Silver Spring, MD | perhaps everyone will want a phone booth now Those of you from Milwaukee (or who have visited) will remember The Safe House bar. It is a spy-theme based bar with lots of retro James Bond paraphernalia. One of the gimmicks they have in the bar is a phone booth that lets you select the background noise of your choice.
If you want to sound like you are calling from the airport, the floor of the NYSE, the harbor docks, etc., simply make your selection before calling.
Perhaps hand held video phone users will pay to duck into a phone booth that makes it look like they are calling from the hospital, or the grocery store, or some other mundane place.

There was a bar/restaurant similar to that in the San Francisco area, though I do not know where exactly it was. It was a British spy theme, complete with hidden passages, a couple booths that would spin to make you look like you left the table, mirrors that would let you look at other people while they ate.
Pretty kewl place, but I do not think it caught on.
Back to the Topic... Being in California, and seeing the obsession people have with talking on the phone while driving, and most of the time without a headset, I think video cell phones are a profoundly bad idea. Granted, there are people you use cell phones and drive safely... with their headset, but I see too many people that do not... add the ability to watch the person while driving... that it... accidents galore!
