The main point of the previous
comment is that it is a joke for the "those that get it", or rather an effort in self-deprecation.

I think there is a very small market for this and you can count me in. At the same time in the limos i get transported in sometimes for work they have cordless car phones like above. So if it sells it might grow into something worth keeping an eye out for.

It also must blend.]]>Nov 29th 2007 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/cartels-nostalgic-handsfree-system-brings-back-the-car-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/cartels-nostalgic-handsfree-system-brings-back-the-car-phone/
Something just seems fishy to me about this now.... Damn i got excited.

I might be a snob but I don't normally trust nor deal with companies that don't use their own domain names for email ( just not very pro like) and have a website that looks fake ish.

Anyone have any other information about these guys?

I can give you some more information on the company. I work for it after all. :)

You're completely on target with your comments about our website and email address - but I beg to differ on the fishy part ;). When things started taking off - a little quicker than we expected - we quickly put up a temporary website so people could get some information while our website is being built.

We didn't just take a product and slap our name on it. The founder of our company - who was in the mobile electronics retail business for nearly twenty years - invented this product. He saw the need for a good in-car solution for using a cell phone safely and comfortably, so he used his knowledge as an installer to create a quality product.

So did this help you get some of your excitement back?

Well then how about this??

isaac@cartelmobilesolutions.com

(but you do know that just about anybody can create their own domain email address?)

Or this??? Here's a link to Mobile Electronics Magazine's Hot Products section in which our product was recently featured.

Mobile Electronics Magazine is well-respected by all in the Mobile Electronics industry.

Hope this helps you feel more comfortable with our company.

Thanks!

i do know anyone can make a domain. it can even point to your AOL email. My point was now a days internet image is EVERYTHING.

I run four startups that have taken off (one reason very interested in this product) and no investors would have looked at me if i did not at least spend 30 bucks on a sites/domains.

It was not to be a poke at the company. Just we have all seen way to many of these sites just like this that ended up crashing or ripping others off.

Now back to the product. Can i have one? lol

Thanks again Jessica, It's got me all warm inside again. I will be contacting them today.

Perhaps the irony is the awareness necessary to understand the joke actually derides the person laughing.

Also the price tag is over $500 bucks... for that price you can get any parrot bluetooth product and still have some $$$ left.]]>Nov 30th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/cartels-nostalgic-handsfree-system-brings-back-the-car-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/cartels-nostalgic-handsfree-system-brings-back-the-car-phone/
I'm sure again as a small biz if they could lower the price to sell more and still make a profit they would have. Might just not be part of their biz model right now.

I still agree with that price I can find an alternative and still have some coin left over to play with.

It's to bad they did not try to bring down the price because there is not that big of a market for this product. And for limo or commercial transport use - people wont want to take the time to pair the phone to the handset for a short trip.
