[TriLUG] Two questions about this...

[Brian Henning]

 From TFA:
"the special edition Star Trek® Communicator Phone offers fans of cool 
mobile technology the ability ... access ring tones ..."

Ring tones??

Star Trek communicators only make one sound.  Ring tones would totally 
ruin the experience.  Anything other than the staticy chirp-chirp-chirp 
heard when Kirk flips open his communicator would be unthinkable.

As a side note, anybody ever read the Star Trek Technical Manual?  The 
original series version has a complete circuit diagram for the 
communicator... unfortunately I don't know quite enough about 
electronics to really figure if it's a real radio circuit or not... it's 
certainly plenty complex though..
