Rotary Un-Smartphone Kit Gadget

We managed to find ultimate retro gadget for you.Justine Haupt’s Rotary Un-Smartphone Kit.

Smartphones are cool if you like carrying a miniature computer everywhere with you, but if you only care about making calls and all the other stuff is just getting in the way, the mobile rotary phone designed by space engineer and brilliant inventor Justine Haupt is just perfect. Featuring the familiar plastic dial that most of us 90s kids grew up with, the Rotary Un-Smartphone is basically a barebone smartphone that only includes the absolute essentials,but with a cool retro look

Apart from the rotary dial, this cool-looking handheld features a mechanical ringer bell made gold or silver-coated brass, two displays – front-side OLED and back-side ePaper – and mechanical power switch, and external antennas for better reception.

Having to rotate the plastic dial every time you want to call someone might seem tedious, but that’s not really how the Un-Smartphone works. According to the project’s website, “you can store your contacts list and then dial up your friends with just two spins of the dial. When the less frequent need to dial a new number arises, the novelty of the satisfying-to-use rotary dial is fun rather than annoying.

The Rotary Un-Smartphone is currently being sold as a kit that Justine Haupt is easy to put together by virtually anyone. She lists a number of reasons for not offering it as a ready-to-use device, with the most important one being FCC licensing.
