USB StarTrek Communicator NET Phone with Sounds & Lights

I was blown away by the detail and overall quality of this product. It looks like the real deal and the real metal mesh cover and moving moire is icing on the cake. Every Star Trek fan I've shown this to immediately has lust in their eyes. I think it's great that it actually has a functional purpose as a computer accessory, rather than just a toy for big kids like other similar items. I can't imagine any Trekkie not loving this product.By the way, thanks for keeping the price reasonable on this product, I wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone, you get your money's worth on this item. I would definitely buy this again!

I will be modifying this. ...I contacted the company (dream cheeky) who had indicated the were to put a Bluetooth version out. That never happened and thus it falls to me.I believe I can use a micro-controller and li on battery to make this a true bt device . I plan to disconnect the cord and install a USB port for starters. I plan to install a micro-controller and lithium ion battery for another. When I get that done I may start selling these as Bluetooth speaker phones. Right now. I'm working on the idea.

The strange thing about this item is that it's pretty well made, and would serve as a nice collectible Communicator replica, except for one detail.... it's actually a working communicator... sort of.Believe it or not, this is a USB device, and it only works when it's plugged into a computer (hence I took away a star). When you plug it in your computer will see this as a functioning audio device, capable of two way audio, so you can actually use this to either as a speaker / microphone with provgrams like Skype or other instant messaging programs.

Awesome

It makes entertaining sounds when you plug it into your computer, but it does not work when you just simply plug it into a power source. I have not used it as a net phone yet.

I bought this as a gift for my husband...and it works.. as kids we both loved Star Trek and all the props that were in the show..so to have one that works with sounds and lights plus you can actually use it..well it is just great to have a piece of our childhood.

This is just too cool! One of THE best Communicator replicas out there. Great sounds!!! I hadda have two.Oh, and I'm given to understand it also works as some sort of internet phone as well... bonus!

Very durrable and authentic, the sounds and lights are great, but the USB cable permanately connected to it is a major detraction. If it plugged in to charge and then could be removed from both ends, that would be one thing, but the cable is there to stay. And if the cable had to be permanately affixed, why not give the gadget more purpose, make it a surrogate mouse or something to give it some functionality? Clever, fun but ultimately dissappointing.
