New Pokia Phone Accessory On eBay.
Yes, Pokia, not Nokia. Nicholas Roope, Creative Director at Poke, uses old phone handsets and rewires them so they work with the latest phones. It seems that this has become chic all of a sudden, with articles in Italian style magazine and the Home section of the New York Times. Yahoo! News in the UK has an article on the handsets. If you’re keen you can bid against Hollywood producers for his latest one on eBay. It works with Sony Ericsson handsets such as the t68i, t610 and the k700i. You’ve got 5 days, with current bidding at £29 (approximately $AU75). A recent one sold for about $AU285. Hey, it gets the chicks. “When you take it out in social situations, the first thing that happens is people say: ‘Does it work?’ And then inevitably you say: ‘Phone me on it.’ Then you have their number.”
