It’s the perfect weekend to build your very own Bluetooth Star Trek communicator, so you can stay in touch with the folks on the Enterprise. You don’t want to get stranded on a foreign planet do you? This project will take a little skill, so just be aware that you’ll have to cut a circuit-board, drill some holes, add a serial port, a Bluetooth module, and a microcontroller.

However, when it’s done you’ll be placing and answering calls the same way James Tiberius Kirk does. If you want to give it a go hit the link to get full step-by-step instructions.

Skype meets Star Trek(Sort of) with this communicator from Polycom. The device lets you talk hands-free. The C100S USB Speakerphone for Skype features two high-quality microphones that will give you excellent range in group conversations and eliminates pesky echoes and feedback.

It connects via USB and does double duty as a speaker if you want to listen to music. You can even pick up or hangup without using a mouse. So free your hands! They have been enslaved long enough.

It’s no coincidence that there’s a new Trek movie just as Dream Cheeky will be releasing a USB VoIP/Skype phone in the form of geek gold: A replica of the communicators used on the original Star Trek TV series.

The phone is compatible with XP, Vista and OS X Tiger or greater, and you’ll get speakerphone, mute and volume control functions, plus the usual Star Trek sounds. Stuff like, “Transporter room ready to beam up”. It’s due out in April, but we don’t have any pricing info yet. Should be affordable though.

Nokia had some ambitious plans to produce a transformable cellphone that would be called the Morph, which would have used nano technology to produce flexible electronic components that could alter their own shapes to suit the users’ needs. But now the Nokia 888 communicator which was proposed and designed by Tamer Nakisci, would be the way to make it come true.

The 888 is said to feature a flexible touch screen and speech recognition system. Liquid batteries allow bending flexibility. It’s also got a completely new feature called E-motions. (electronical motions) E-motions allows you to send or receive forms to or from friends. For instance, you could send your girlfriend a heart shape that would make her cellphone turn into a heart icon. It will probably take years, but I can’t wait to see it.

We’re not afraid to get nerdy here at the Brick, as our recent 12 Star Trek gadgets that became reality list proves, and what could be nerdier and cooler then a replica of the original Star Trek communicator? We are still waiting on an authentic Star Trek Phone, but in the meantime, this will do nicely.

The device looks just like the real thing and it comes with several sound effects and 9 voice phrases including “Enterprise, this is Kirk”, “Spock here, Captain.” and “Your signal is very weak; can you turn up your gain?”. The Communicator Replica will be available soon and will retail for $29.99.
