Retro iPhone - iRetrophone is Rotary Dialer app for iPhone!
I do not have an iPhone, but if I did this is the first app I would buy for it.

i couldn't afford an iphone so i bought a real phone and glued the dial on to the touchscreen of my cellphone. the results are sometimes unpredictable but you can't beat it for style.

You know I don't believe I've ever used a rotary phone in my entire life. I just remember seeing one in my grandparents house. Though I'm pretty sure they just kept it for the decor.

Thanks for the tip. I just bought it. I'll try it out tomorrow. For 99 cents, I just couldn't pass it up.

That's so sweet. Now my kids will have a way of knowing what a rotary phone was like.

I suspect the touch dial will be just as foreign to those born in a couple decades as as the rotary is to me now. Last edited by Dylrob; 11-26-2008 at 05:03 AM. |

Surreal!
I especially love the sound. My grand ma had one of those hanging on the kitchen wall. Ah, the nostalgia! |

You need that handset to match that iphone app!
That app is almost worth buying an iphone |

Some of the dial wheels required a lot of force to turn (dial) and some women (like my Mother) had dial sticks that fit on the end of pens/pencils and matched the dial holes. This kept her fingers out of the holes and kept her long nails from breaking when she made a call.
