Roger: Hi, Andy, it's me. I'm out back on the Mobytel.
Andy: Roger, speak up. I can't hear you.
Roger: I said I'm out back on the Mobytel!
Andy: I still can't hear you. Much better.
Roger: Honey, you'll have to speak up.
I’d hate to see how big the bluetooth headset for that phone would be. The wired hands-free set up is probably an old style phone with the pigtailed cord thats big enough you can hold it to your head by pressing it between your head and shoulder.
Norman - I heartily concur! Dave Barry once said that the new phones were “…the size of a chicklet”. It’s too true! They must be designed by and designed for Tom Thumb & Thumblina!
Remember, the only reason our cell phones (and keyboards) are as large as they are is due to our hopelessly large size and clumsiness. A completely multifunctional phone could easily be made much smaller than a postage stamp, but of course we humans couldn’t use it. Poor eyes and fat fingers.

If you had a “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” expierence, you’d probably take a day to get from the reciever to the mouthpiece and another day to go back.
Still, the MobyTel-2000 company probably did a rip-off.
