Unfortunately, we've no idea exactly what mobiles are compatible with ConnectLand's USB Ferris Wheel Phone Stand (aside from the
HTC Touch, obviously), but we're all probably better off that way. This undoubtedly bizarre device can be powered via USB or a pair of AA cells, and it sports an incoming phone call alarm in the form of... wait for it... a spinning Ferris Wheel. That's right kids, whenever your handset receives a call, the wheel starts to spin and LEDs begin to flash, giving you plenty of motivation to hand out your number to anyone who will call it. Those with money to burn can snap one up for $27, but if you're
that curious to see how this thing works, why not save your dough and peek the (intensely boring) video after the jump?

Look is another piece of chinese junk!!

Cool but if I hear that sound when I feel a little PMS-ish that thing would end up in the nearest wall.
Carbonize @ Oct 31st 2007 7:16PM
Contemplates the idea of someone called homeBOY suffering from PMS.

PMS-ish... ish... Tell me if i'm wrong but i'd say he means when he is cranky more than that he's an actual girl... But I could be wrong

It's a rainbow of fun.
ben @ Oct 31st 2007 6:57PM
Thats kind of trippy in an odd way...
holycow @ Oct 31st 2007 6:57PM
wouldve been better if it just SPUN (without the music), and have the ringtone come out of the phones speaker.
endlessoul @ Oct 31st 2007 7:29PM
OR find some way to pipe the phone's ringtone through its speakers.
holycow @ Oct 31st 2007 7:39PM
oh damn i just read what i wrote.. i meant
...and have the phones ringtone come out of the speaker.
i put "phone" in the wrong spot
onin @ Oct 31st 2007 6:59PM
I'll fall back to sleep before I can answer the phone. rock a by baby =)
grjohnston @ Oct 31st 2007 7:02PM
When I heard the phone's ringtone start playing, I was first annoyed, and then thought "who's going to win?" and then it was definitely "Rock-a-bye Baby," by sheer perseverance. Yay classics, boo new stuff.

It's almost as horrible as Hello Kitty's gadgets.
Drew @ Oct 31st 2007 7:42PM
That's sooo obnoxious....
Lemmiwinks @ Oct 31st 2007 7:43PM
Great. Now I'm terrified of clowns again. $12K worth of therapy, down the drain.
Slashy the Clown @ Oct 31st 2007 9:18PM
I'm coming for you in your sleep...
Wolfticket @ Oct 31st 2007 7:56PM
I probably works with all phones as it is probably one of those cheapo things that activates on the interference you get when your phone takes and incoming call next to a speaker or something id imagine. I'm going dressed as one next halloween.

This would be cool if you were deaf...and, for some reason, had a hearing-required-style phone.
Syd @ Oct 31st 2007 8:45PM
And then what? Hello? Hello? Anyone there? Why can't I hear you?
Maybe it's cause I am deaf?
Dan @ Oct 31st 2007 8:47PM
I see this as a pioneer in the area of graphic notification. Before long we should see fish quivering/jabbering, monsters waving, phalli getting erect, etc, etc. More, more!
Syd @ Oct 31st 2007 8:53PM
What? Your phalli didn't already get stimulated indirectly by looking at the Ferris wheel spinning?
If mine lasts more than 4 hours, I'm seeing a doctor...
Miron Chereshnev @ Nov 1st 2007 2:19AM
@Syd
Phalli is a plural.
I hope that was a typo...
CUBSWILLWIN @ Oct 31st 2007 10:09PM
stop yar darn advartesin ya whipper snapper!!
Sorry in the mood today =D
inMyOpinion @ Oct 31st 2007 10:20PM
it would be a REALLY GOOD LAPTOP if it had and LED flashing ferris wheel, but that would take up your one USB port thus making it just a good laptop... its a bit of a catch-22
jorge @ Oct 31st 2007 10:28PM
not new. A few years ago if you bought a certain sony ericsson phone in china, Taiwan or hong kong you get one for free with sony ericsson brand on it.
Wolfticket @ Oct 31st 2007 11:48PM
Would you buy from a man who spams on a USB Ferris Wheel page and spells the word manual "manuel"?
Jeremy @ Oct 31st 2007 11:52PM
Well, after watching that I can see no reason why someone wouldn't want that.
tekdroid @ Nov 1st 2007 1:44AM
sure, this is nice, but it's no dancing sound-activated flower, who were decades before their time.
;)
Galley @ Nov 1st 2007 8:38AM
That truly is, the epitome of excitement!
Student Driver @ Nov 1st 2007 2:16PM
Fine, now I want my Bluetooth Rollercoaster. Obviously it needs to be 2.0+EDR in case I'm bored on my patio.
