I want one!

Unfortunately it's just an Onion joke and not a real phone, but I'd so take that over a useless damn low-res camera that I've taken all of one or two pics with...

It'd be a bitch to clean those blades.

It's Swiss, man. The phone'll be waterproof.

interesting concept.

How long before Nokia or Motorola decides to incoporate this design with the camera phone?

Or make this part of the next N-gage?

I don't see a tooth pick or a set of tweesers. I call 'cheap knock off'.

Maybe you can take out the antenna?

You could file the antenna down to make a toothpick.

It has the most essential Swiss Army knife tools- bottle opener, and saw for amputating your own limbs if you get trapped somewhere.

(And have the proverbial GIANT BALLS OF BRASS.)

Am I the only one who thinks the bottle opener/very sharp thing is a bit poorly placed?

That many blades should never be placed on something that is supposed to go even remotely near my neck or face...

At least it's not a switchblade phone. Imagine pressing the wrong button when answering a call. Ouch.

Anyone notice that the blades and such on the Swiss Army Phone are technically facing the wrong direction?

I like the really big SUV. But I say make it bigger. Just big enough so that when it enters a parking lot, we see a shadow casting over the other cars as the Imperal March plays.

But Petro, buy that and next thing you know you're losing it at an airport while trying to get on your goddammed plane!

*I've got a bit of anger in this area excuse me while I go scream*

They took my Swiss Army Knife away from me :(
along with some extra nuts and bolts I had from my daughters crib (we moved out here from BC and found the nuts and bolts after we had our boxes packed, I forgot to take them outta my purse and stuff them in my other luggage) So now the crib is gone cause we can't put it together! I hate airports, Imean do I look like someone who would sharpen a bolt and kill someone on an airplane?
*looks innocent*
