Caption contest: Cricket builds the world's largest cellphone

Regional carrier Cricket has set about breaking the Guinness record for the world's largest cellphone, crafting a giant Samsung Messager out of wood, metal, lights, wizardry, and love. It'll be officially unveiled tomorrow, but in the meantime, we've been treated to some behind-the-scenes footage of the 8th Wonder Of The World's creation. Follow the break for video.

Chris: "Leaving out the microSD slot was purely a design decision."
Don: "Hey, anybody remember where we put the world's smallest cellphone?"
Paul: "yo, david, can we meet up for this fight tmrw? me and my philistine buddies got totally wasted last night, got giant hangover. thx."
Joe: "Sure, Cricket has a bigger network, but Boost Mobile has better ringtones."
Josh T.: "And yet... the display is still cramped."
Nilay: "Finally, we will crush the iPhone!"
Thomas: "Hold on, let me walk over to my inbox"
Jacob: "The good news? Grandma will be able to see the buttons. The bad news? She won't be able to dial a number without an oxygen tank."

Great maybe now I can make a call on cricket without dropping the call! xD

[Brian @ Mar 10th 2009 7:05PM]

In California is it still illegal to talk on if it's in the bed of my truck?

[ImaYam @ Mar 10th 2009 7:25PM]

Can you see me now? Good!

Skynet went online on August 4, 1997, learns at an exponential rate and becomes aware at 2:14am on August 29,1997 and then launches a nuclear war to prevent humans from tuning it off

[blehman419 @ Mar 11th 2009 3:06AM]

Happy to see me, or is that the worlds largest cellphone in your pocket?

[Nathaniel Mast @ Mar 11th 2009 9:47AM]

Honey, I shrunk the design team.

[OneLove @ Mar 11th 2009 11:18AM]

Everybody involved in the project is now dead.

[vsaint @ Mar 10th 2009 9:20PM]

Zach Morris first on waiting list

[AVG @ Mar 10th 2009 6:07PM]

A 3.2 reading on the Richter scale can be achieved in vibrate mode.

[Fred @ Mar 10th 2009 6:10PM]

Sorry for stealing your idea in my post below, I didn't see it. :(

[B3AST x3 @ Mar 11th 2009 11:05AM]

THE IPHONE IS BETTER!!!

[Jesse James @ Mar 10th 2009 6:08PM]

"Paul Bunyun called, he wants his cell phone back."

[mysticcalfx @ Mar 11th 2009 2:30PM]

How could he call without a cellphone?

[Zinger314 @ Mar 10th 2009 6:08PM]

Oddly, it still has a 2 megapixel camera.

[iHenchman#1 @ Mar 10th 2009 7:05PM]

And they still could not get multi-touch in that beast!

FAIL!

HAHAHAH!

[Saad @ Mar 11th 2009 1:53PM]

you know, that most likely is the case..

[CanOfSoup @ Mar 10th 2009 6:09PM]

Facebook group: "I need your numbers, lost my phone"

[videonevin @ Mar 10th 2009 6:09PM]

Can you Effin' hear me now!?

[Fred @ Mar 10th 2009 6:09PM]

"Buildings collapsed and dozens were killed when the World's Largest Cell-phone was set to vibrate."

Presenting the World's first kick screen phone.

[Brandon @ Mar 10th 2009 6:12PM]

"450"....."R!"......."Yes, 3 R's"

[Samboini @ Mar 10th 2009 6:12PM]

The set pieces for "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" were way ahead in predicting the future.

[Inane_Asylum @ Mar 10th 2009 6:13PM]

Now with multitouch support! (required second person not included)

[oghowie @ Mar 10th 2009 6:13PM]

But does it have copy and paste?

[Tripp @ Mar 10th 2009 6:15PM]

Where the heck is the power button?

[kal326 @ Mar 11th 2009 12:12AM]

The better question is did they go with Mini USB, Micro USB, or the new Frik'n Huge USB standard for the connector?

[Fred @ Mar 10th 2009 6:15PM]

"It's pretty awesome but the 15 second talk-time kinda sucks"

"Really sorry for throwing my phone at you when I was drunk last night and running off like that, can you bring it over when you get this voice mail?"

[Nelson @ Mar 10th 2009 6:17PM]

Well... The VAIO P upped the standard requirements for pocket size; let's see them up this!

[Down @ Mar 10th 2009 7:38PM]

Wow, they've finally built a phone to match the pocket size for the average American.

[advs89 @ Mar 10th 2009 8:36PM]

If you're saying Americans have deep pockets, then you must be REALLY bad off...

[advs89 @ Mar 10th 2009 8:41PM]

If you were trying to say that Americans are fat -. well, then it was a very weak joke...

[MM @ Mar 11th 2009 5:35AM]

Americans are fat! As a fact

[Rainier @ Mar 10th 2009 6:18PM]

All your reception are belong to me!

[Lachupacabra @ Mar 10th 2009 6:18PM]

I'd like to see the "emo" kids fit this in their pockets....

[congoose @ Mar 11th 2009 3:14PM]

Skinny pants suck

[StinkyPete @ Mar 10th 2009 6:18PM]

Try to blend this!

[kaznai @ Mar 11th 2009 1:14AM]

Freaking awesome... If that doesn't place I will hurt someone.

[Dan @ Mar 10th 2009 6:19PM]

does it slide closed?

[mere @ Mar 10th 2009 6:18PM]

someone needs to make a giant blender for that thing

[Brad @ Mar 10th 2009 6:20PM]

Alas, the slider motion requires a mule team.

[David Hildreth @ Mar 10th 2009 6:20PM]

Only free in your local calling area... because it doesn't fit out the door.

[Evan @ Mar 12th 2009 1:27AM]

Cricket CEO Guy: "Guys, lets make a plan that includes FREE unlimited nationwide roaming voice and data!"
Cricket creepy engineer guy with no friends: "Sir, I've been working on just the phone for you."

[IndiaTech @ Mar 10th 2009 6:20PM]

I guess this merits a "That's what she said!" joke.

[Eric Bandholz @ Mar 10th 2009 6:21PM]

Is that a Cricket phone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
