In a 'grungy' (or 'sketchy') part of east downtown Toronto. One wonders how filthy the receiver/handset (incl. earpiece, mouthpiece) would be.

On the original tin toy , the blue rocket is the remote handset.
One button for walking one for the door to open and the space man to pop out.
Also when walking, the rear lights up and spins, and the radar rotates..
On this moc, there are 3 cogs hidden within, connecting the radar to the rear spinning light section.
Friends and family tried to warn young Wally that he was spending too much time on his mobile, but he ignored them and their worst fears came true...
Hand-held & shot under natural light, the handset that is. The grubby fleece & the beach were nicked from other efforts because We're Here to try & make sense of this craziness!

The soldiers had moved through the thick fog to take up their positions at the forming up point (FUP).
For four days, around 120 legionnaires from 2e REI and 400 British soldiers from 1 LANCS were participating in the live firing exercise with mortars and small arms fire, section and platoon attacks and full company attacks.

Few weeks ago, the mobile phone has been launched in Surma territory. Until then, the villages were totally isolated. The mobile network does not work really good now, and you have to climb the hills to catch it. In Kibbish, the best place is under the giant tree in the middle of the main road!
Some Surma students have the chance to study in Addis, and they come back with handsets in their village. In Turgit, only the Reverend has some electricity to charge the batteries.
One day, the Donga stick fighting will be organized thru the mobile phone, and not thru the traditional calendar they use on tree trunks!
A Surma / Suri girl will be beautiful if she has a big lip plate, and if her body, is covered of scarifications. They do it with accacia spine and razor blades. Razor blades are the worst thing to use as it may spread diseases thru blood. The local population are no more isolated and, as some surma men start to travel in big ethiopian cities, they also can meet prostitutes...
Piercing and lip plates are a strong part of the Surma -Suri culture. These traditional adornments are worn by almost all the adult Suri women. When a Surma woman becomes engaged to be married, usually in her teens (around 14 or 15), she disappears from village life to live in her family hut. The gap between her front lip and the flesh below is pierced and gradually stretched. In the beginning a hole is made in the lip with a wooden stick. The strecth continues as successively bigger discs of clay or wood are accomodated by the disfigured lip. Generally the two lower front teeth are pulled (or knocked) out to aid the process. The final size of the plates determines how many cattle the woman will receive as a dowry, so the more stretched her lip the better, and the more the more cattle the woman is worth. Some women have stretched their lips so as to allow plates up to 20 centimeters in diameter. Having a lip plate is considered a sign of beauty. The origins of this tradition are unknown. Sometimes the lip is broken by the pressure of the lip plate. This is a very big problem for girl because men will consider her as ugly, she won't be able to marry anyone in the tribe apart from old men or ill people.
Although it is seen as a sign of beauty nowadays, it is said that the disfigurement began as a way to prevent slavers from seizing Suri women. Over the last few years, a growing number of young Surma women refuse to have their lip pierced. The increasing exposure and opening of the Suri to other cultures is the main reason of this trend. Indeed, some Suri teenagers have the opportunity to study in Addis Abeba, and once back in their village, they tend to try to change customs and traditions.
Mursi have also the same tradition.

No handset. Did the company go out of business? Are there any functional pay phones left? _SDI1870
NOTE: Mar 2025 all remains of payphones have been removed from this mini-mall.
Nowadays, they are just subjects for the tourist snapshots and somewhere for people to pee or be sick in at the weekends.
On that cheery note, HBW!
The telephone inside the K6 telephone kiosk at Beacon Hill. This phone doesn't take coins, but it's no problem - there's a full set of instructions of how to make a call next to it!

Had to cut off the mannequins arm or should I rephrase that, had to crop in as there was a bin in the way ...
Liked how the phones handsets matched the mannequins trousers and the bike matched the clothing ...
This year (2019) was the first year I have had a drone on my castle hunting trips to Scotland, and it has made an enormous difference. It took me a little while to learn what I could do with it, the main limiting factor being the transmission range to and from the drone and the handset. Early on I found that trees between me and the drone greatly reduced the transmission range, while as I first discovered here, water has the opposite effect. In the same way that sound waves travel well across water, so too do radio waves. I got increasingly bold at flying across water, as photos to come will show, but this was to be my first attempt, a comparatively short flight of about 650m.
This is Loch Ard, one of magnificent Perthshire's magnificent lochs set amongst the Trossach hills. It lies about 3 miles west of Aberfoyle and is considered to be the source of the River Forth. That is Ben Lomond in the distance, which has been appearing on the horizon of many of the photos I have taken coming up through Ayrshire. Loch Lomond is behind Ben Lomond from here and Beinn Narnain, another Munro, which is on the far (western) side of Loch Lomond, is just visible to Ben Lomond's right.
It is always good to be back in the Highlands!
I have come here because on the nearest of the three islands, that appearing to be sailing in line astern along the southern shore of the loch, at the bottom of the photo, there are the remains of a castle. This side of the loch has no public road along it and to get to the shore as close as possible to the island with the castle on, would require a hike of a couple of miles through rather monotonous forestry plantations. Before getting a drone, I thought this was a castle I would probably never get around to visiting, and I am pleased that I did, because while the remains are scant, it has interesting historical connections.
Where did I fly the drone from? Well out in the middle of the loch there is a muddy brown looking spot. This is actually the top of a very substantial rock outcrop, the loch being close to fifty feet deep at this point. Directly above and beyond this rock (which is called Briedach), beside the road that follows the far shore of the loch, is my campervan!

This boy was Watering Wheat crops. And the Sun was setting down which was one of the most beautiful sunset i ever seen. So i asked this boy to pose for me..And the plant you see infront of this boy was planted by my own hands 2 years ago.. And ofcourse this pic was captured by Nokia handset :)
Well, at times we do get strong connections not only over the cellphone network but also with the person on the other side of the call. Seemed to be the case with this guy who was lost in a conversation while being on a busy road in Gurgaon.
This is a shot from Thursday night, when I went out with my friend David to take some night shots. This is one I came away with which I'm quite happy with. I love the helpful reminder on the screen, just incase you've never used a phone before.

20 Fenchurch Street is a commercial skyscraper in London that takes its name from its address on Fenchurch Street, in the historic City of London financial district. It has been nicknamed "The Walkie-Talkie" because of its distinctive shape, said to resemble a two-way radio handset. Construction was completed in spring 2014, and the three-floor "sky garden" was opened in January 2015. The 38-storey building is 160 m (525 ft) tall. During the building's construction, it was discovered that for a period of up to two hours each day if the sun shines directly onto the building, it acts as a concave mirror and focuses light onto the streets to the south. Spot temperature readings at street-level including up to 91 °C (196 °F) and 117 °C (243 °F) were observed during summer 2013, when the reflection of a beam of light up to six times brighter than direct sunlight shining onto the streets beneath damaged parked vehicles,including one on Eastcheap whose owner was paid £946 by the developers for repairs to melted bodywork. Temperatures in direct line with the reflection became so intense that City A.M. reporter Jim Waterson managed to fry an egg in a pan set out on the ground. The reflection also burned or scorched the doormat of a shop in the affected area. The media responded by dubbing the building the "Walkie-Scorchie" and "Fryscraper". (Source: Wikipedia)

Thanks Michael :-)
PS: I'm slowly catching up to flickr!
Hand set (mnemonic!) letters.
Typeface also available as Opentype (just letters, not handdrawn elements).
Just a normal day for us, work at mums, lunch, shopping for some new school shoes for Bethany, off to visit my aunt for a cuppa and a chat, then home for some dinner and a film.
While watching Cat and the Hat which Imogen was fully engrossed in, the girls had a phone call from their daddy who is away on an oil rig for the next couple of weeks.
Imogen is a proper daddies girl and loves talking to him on the phone when he is away, I could listen to her talking to him for hours.
She is missing him like crazy and he has only been away a couple of days,
This wonderful display was in a shop window on the Public Square in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. History is indeed all around us. I tip my hat to the folks who not only saved these fine bits of history, but shared them in such a fantastic arrangement. Is it terribly ironic that I took the picture with an iPhone? Thanks!
While landline handsets have evolved at a leisurely pace, mobile phone technology has advanced in leaps and bounds. So much so that I think of my smartphone as a pocket computer. (And when I checked for possible smartphone replacements today I found that sound quality wasn't mentioned in the technical specification; there was oodles about the cameras though.)
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are taking shots of phones.
My first mood to take that photo is kinda "suddenly wanna call her" thought. but the final effect is turn out like Neo pick up the phone in the MATRIX. I'll try another vison for that later.
Okay, never ever call me at midnight;)
A quick visit to the beautiful Frome station generated an unplanned photo opportunity.
It was Richie Bs first visit but not mine. I looked in more unusual corners for an original shot and spotted an unusual reflection on the pay phone handset. It showed the overall roof and if I got in just the right angle I could include the departing 150 on a Weymouth to Bristol service. I lined the shot up, just one chance to get it right. Just as I released the shutter Richard stepped into shot wondering what the chuff I was doing.
The result is actually really pleasing......

Ex SOUTHERN WARRIOR is a Collective Training 2 awarding Rifle Company dismounted exercise facilitated by HQ British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI). The exercise incorporated a blank and live firing phase. During the deployment window there was a short period allocated to battlefield study and low level adventure training.
