Portable XBox 360/Zune phone
Here’s another look into a possible future where hair dye and colored wigs and gadgets go hand and hand. Yesterday we told you about the 2010 Wii. Well, here’s another item from T3. This one sports a dame with pink hair and big…dreams, if you’re interested in clicking through to see.

It’s an XBox 360 and a Zunephone in one compact package that leaves us drooling. But you know how it goes. Unfortunately, there is no real Zune phone. It’s going to have to remain in fantasy land, where brightly haired babes play with them.

T-Mobile LogoThere are lots of people out there who no longer have a home phone, preferring instead to use only cellular phones.

The Zihotch Retro Phone Watch
Rotary dial phones seem to be making a comeback, at least in gadgets if not actual phones. First there was the rotary dial app for iPhone. Now we have the Zihotch Retro Phone Watch, which is a pretty unique watch.

So how do you tell what time it is? You need to make a phone call to find out. Just dial 117 and the you’ll get the time from a recorded voice. Dial the wrong number and you get, “We are sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please check and call again.” It can also be used as an alarm. It can be yours for $79.99.

Sony Ericsson X1 Phone on Video
Boy Genius got his hands on a video along with some new pictures of the Sony Ericsson X1 phone. The handset sports a 800 x 480 screen, optical joystick, and HSDPA support. BGR hates the keyboard, saying it’s not absolutely terrible, but one of the worst.

The video is pretty clever with a bad version of the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour being played, lots of paper airplanes and other nonsense. Watch the video below.

Samsung unveils new “green” W510 & F268
Samsung is rolling out a “green phone”, the W510, made out of bio-plastic, which is a natural material from corn. Therefore, making one of these phones won’t pollute as much as manufacturing a typical cell phone would. The Korean market will be getting it this month.

Samsung also unveiled another green phone, the F268, which has an alarm function that alerts you every time it is fully charged. That way, you won’t waste any power by leaving it plugged in. It also sports accessories which don’t contain any BFRs (Brominated Flame Retardant) or PVC.

Carton of smokes custom phone
Smoke em if you’ve got em boys. Yet another custom phone. This time, they’ve combined the phone with a carton of smokes. That way it will make more sense when you eventually dial 911 to talk about your breathing problems. Daddy go out for a carton of smokes and never come back? Daddy may be gone, but his memory will remain with this phone.

Apple iPhone 3G in black or white
In case you haven’t noticed, Apple has a new phone. Something about an iPhone 3G something or other. The question is, will you be getting one? We want to hear from you. Yay or nay? Or could you care less? And is Steve Jobs alright? He was looking a little thinner then usual.

Money Phone for shady business calls

Money Phone for shady business calls
Here’s the perfect phone for that dark smoky back room, by the cash counting machine and crates full of contriband. It says “I want my money now, or else…”. It also says, I make so much money I don’t even care that I look like an idiot holding a stack of fake dough to my head that’s actually a corded phone. But who’s gonna laugh? You’re the head honcho. If you have a silly cash phone, that’s totally your call. Get it?

It goes with the gun phone quite nicely. This phone is also the phone of choice for bill collectors and pimps.

BlackBerry Thunder touchscreen live shot
This might make you stop and think if you’re after a 3G iPhone. Here’s a live shot of the upcoming BlackBerry Thunder, sporting a touchscreen. Not a ton of info from the image, but it sure has a ton of buttons, some of which include send, end, back, menu, dual convenience keys, volume, lock, etc. It’s coming to Verizon and they should do quite well. The war to decide who gets your money is on.

Intuit concept phone loves the Sun

Intuit concept phone loves the Sun
Here’s another great concept phone. Aside from being a slider, the Intuit is a new approach as far as design. It takes after the iPhone as far as having a touch screen and even has a second screen for user input. It also sports a 5 megapixel camera with built in editing software, a touch keypad with tactile feedback, and even a chemical-based solar skin that will charge the battery when exposed to the sun’s rays. I don’t know about you, but I was taught to never leave my phone in the hot sun. Anyway, it certainly looks pleasing. Is it intuitive or not? Hell if I know. If it ever gets released, I guess we’ll find out.

Scarface called, he wants his phone back

Scarface called, he wants his phone back
Tony Montana would love to have this phone on his desk. It also makes a great gag gift for your other “business associates”. It’s the phone to use when you mean business. This phone says, I may not be sure who is going to get whacked tonight, but somebody’s going in the river, so let’s lighten the mood a bit as I take this call on my gun.

The telephone is built into the grip of the gun and has an on/off switch near the trigger. It also has a headset jack. You listen and talk by placing the gun to your head, so it’s a better gag if you tell your friend to answer it as you put it to their head. Keeps him honest, ya know.

Cute Mouse Phone in a familiar shape
Maybe iRiver should have done something like this with their Mickey Mouse speakers, creating something cute that actually has a bit more of a personality. It’s a cute little mobile phone, perfect for girls of course. It opens up to reveal a 1.3 inch TFT LCD screen.

It has Bluetooth stereo output and the player will play 3GP and MP4 video files. Some other features include a 1.3MP camera, alarm function, MMS, and FM radio. The Mouse Phone may be small and cute, but it’s price might scare some of you off at $225.

McDonalds lets you order with your phone
In what surely has to be a perfect collaboration between McDonalds and Nintendo, McDonalds is making it easier then ever to order food that will have you working twice as hard on the Wii-Fit. hmmm. Then you’ll get hungry again. Let’s see, who makes it easiest to get a disc shaped hunk of grease on a sesame seed bun? And the circle is complete, my friends. McDonald’s will introduce a new system that’s currently testing in Japan.

It’s a payment application that’s downloaded into your phone and when you place your phone over an RFID reader, you can pay instantly or use coupons and the like.
