Flips open like a TOS communicator, but for reasons unknown, WORF will
announce you have an incoming call?

What is WRONG with those PEOPLE? NN is still alive... for one thing.

Nobody's voice should be coming out of a TOS communicator/phone
to announce that you have an incoming call, that never happened in TOS.
All the damned thing needs to do is beep and chirp.

A friend of mine has a Palm phone (not Trio -- one with a flip)
that does exactly the right thing.

It should make the same sound that Laura's emasculated hubby makes
when she slaps his henpecked ass.

slaps his grateful ass" :)

That way they can also market it to the warsies as having Artoo-Detoo
announcing your incoming calls.

If a telemarketer calls I want a circuit that can treknobabble the
phone set on their end into an agonizer.

No. There's ONE tiny pic in the sonamobile site that may or may not be it.
It only vaguely resembles the real thing. Clearly they've buried it for
retooling.

The "Upward Foundation" in Phoenix AZ, 623-848-9725, are liars and scam
artists. They make junk phone calls often several times a day to the same
number and refuse to remove you from their calling list (they will give you
a non working number to call to be removed, and the contact address on their
website is phony). This has been going on for a decade. Do not deal with
them.

Did a little surfing and found this at sona mobile's website:

Think Madonna masturbates with a crucifix while she reads her

A phone that just goes "bw-e-e-eeep" would attract all sorts of attention.
