Nokia Star Trek Communicator Phone
Check out the Nokia Star Trek Communicator Phone:
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
