"The BRICKIA is a genuine vintage mobile phone converted into a plug in headset.
Dating from the 1980's these lovely creation were modeled on an oil-tankers, had talk-time battery life of about three minutes and took four people to carry. Saville Row tailors would labour throughout the night to make suit pockets big enough to hold these behemoths of telecom. Transport yourself back to those heady days by buying this great big lump and watch as you friends/colleagues/therapist gasp in awe at the wonderous and bizarre nature of your strange telecommunication..."
Texting then meant nothing. Those were used for pagers. Oh wait, now I remember. The rage then WAS the pager/cellphone combo...
