The last time I used a payphone was a desperate time indeed — and I didn't love thinking about how icky the receiver and keys were when I was using it. I'd have no fear with the keys on this Payphone Bracelet ($62); though their origin is authentic, I'm sure they've been Purelled.
Recycling old keys into new bracelets is a pretty cool trend — maybe it's a bit premature for a Cell Phone Key Bracelet, but a Typewriter Key Bracelet is spot on.

The last time I had to use a payphone, it was because my phone errantly died (I sincerely hope that's what happens to Carrie Bradshaw here) and I was supposed to meet my boyfriend somewhere.
I remember being grossed out by all the germs of a shared phone, and got none of the nostalgia of being a teenager and using a payphone to call my mom to come pick me up from the mall. This Crosley 1950's Style Payphone returns all that nostalgia with none of the Purell — it goes in your home, and though quarters aren't required to use it, the coin slot works and the money gets deposited in the back of the phone — like a piggy bank!

You'd think with a fab worthy outfit and a Prada ombre clutch that miss Carrie Bradshaw would be showing off a sleek iPhone in the Sex and the City movie. After six seasons and now with the movie, Carrie is surprisingly still sans a cell phone.
I certainly agree that trying to track down a payphone in one of the largest urban cities in the world is much more dramatic than conveniently returning Mr. Big's calls on a BlackBerry.

I can't say I really miss the pay phones in the US, but when I read that cell phone use is making the red phone booths in Britain obsolete, I got a little melancholic. I mean, the booths are not just cute places to have a conversation or have your photo taken— they're landmarks. Did you know the signature telephone box was the result of a competition in 1924 to design a kiosk that would be acceptable to the London Metropolitan Boroughs?
