Woman in Movie from 1928 using Cell Phone?

[televisionarchives]

I don't believe it . Looks like a hearing aid to me. What makes me laugh is some of the post on youtube. Let's just say she goes back in time and this is a cell phone. She couldn't use it anyway . So why would she be trying to?

A more realistic answer is the woman is holding an icepack to her sore gums while trying to keep her dentures from falling out...dentistry nor Polygrip were perfected back then. But wait, that looks like that man-lady is holding an EVO. Still...it's creepy and it certainly does look like she is talking on a cell phone. I can't wait to read the comments from the peanut gallery.

What really upsets me is how people are now laughing at time travel just because they don't have a time machine like I do. Oh, the lottery numbers for the next Saturday drawing are

Well, the best answer I've heard is the device is a 1920's style hearing-aid like the following Siemens model, circa 1924. http://hearing.siemens.com/ca/10-about-us/01-our-history/milestones.jsp?year=1924

Yeah. I think it's that as well.

Come on,if they can put cell towers on Mt. Everest,surely they can solve the problems of using cell phones during time travel.
