Star Trek Communicator Cellphone – Rare Prototype

Star Trek Communicator Cellphone - Rare Prototype

More Info: www.rapidnadion.com (Description below) A working cellphone made in the form of a Star Trek communicator. This is one of 14 numbered prototypes distributed internally at Nokia in 2008. I bought it on eBay from a former Nokia employee who received it as a gift and no longer works for the company. This is a heavily-modified N76 with custom sounds, graphics, and hardware. It is very much a prototype and obviously in a late Alpha or early Beta stage. A little different from our usual fare. Sorry it takes me so long to get to the device itself; would have made a shorter vid if I’d known this was going to be picked up by so many tech/Trek blogs. Hope you enjoy it! Shot with HTC Evo 4G (Inflammatory or derogatory comments, or those unrelated to the device itself, or comments regarding eBay auction price speculation, will be removed.)

    This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

  2. ernestrebel says:

    Way cool!
    Martin Cooper invented the first cellular phone and network ever and he credits the Star Trek communicator as his inspiration so in fact it’s because of star trek we now have cell phones. It’s that simple.

  3. Collin Walker says:

    Not only can you talk to spock, but that phone can take a bullet

    I am so envious. I so want one.

  6. hitandmisc says:

    I saw an interview with the inventor of the cell phone and he said he straight up got the idea from trek

    SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

  10. ytbigjim says:

    Nokia would have made tens of millions if the put this on the market!

  11. RaNdOmSoNgLiStEnErr says:

    I need this in my life

  12. Draknfyre says:

    14, huh?

    Kind of appropriate. If I remember correctly, there were 12 communicators in TOS. Not counting the one stunt prop destroyed. It’s a shame this never made production. Would also be nice if the LED’s were below the number pad and not locked behind the grill. Makes me wonder about the screen behind the grill as well, if they had plans to make the grill moveable. Then again, it’s a prototype.

  21. fredhenry101 says:

    hey you do know that they make cases to protect the iphones and ipods that would make it hard for a tank to break it right?

  22. JustRosy2 says:

    I’m just about in tears — this is WAY TOO COOL!!!

  23. thepoeticamerican says:

    1) This is awesome.
    2) Is it just me, or does this guy sound like Mel Gibson?

  24. Dorisequador says:

    Awsome little Phone but I think if they made Star Trek Walkie talkies with texing they would take the market. 56klm range.

  25. sondano says:

    without flipopen capability it should not be called a star trek communicator cellphone
