    For those that have really been into Star Trek, the idea of owning a phone that looks like a communicator is most likely something they've all thought of.  Who wouldn't want to be able to say into one, "I'm....James....T....Kirk" or "Beam me up, Scotty.  Energize"?  TC Games is announcing that a company has made a Star Trek Communicator that will be available for purchase.

    Great, right?  Except, it won't be a regular phone.  It'll be a computer USB phone that needs to be plugged into your computer in order to use.  You can use it with services such as Skype or VoIP.  It will have a speaker phone option but it's still not the same.  Perhaps someday you'll be able to walk down the street carrying one. 

    This phone is due out in April (supposedly).  No price has been mentioned yet.

    I don't see why they can't make a cell phone that looks like the communicator. The cell phones these days are of similar design anyway. I wouldn't want a silly flip communicator anyway. I want a Com Badge. I am a Next Generation girl. If Bluetooth could make one of their devices work as a com badge I would be all over it.

    Really?  Are you talking about the ones that look like an old car lighter?
