Teens Not Sleeping Enough Because of Their Gadgets
This is definitely one of those studies that doesn't surprise me. An Australian study has shown that over 50 percent of third- and fourth-year high-school students aren't getting enough sleep because they are too busy playing games, watching TV, listening to their iPod, or chatting on the phone.
It was the males who were found glued to their video games, TVs, or media players, while the females couldn't get enough gab time in on their telephones.
Sophia Phone by Hulger: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

Displayed on 7Gadgets, this $50 phone comes with flowers, fruit, a black poodle, Eiffel Tower, ballerina, frog, a pink miniature phone and a bunch of other random charms, which to me look like hard candy from my grandmother's house.

Telephone Card Holder: Love It or Leave It?
Maybe all your corded phones are gone, but the telephone motif itself is hot (seriously, I was just saying this!).

Love It or Leave It? Retro Red and Pink Telephones
I don't think my BlackBerry 'classic phone' ringtone can compete with these shiny and new retroesque red and pink telephones. So they might not have call display or touch tone dialing, but what they lack in features, they totally make up for in style. And hey, we should all jog our memory once in awhile when it comes to remembering telephone numbers!

Telephone Earrings: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Geek jewelry is a delicate thing; it's so easy to take it from cute and fun to dangerously silly.
I'm not totally sure that these Telephone Earrings ($10) fit into that category — they are pretty freakin' cute (and being landline style, getting into the realm of vintage geek), but would I wear them to meet my boyfriend's mother? Dilemma!
