I will buy a cell phone when they make them as replicas of the old Star Trek communicators. Only then.

a Starsky & Hutch/Star Trek team-up would be just as absurd as, say, a Star Trek/X-Men one.

oh, wait...

I had a friend that had the Star Trek communicators, he wouldn't let anyone play with the second one so the rest of us had to use our generic walkies and hope one day we would get our own communicators.

Also, to this day if I end up with a walkie talkie in hand I scan the frequencies to see if I can join in on someone's conversation.

the funny thing is how much that communicator looks like my RAZR

Oh, man. I can actually remember the last time I played with a set of communicators.

Walkie talkies are always the coolest thing for kids.

Your anecdote shows the classic belief that kids have: our walkie talkies only talk to each other. Heck, when I was in US Coast Guard aviation, there were adults that forgot that anyone on your frequency could hear you.

I have a set of Star Trek Communicators in my collection, and they still work! Better than any toy walkie talkies today, even!

But look at those prices.. You can get pretty decent FRS radios for that kind of scratch these days.
