Forget the iPhone 3G S, it's all about the Zach Morris Phone
|
Who needs voice control, an internal compass or video recording when you can get this gem of a phone?
I'm talking about the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, aka the "Zach Morris Phone," which could double as a weapon or a nice bookend.
I'll be searching eBay for this piece of analog hotness.
The DynaTac 8000X was the first phone to receive FCC approval in 1983, the same year Microsoft Word was first released, the final episode of MAS*H aired and the year "Thriller" was broadcast for the first time...leading to many years of embarrassing line dances at weddings and graduation parties.

That image of Zach, er, I mean Mark-Paul Gosselaar is from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, where it seems a "Saved by the Bell" reunion was discussed.

June 9, 2009 at 6:03 p.m.I was so jealous of the girls from "Saved by the Bell" for their awesome fashion styles. Mom jeans and bike shorts!
June 9, 2009 at 5:43 p.m.I want Kelly too, but for her body.
June 9, 2009 at 5:38 p.m.Kelly Kapowski, I want her bayside high sweater and keds...ok and her bangs too!!! I can't wait!!!
June 9, 2009 at 5:05 p.m.I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...scared!
June 9, 2009 at 4:25 p.m.Haha...I loved that show. Can't wait for the reunion.
June 9, 2009 at 3:25 p.m.His "brick" of a phone reminds me of the time when Zack sneaked out with Slater and Screech to go to "The Attic" to meet Danielle, the college girl. He forgets his phone, his mom answers it, and the guys get busted for having fake ID's.
That show is so cool!
