Taito CB Handset for your mobile phone

Those of us old enough to remember the 70’s remember the CB craze. Slang like “Keep On Trucking” or “10-4 Good buddy” come to mind. Those were the days when you could turn on the CB and broadcast your “20″ to anyone who cared. As long as you kept the bugs off your glass and the “bears” off your tail, you were ok.

Taito’s new mobile handset is sure to help you relive those days, or at the very least pretend you are Burt Reynolds in the Smokey and the Bandit movie. Sure people will look at you strange, but if it becomes a trend, well then it “looks like we got us a convoy”.
