Caption contest: eternal rest inside a Nokia

Yep, it's a coffin. Mobile phones have become such a critical part of our daily lives, and apparently they're becoming a critical part of our deaths now, too -- but if you're going to spend the rest of eternity inside a single phone, do you really want it to be a Nokia 7250? Seriously?

Chris: "Giving 'Early Termination Fee' a whole new meaning."
Ryan: "Nokia: connecting dead people."
Paul: "Of course it comes with an FM radio!"
Sean: "Though it will never pass the pocket test, the coffin does include the rarely used AG2GP (Audio Grave to Grave) Bluetooth profile."
Evan: "*Casket will only work in certain graveyards, $200 reburial fee applicable"

Talk about getting "locked in" to a long-term contract...

[Mike @ Mar 30th 2007 2:30PM]

All I know is it makes it a hell of a lot easier than praying to talk to your loved ones...

[Stephen Marshall @ Mar 30th 2007 2:34PM]

[Mike @ Mar 30th 2007 2:45PM]

I guess this puts the final nail in the coffin of that old "Cellphones are bad/not bad for your health" debate...

[M. K. Glass @ Mar 30th 2007 2:45PM]

"I'd sell my soul for good reception!"
"Well, at least his cell phone battery didn't die."
"Was he killed during peace time?" "No, KIA"

[childofthehorn @ Mar 30th 2007 2:46PM]

"Live by the Cellphone, die by the cellphone."

"Now in Human powered Version, the ultimate in Eco-Friendly!"

"This here took first prize in the fair this year, the others just couldn't get their weight up."

Steve Jobs readies the last piece of his stage as he prepares for the actual iPhone release and the death of traditional mobile phone.

[Jonathan Allen @ Mar 30th 2007 2:46PM]

Isn't that the phone Zack Morris used on "Saved By the Bell"?

[Brent @ Mar 30th 2007 2:47PM]

Alexander Graham Bell: "So you see, in the future, telephones may be able to send signals without wires, but will of course require hundreds of vacuum tubes and will be approximately the size of a coffin"

[JoshLowry @ Mar 30th 2007 2:48PM]

"Fewer dropped caskets than any other carrier."

[Vicious Fishes @ Mar 30th 2007 2:50PM]

I guess the deceased is lucky that it isn't a flip phone

[Richard Griggs @ Mar 30th 2007 2:56PM]

This way, if you get buried alive, you can call for help

Your ears may rot; our headset will not.

The Rigor Mortis foiled Joe's wishes to be buried in a CSC (Clam Shell Coffin) so his family had to settle for the CBC model (Candy Bar).

[[e-mail] @ Mar 30th 2007 3:10PM]

Does this Caskette come in a slider or Clamshell version?

[Chocolate Starfish @ Mar 30th 2007 3:13PM]

Now with longer battery life!

[Mike E. @ Mar 30th 2007 3:14PM]

Gives new meaning to the term "dead ringer."

[russ.petersen @ Mar 30th 2007 3:15PM]

Never miss a call again.

Ever.

[Matt B @ Mar 30th 2007 3:16PM]

That is one way of "Calling it quits".

[Mahknip @ Mar 30th 2007 3:19PM]

With the rise of car accident deaths attributed to drivers on their cell phone. Nokia has launched this exclusive casket modeled like the 7250 to those who parted this planet wirelessly. Available in most areas, $4000 with 1000yr agreement, $500 early termination fee. Availble at most metropolitan graveyards.

[Tony @ Mar 30th 2007 3:20PM]

What happens when God decides to trade in his old cellphone for a new one.

[Seamus Bartlett @ Mar 30th 2007 3:20PM]

Nokia will not be held responsible if you and/or a loved one rises from the dead as a zombie due to radiation levels found inside the NOKIA7250 branded coffin.

Legal Note: not intended for use by vampires and those already undead.

[Edwin Austin @ Mar 30th 2007 3:22PM]

STILL on hold.

[John Laur @ Mar 30th 2007 3:24PM]

Connecting People...to the afterlife?

[Todd @ Mar 30th 2007 3:29PM]

The RAZR coffin was to thin for Anna Nicole.

[Russell Heimlich @ Mar 30th 2007 3:36PM]

What??!? Couldn't they have waited just a couple of months for an iPhone coffin?

[Warren @ Mar 30th 2007 3:43PM]

For those of you with an open casket - there is a full sized QWERTY keyboard for texting friends!

[Stephan @ Mar 30th 2007 3:44PM]

Do you think he is compensating for something?

[JRAC @ Mar 30th 2007 3:45PM]

The silent ringer is a big hit at the funeral...

[Brett Seymour @ Mar 30th 2007 3:46PM]

This is what happens to people that end their contract early! They are owned by the carrier.

Does that say Cingular? Oh I guess Cingular is officially dead.

[Dontknowmuch @ Mar 30th 2007 3:53PM]

You're never too old for a Nokia!

[Carbonize @ Mar 30th 2007 3:54PM]

Here lie the bones of Arthur Jones.
His calls would break up often.
His widow MayBelle
Just couldn't tell
That he wanted something for his coughin'.

[fred @ Mar 30th 2007 4:16PM]

The reception is great, but if you go over your minutes the fees will KILL YOU!

It's one of those new 5 band phones, the new one connects to hell with a 300 baud data transfer rate.

[TheTick247 @ Mar 30th 2007 4:21PM]

"Can you hear me now?"

"After the fiery accident, his family opted for a candybar style ceremony instead of a clam-shell style."

" * - Bluetooth soul transfer feature deactivated by Verizon"

"No cell-phones in the hospital was bad enough, but no cell phones in heaven?"
