner for a few 100.

      at 1:48 the white part of the dial says western electric! Search ebay with these three words " Western Electric Bluetooth " you will find a device near what is being shown here, just a bit biger but with a western electric dial!

    You can buy them but you have to assemble them yourself. SUPER difficult. I hope they will become available pre-assembled.

    she basically admits the rotary dial is a gimmick that she doesn't actually use for making calls. lol. sure everyone go buy this.
