+wsgaskins Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 This will go perfectly with my Laptop coin! Looking forward to being able to buy and/or trade for these! Quote Link to comment
Maine Family Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I like this. I have been giving train set coins to kids as their first train set which are getting harder to find. Now I can give them their first cell phone and the colors are perfect. Love it and will be ordering them. Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I was just working on a coin for my 12 year old and it was very similar. I like the design. Might have to get a few. Quote Link to comment

+keewee Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Very cool. Have had to do that on several occasions Quote Link to comment
+Mama Cache Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have had to back for one or two or three million times to find one of these. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Oh this is great. I'll definitely want this one Quote Link to comment
+n8turgrl Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I really like this coin! I've had to phone a friend many times during a cache hunt!! We even had a cache where you had to phone in a number to get the next stage of coordinates. I'll keep an eye out for this one! Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Lifelines are pretty common around these parts but this will be the first time I'll come close to owning a cell phone. Cool idea. Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Since we cache and have alot of geocaching friends in Michigan we have a phone a friend phone list, there isnt one for Wisconsin is there? Were not aware of one. If there is would love to be added to it. We have used the phone a friend once or twice. Good idea to even have one just in case you get stuck or break down or anything happeneds, so you arent stranded while out geocaching. It is even a good idea that if you were caching in a certain area and you know that someone lives there you could even call them up to go geocaching with you, meet up for a drink or lunch or something as well. Always nice to maybe meet up with someone you dont know. Good way of making new Geocaching friends to just get together and share geocaching stories. Love the idea of this coin being made sweetlife Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Lifelines are pretty common around these parts but this will be the first time I'll come close to owning a cell phone. Cool idea. Wow.... and I thought I was a real die-hard. I finally gave in and got my first cell phone a little over 2 years ago. Now I've got a Palm Treo 755p smartphone. Quote Link to comment

I got mine just a little over a year ago, cancelled my landline cause the cell was cheaper, think I've only ever used all my minutes the 1st month I got it trying to figure it out and now I use it as an alarm clock. Some of my buddies get on my case for never calling but dang I hate talking on the phone. But looking forward to the coin, cause no worries about having to talk on it Edited March 17, 2008 by tsunrisebey Quote Link to comment
+Ble68 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Looks like someone beat me to it. Another cell phone coin different concept. Love it! Quote Link to comment

+The Amigos Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Wow.... and I thought I was a real die-hard. I finally gave in and got my first cell phone a little over 2 years ago. Now I've got a Palm Treo 755p smartphone. I have a SmartPhone, also, but it's not so smart! It won't change times to keep up with Daylight Savings Time! It's still an hour behind, and I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of to fix it, to no avail! Any answers? By the Way, cool coin, love the PINK!! Quote Link to comment
+Rubiconlwb Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 WOW Cant wait to post pic of coins in hand. These are great!! I'm looking forward to pics, I think it is going to be a great coin and as you know I want a couple.

Same happened here a couple of years ago, but last year they were more on the ball... will the be on the ball in a couple of week though - that is the question! Quote Link to comment
+kimba off track Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Glad you all like the phone. We fixed a few little things and getting minted as I write this. Wish I was good at posting pic's ,sorry !!! Quote Link to comment
+Nurse Nanna Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I am so very broke right now, it's not even funny. But this one is so very cute. I hope that I can get my hands on one at some point. Love the blue. I've had the same phone for over 5 years now and it's getting harder to get it to work lately. Hoping for a smartphone in the near future. If I have to upgrade I want to get one I will really get a lot of use out of. Love the phone a friend list, and have used it to save the gas money on more than a few occasions. When is is going to be available? Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Can you hear me now Any word as to when these will be here and price? Quote Link to comment
+dardevle Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'll be trying to get ahold of one of these coins. Maybe one of each. That way my daughter can have one. I missed out on the "other" hinged coin so I hope I get a chance to get this one. Looks very nice. Great job, can not wait to see actual picture. Quote Link to comment
+Mama Cache Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Here are a couple of the sample coins. They all look fantastic! Look for them early June. Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Wow - they do look great! Will they come with snap on face plates? A belt pouch? Charger? Do they have BT? WGS84 Datum or NAD27? Quote Link to comment

Hope to have a few $$$ in paypal by the time these go on sale...and I hope you made plenty for all of us! Side note...THANKS Kimba....your donation for our event arrived a few days ago! GREAT COINS!!

Hogwild Stuff Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 These coins will be up for sale this week. We are expecting pandemonium on the Hogwild Site for these. In order to bring some sanity. They will be sold in two waves: One tomorrow, around 5:00 pm PDT and likely the 2nd wave on July 4. Approximately 1/2 of the available coins will be sold. There will be 5 flavors offered. 1. Black with glitter with a gold finish 2. Blue with a nickel finish 3. Red with a nickel finish 4. A totally blingy phone that is pink glitter on black nickel 5. Hot Pink LE (100 coins made) - These will not be available for a couple of weeks because the factory blew it on one of the colors (that is the bad news) They will be sold in sets with the error coin and the good coin (the good news). If the timing is right these may be first offered at MWGB. Some photos to tease: Coin Stats: Size: 2.13 inches tall (including antenna) 1.75 inches without antenna / .95 inch wide / over 6.00 mm thick closed. Tracking: of course with a unique icon. Price: Not quite finalized yet, but looks like between $11-$12.50 each and probably $15-16 for the 2 coin LE set. Quote Link to comment
