We've seen the elusive Chumby hidden behind all sorts of facades before, but this one is probably the most heartwarming yet. The brilliant minds at MAKE have figured out a way to retrofit the highly tweakable gizmo into an old school telephone, putting all sorts of web-connected widgets at your fingertips while keeping that blast-from-the-past flair in tact. Additionally, modder Frank E. Yost claims that the end product still retains the ability to make calls, which is about the sweetest icing on a cake that one could ever ask for. Suddenly, our 3G-capable mobile phone just seems entirely less magnificent.
