It's funny to me, that in the midst of all this amazing technology, we may be longing for a bit of nostalgia. Every one I know who owns an iPhone has their ring tone set to the "old fashioned" ring.
The New York Times featured a handset, complete with currly cord, that you can connect to your cell phone. J+R $19.99.
Long gone are the days of the telephone that hung on the wall in the kitchen with the reeeaaally long cord that extended into the pantry closet where, if you were lucky, you could yack to your friends in privacy.
A couple of years ago I bought a refurbished push button phone (in orange of course) from OK in Los Angeles for $215. It has that great familiar ring and a headset with heft.
Anthropologie has a great rotary version too for $198.
Now, we may even start seeing a resurgence of the telephone table.
