Enterprise, come in. Beam two of those devices to by living room..... Two days for delivery? That's not really up to your usual standards Scotty, but it'll have to do.

Need to make this Bluetooth, and it would sell big.
Another manufacturer called The Wand Compnay did make one several years ago with Bluetooth but now it's a collectible worth several hundred dollars.

They probably think communicators are science fiction and don't know they exist in real life.

Several hundred dollars???!! I think that's the one I bought from Best Buy years ago and never opened. The phaser too.

Such a thing exists, but not for $12. I bought one years ago at $50 iirc.

And Walmart has the Star Trek Original Enterprise playmates ship on sale for $23.01, which is similar to the Enterprise D that was on sale a couple weeks ago.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Star-T...hbdg=L1600
I added that, the communicator, and the phaser to my Walmart cart just a moment ago so that I can then get free shipping (I don't usually order a lot of stuff from Walmart online for shipping to make the Walmart+ subscription worth paying for); on top of all that, all items are expected to arrive tomorrow!

Reminds me of my old lg flip phone. It was bullet proof and the battery charge lasted a week.
More like the old Motorola Startac flip phones from the 90s, just upside-down.

One and the same. I bought both the phaser and communicator too. Check out EBay for both. There's an active listing for the phaser used and current bid is $480.

Got one to use as a project box. See if I can fit a LoRa board in there for Meshtastic or something.

They did sell bluetooth versions for awhile. Looks like they're being sold used for over $400 or perhaps 800+ I thought I saw one for 400ish but not finding it again...

I thought the exact same thing... Guess I'll buy it and mod it....
They did and it's no longer available (except on eBay). It was $175. Keep a lookout for the tricorder. Wand Company.
