Rotary Dialer for iPhone???

Now you've seen it all

Can you believe it? It took years and years to phase out the rotary dialing phones, but now MildMannered Industries has brought them back with Bakelite 1.0 - a beautiful old fashioned Bakelite style rotary dialer for the iPhone. Bakelite is gorgeous to look at, with a numbered and lettered dial, and offers smooth accurate dialling, with audio feedback.

Unlike a real rotary phone, users can delete the last digit, to make it a little easier to correct any mistakes, but otherwise, Bakelite is just as pleasurable, (or awkward, depending on your point of view) to use as the real thing.

Visit MildMannered Industries, or go directly to the iTunes App Store to learn more about Bakelite, or to download it to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Minimum Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch
* An iPhone is required to actually make calls
* Requires iPhone or iPod touch 2.0 update

Pricing and Availability:
Bakelite is currently free, and is only available from the iTunes App Store.
