You know those plaid Bermuda shorts and bowling shoes that your Dad wore to the beach just to embarrass you? Now they're retro, and you look so cool golfing in his hand-me-downs. Well, ThinkGeek Inc.'s Bluetooth Retro Handset is a little like that. A re-creation of the classic telephone handset, it's equipped with Bluetooth technology that connects to your cell phone. For kicks you can pretend you're talking to a local telephone operator who actually knows the name of the city you're calling. Now that's retro.
The battery-powered handset is charged with a USB connection. It has a 30-foot range, and it works with Bluetooth Versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. ThinkGeek sells it for $39.99.
