Thought I would have some fun here. Not expecting much out of this, maybe a high 5. Got the brick from the back yard, glued on the antenna.

POST: Well isn't that amazing?! 8th place. I thought this would bomb.
For those who didn't seem to understand, the Motorola phone in question was often referred to as a brick. That was my attempt at humour. To the person that said 'where is the mobile phone?', obviously my humour is beyond you :-)
It was fun to do and thanks for the votes and comments.

Or the more likely explanation is that the person who made the comment fully understood the reference, understood the humor, and still didn't think it met the very simple requirements of the challenge.

Tee hee. . .this is really cute! I just love it when a score exceeds someone's expectations. It's so rare, isn't it? But this is a no-brainer for a great score. It's awesome :)
Now it takes some real skill to not include an actual cell phone yet still place in the top ten. You know if you needed an archaic looking cell phone I could have probably mailed one to you. Come to think of it I'm wondering why I didn't even enter a shot in this challenge.
Well! I'm not a grat fan of b&w, but I love every thing about this shot, from the title to the expression, even think the b&w works well, has to be top in my books, perfect 10
I hope people aren't saying to you - 'Hey, that's a brick, not a cell phone'. Too funny, I remember those AND had one. Well, not that one but your know...10
You know I came across this image after reading some choice comments on previous entries. I have come to this conclusion - jealousy. You know you want em. You know you just gotta have em. Grow out those eyebrows man! That thing under your lip just doesnt count as anything. ;)
Oh yes - DNMC. You realize thats not a phone but a brick right?
