  • It's a location radio device used by cast to maintain proper positioning and timing. Simple really...

  • Why CELLPHONE? Why is everybody so dumb?

    That's a transmission DEVICE. He's using on the ear because, oh well... He must listen?

  • @belkys13 Who says it will be hands free? Just because blue tooth exists doesn't mean it's the best and easiest and most efficient.

  • wonder what the signal was like in 1928??

  • "Can you hear me now?" "Yes I can hear you loud and clear." Thanks Verizon guy. "Good."

    Can your phone do that?

  • Shes Transparent you can see through her as shes walking....look at her hat, indicates photoshop unless she was invisible too

  • she's a timelord :D

  • @belkys13 Hands free? Are u a fucking retard? We have bluetooths already invented

  • no one ever talks about her disappearing for fuck sake.

  • It looks like an iPhone 29GS-XYZ-ALPHA/OMEGA. Don't ask me, I'm not from the future ;)
