The Pantech<STRONG> </STRONG>A1407PT cell phone has a unique ability to let you listen. It allows you to listen to your calls with your bones.

The Pantech phone uses bone conduction; when the phone is placed against your jaw, the mechanical vibration from the phone is conducted to your inner ear, which responds normally. The result: you hear the other person on the phone perfectly.

A bone conduction cell phone has an additional advantage; it makes it easier to hear phone conversations in a noisy room. The sound is conducted directly to the inner ear (see <A href="http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=1256#model" linkindex="20"><U>model showing phone position</U></A>).

For a truly futuristic phone, just one more step is needed: attach the cell phone directly to the skull behind the ear, under the skin. This is what science fiction writer <A href="http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/AuthorTotalAlphaList.asp?AuNum=2" linkindex="21"><U>Robert Heinlein</U></A> suggested in his 1951 novel <EM>The Puppet Masters</EM>:
