Binatone Brick

Those of us into our forties or more will remember mobile phones like this in fact some even came with a brief case for the required battery. Here this tongue in cheek offering can be used for real or as a Bluetooth offering, however used it will be a...

The first main difference is the weight 208grams. I can’t exactly remember what my first unit weights but it was a great deal more than that. 20x5x4cm without the dummy aerial that adds another 7cm to the first figure. The display is 3.7x2.8cm and in...

The Brick - Review

I'm old enough to come from a different world. A world before mobile phones. When they did appear, phones like this one were expensive and bulky. Children never had mobile phones.

That said, it turns heads like no other phone I’ve seen. Pretty much everyone wanted to pick it up and use it, but I’d have to firmly place this in the “good as a Bluetooth handset for your tablet or as a DECT phone” category, if there is such a thing.

Binatone The Brick

The Brick. At the very least, we can't fault Binatone for being upfront in its marketing: this retro mobile phone is what it says it is on the tin. It's a giant lump of a ‘mobile' telephone inspired by the old Dynatacs and brief-case sized handsets of...

Binatone’s The Brick is a fun blast from the past and a reminder of just how far we’ve come that retro hipsters will love. But all the laughs to be had from doing the same Dom Joly impressions over and over again don’t outweigh the high cost - fifty...

The Brick

The Brick is one of those unexpected toys that have made it big in the market. Essentially, the Brick is a realistic looking fake brick made of durable, soft fire retardant foam. It is safe for use in fun and games and can be thrown around without...

The Brick (320GB)

LaCie makes a wide range of hard disk products, ranging from low-cost models for home users to huge great backup systems for professional and corporate users. Hard disks aren't the most exciting of products, but LaCie livens things up with some unusual...

Attractive design and price

Poor manual for accompanying software

Binatone Brick (Unlocked)

This retro-look mobile phone is silly, fun, and occasionally useful. It's a Bluetooth handset for your actual cell phone, but also works as a simple 2G GSM phone on AT&T and T-Mobile.

Eternal battery life. Radio and flashlight. Doubles as a Bluetooth headset

Rocky voice quality. Painful interface

It's not just a joke. The Binatone Brick may look like a retro gag, something you'd buy on ThinkGeek to make your techie friends laugh. But stick with me here: this $69 unlocked handset would make a fine home or car phone. The Brick works as a...
