Replacing the Batphone? Well, Maybe ...

Just when I thought my life couldn't possibly get any cooler, my husband texted me a photo of the following product: a cordless handset for my iPhone.

A Batphone without the cord.

Without the cord, people.

No. Cord.

Ta da!

I know what you're thinking: 'Holy cordless handset, Batman!' And you'd be correct.

Get this. The handset works up to thirty feet away from your phone. Thirty feet, people. Thirty feet. Think about that fact for a minute. You can leave your phone in your purse in your Honda and carry the handset inside the house to your Room O' Funk (as long as your Room isn't more than thirty feet away from your Honda) and gab for hours.

Or you could leave your phone in the freezer (true story, don't ask) and still carry the handset around with you. Sure, it's bulkier than a iPhone and it doesn't fit quite as nicely in the pocket of your jeans, but a slim design isn't the point of the handset. The point is for old farts like me to relive their 80s childhood by holding an actual handset. If it came in mint green, I'd be ecstatic, sporting a side ponytail, and speaking like a Valley Girl within minutes.

Like, for sure. A mint green phone would be righteous. A black phone? Gag me.

Now that I'm really thinking it over, I'm not sure that I want the cordless handset. Part of the retro grooviness is the cord. Repeatedly wrapping the cord around your finger while you chat away is part of the appeal. So is swinging it like a jump rope for particularly long conversations.

Nope. Not sure I want a cordless model anymore. Think about it. I might look like a giant geek strutting around Target talking into a handset and no cord. Oh my. That would be bad. No thank you.

I'll just eliminate the danger of looking like a complete geek altogether and stick with my ultra cool corded Batphone.

Glad we had this conversation. Pin It Now!
