Cellphone Gun Looks A Tad Outdated

You know, this is a sweet mockup or whatever, but I’ve got a few issues with said cellphone gun. First off, it appears to be using a Nokia from 1998. Where is the functionality in that?

When driving in New Jersey, you’ll notice one thing: no driver follows the cellphone law. I try to, but I usually find fiddling with a headset and a phone much more distracting than operating just the phone itself. New Jersey is not the garden state, it’s the motor state.
