I have the same phone, it has some very weird interface quirks. But you soon get used to it. It's a good conversation starter but not an overly practical phone.
DynamoTightstar Include some Sushi and a nice Cappuccino (also include those Newton's Cradle / Newton's Pendulum / Kinetic Balls office toys into the mix).
Owned one of these for about a year. It was my primary phone. It finally started dropping calls constantly (after I dropped it about a thousand times). I went to buy my second one and was told they discontinued them. I miss it.
This can replace people home phone. Its not dumb the company should've put a decent screen on it, better battery, memory card. etc. I'm going to do more research on this because I need something like this to replace my house me phone. How is the call quality?
Every hipster will be using these as they adjust their nuts in their skinny jeans, vape on their box mod, watch their beards grow, and put on their wool beanies in 90 degree weather
my brother inlaw still has the original. i remember him using it . signal was awesome and the battery lasted ages. he used to drop that thing amd it would never fuck up .
I had a brick phone back in 1993 and 1994. I decided that I wanted a smaller phone and sent the brick phone to my dad. He insisted it was the best phone ever and refused to get a new phone until Verizon finally told him that they would no longer support it. Thanks for the video. It brought back memories. Andrew
That isn't a full size sim, that's a mini sim card slot. A full sized sim card is the size of a credit card. The Xiaomi MI3 comes with a mini sim slot, which is very useful.
I have had one of those for a couple years now. The battery lasts forever. It worked on rogers when I lent it to a friend, but last week I tried to use it when my phone died and it wouldn't work on virgin mobile here in Canada. Works great in the Bluetooth mode when you need to charge you phone. you can even text through the Bluetooth if you don't mind a lot of button tapping.
Well you must be in your 50 years old because the majority here 18-30 spent their childhood also in sitting playing games but not on iPads on NES and GBA or PS2. no offence mate but you are so old yu missed a whole generation after you.
+osamaFXX you are talking about spoiled kids with rich parents. It's hard to get/buy games then compared today, so kids back in the day still play outside most of the time.
why wouldn't they make use of that extra space and put a huge battery and quick charging in there? then it could double as a powerbank, a flashlight and conference speaker, all in one device.
It could have 6 months standby time. In fact, it could probably have much more than that, since the functional part of it can all be made on a single chip, and the rest of the phone can be just battery.
Just in case you're scrolling down hoping for a comment to say the name of the song, the song is called; *Wish you were here* by Lee Fields & The Expressions. Have a good day.
Man, I wish this had been out a couple of years ago. My daughter used to beg us to get her a smartphone and I used to joke that I was going to get her one of the old 80's brick phones. Hell I would have bought this just to see her open it up on Christmas morning. Of course, I'd have her open up the real cell phone eventually and I'd keep that big bad boy for myself, but the moment would have been priceless. XD
Cruel, man, cruel. 😂😂😂 Jimmy Kimmel ought to do a segment about it, like he does those segments where the parents fake eating all their kid's Halloween candy and where the parents give their kids Christmas gifts of food out of the fridge!!
Only 14hrs of talk time!!! WTF? I mean, I get this.. noone has landline phones anymore. So this would be dope for a inhome unit IF you got 24hours of talk time AND 3 month standby time. There's way more than enough space in this phone to get those numbers.
***** Pretty sure the iPhone 5 has a standard talk time of a bit over 8 hours... and the 5S is a bit over 10 hours. Either way, you could very easily throw a larger battery in this phone to up the runtime.
Sorry, but even if for your landline is not important, for me a landline phone is still important as calling from a mobile phone to a landline phone is expensive.
I have 2 of those.Have been using them since more than a year. Being used as official office mobile phone. Very useful as landline provider bsnl gives very pathetic service in my location. The phone is really big and feels like a wireless landline device. Unaware clients do get impressed/curious. There is very little chance of misplacing it by the office staff because its just to big to be misplaced. Battery lasts long and ringtone volume is very loud. Few of my friends also use it as their office mobile phone.
I come back to this videos sometimes wondering if there is a American version or a new version at all. Surprisingly I have not seen anything in this market at all.
I uses to have 1 of them original brick phones back in the day, i was the only 1 in my circle with a mobile phone but gee i sure did pay for it roughly $800 a month . Fkn thing kept me broke but loved being the only 1 with a mobile phone ..
I just bought this on eBay for £15.99. Amazon uk was only £16.29 but on eBay you get nectar points and way better customer service. Great video. This is gonna looks the bollocks in my office!
I am using The Brick a couple of years now as my cell phone. I like it a lot, it is very good phone. I even bought a second one for when the one I now use breaks. This is not a toy, not a joke, it is a phone and a good one.
They used to be bricks. Now they're tiles.
lol
Now there paper.

The sad thing is, that phone's more advanced than mine. Lol.
I'm maybe 1of maybe 50 people left on the planet that doesn't even have a cell phone.

I miss it.
is jack your imaginary friend?

No he's not.

+Drew Olandria it's called editing
Hey guys, just wanted to say that this's a great phone if you're doing time traveling. used it twice in the 1980s, no one suspected.
This can replace people home phone. Its not dumb the company should've put a decent screen on it, better battery, memory card. etc. I'm going to do more research on this because I need something like this to replace my house me phone. How is the call quality?
u r talking about landlines???
+Suraj Sharma yes
I have one. Quality is bad for calls and sound tinny.

I have had one of those for a couple years now. The battery lasts forever.

Works great in the Bluetooth mode when you need to charge you phone. you can even text through the Bluetooth if you don't mind a lot of button tapping.
Lew, your channel is going to make me poor.
And I love it.
likes for that soul music at the end
whats the name of the song ???

1:55 A pouch of Nothing. Have never heard any joke better than this on UA-cam.
Yeah, that one had me gasping for air, too..
4:00 That is really humbling XD
guys. goto 1:38 and listen;
you will hear Jack say: 'remember when you used to get spam on a fax machine'
Imagine we time traveled back to 1980's and give this phone to a random guy
Just
A
Camera
Kids
You should do like throwback thursday and review vintage technology and explain the movimiento and stuff
5:10 "funs" category 😂😂😂😂😂
It would make sense to make this phone big and then trow some giant battery in it..it would last whole year with out charge
In standby, for sure. And at least a few days of talk time if they put all that empty space to use. :D
Put NiCads in it, so I'd last less than 2 hours, just like they did back in the day.
Douglas Estep
LOL
back in the day when we used to have fun outside playing football
now kids these days just sitting on there ipads playing games
such a shame
iFootball, iTreeClimb, iThrowRocks etc.
Playing outside is too dangerous apparently...
xd
Well you must be in your 50 years old because the majority here 18-30 spent their childhood also in sitting playing games but not on iPads on NES and GBA or PS2. no offence mate but you are so old yu missed a whole generation after you.
+osamaFXX you are talking about spoiled kids with rich parents. It's hard to get/buy games then compared today, so kids back in the day still play outside most of the time.
ATBPjako true and games didnt have story modes or games that works on gaining XP it was just sinple games you get bored by the time you play it
okay i legit fell asleep watching this last night and got a solid 8 hour of needed rest. thanks unbox therapy!
I might just buy this and use it as a home phone lol
me too
+A Full Minute Of Crap me too
why wouldn't they make use of that extra space and put a huge battery and quick charging in there? then it could double as a powerbank, a flashlight and conference speaker, all in one device.
lost it at - "A pouch of nothing" @1:54 HA!
If it wasn't for Ryan, this video would not have reached 1 million views and 65,000 likes in less than 2 days.
R u Ryan???
oh yeah. you can rock a phone like Gordon Gekko.
man...u rock...u not only increasing knowledge but u really make us happy...keep it up
old brick phones didn't have such a big screen
USD 59.99 FOR THIS OVERSOZED PHONE IS BY FAR TOO MUCH. MAYBE MAXIMUM EUR 10,- INCL.FREIGHT .
It's a legit phone, though.
Lol thank you Ryan for being on Unbox Therapy you made me laugh.
This is *almost* awesome. If it had like a 10,000mah battery that takes up half the phone! SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE! USE IT!! *ONE YEAR STANDBY TIME!* :D
They have a 10000mah battery that last a month.
@@derrickforeal I'm buying the newest version. It has a 16,800 battery now. Big boi power.
i thought this thing gonna have 50k batery, but just 1k? wut?
It doesn't need a larger one, why waste battery capacity?
It could have 6 months standby time. In fact, it could probably have much more than that, since the functional part of it can all be made on a single chip, and the rest of the phone can be just battery.
I call that the rich grandpa phone
Spam on the fax was so annoying XD
1:30 seth rollins
hahaha
LOL! So true
Old cellphones looked like bricks, new cellphones look like roof tiles.
Jack should do a face reveal

its actually the slim, brick, there was a fatter one my dad had
+unbox therapy do a vid on the iPhone case that has a second back up tiny little phone which is slimmer than a credit card lou.
When I got my phone for my birthday, my parents actually gave me a 1980's phone with like a fanny pack battery as a joke
hownmuch does it cost xd lol your kid ask you for s7 samsung and you get him/her this phone xd
Regard Birch oh man I can see you are a fucking idiot it was a fucking joke Jesus fuck
Cruel, man, cruel. 😂😂😂

Only 14hrs of talk time!!! WTF? I mean, I get this.. noone has landline phones anymore. So this would be dope for a inhome unit IF you got 24hours of talk time AND 3 month standby time. There's way more than enough space in this phone to get those numbers.
I guess you could always just replace the battery with a bigger capacity one yourself though.... maybe
Easy, string some 2200mAh cells together and jam them in there. Boom, couple months standby and a few days talk time.
***** Pretty sure the iPhone 5 has a standard talk time of a bit over 8 hours... and the 5S is a bit over 10 hours. Either way, you could very easily throw a larger battery in this phone to up the runtime.
Sorry, but even if for your landline is not important, for me a landline phone is still important as calling from a mobile phone to a landline phone is expensive.
2:34 that looks like some legit camera shake so someone has to be holding the camera, probably jack. HE EXISTS
the cameras move all the time in these videos
When u phoned her friend and he's like "oh jeez oh no please" hahahahhahaha
You should walk around using that phone and record peoples reactions! 😂😂😂😂😂
The audio takes me back...cassette days...
I have 2 of those.Have been using them since more than a year. Being used as official office mobile phone. Very useful as landline provider bsnl gives very pathetic service in my location. The phone is really big and feels like a wireless landline device.

Nice tide ad video editing Lew! make more of them if have the chance perhaps with Jack on it 👌🏼
You know who needs one of these, Dwayne Johnson.
The Rock needs the Brick
that awkward moment when I realize that this phone is more advanced than my garbage.
thanks for all ur vids bro!
I honestly thought this phone was just something that showed up in older films, like it’s not real but it’s popular in films
"I don't know what you're trying to do"
Well... I just wanna feel like I'm Tommy Vercetti?
the 80s called they want their bricks back
The 80's Called They Want Their Phone Back.
Oh... I thought this was a real phone. So basically it's just a bluetooth headset in the shape of a phone?
It is a real phone too.

Oh, confused me because it looked like he was pairing his real cell phone with it
He probably didn't have a full sized sim card around to put in there.
It's both. He did pair his real cell phone with it.
I come back to this videos sometimes wondering if there is a American version or a new version at all. Surprisingly I have not seen anything in this market at all.
Yeah, it sucks a ton, I've been looking for ones that function similar but to no avail, hopefully they either restock or I get lucky on ebay.
Conspiracy theory: Jack is actually Jack The Ripper. That's the reason why he is never shown on screen.
I uses to have 1 of them original brick phones back in the day, i was the only 1 in my circle with a mobile phone but gee i sure did pay for it roughly $800 a month . Fkn thing kept me broke but loved being the only 1 with a mobile phone ..

I'll be needing this to fit in when I travel back to the 80s.....
