If plugger’s “pocket” is by the archaic (17th-century) definition also known as “purse” and used by both genders for carrying moneys; modern versions for both are greatly expanded: knapsack/laptop-bag for both genders, and handbag/purse for woman–aka “pocketbook” (nevermind, it’s not even archaic!)–then cellphone can be carried in pocket.
Set the waybak machine Sherman. 43 years ago StarTrek was on the air and they had this really cool communicator that was the size of a pack of cigarettes that let you talk to a starship in orbit, or talk to anyone that was close enough to use the ship as a relay point. But, all you could do was talk. And this was set 200 years in the future. Now, just 43 years later, or 200 or so years in their past we have devices that are much smaller in size, but you can talk to anyone in the world, or in oprbit, text, take and send pictures, surf the web, play music, and watch movies. Dick Tracey’s wrist TV communicator fit on his wrist, where will we wear our next communication device? Just a thought.

A cell phone is the only time a guy actually wants to brag that mine is smaller than yours.

Oooooo, I love his outfit. Red, blue and yellow always look so well, even swell, together.

Does the plugger’s phone even work? We had to upgrade our phones from analog to digital, so we don’t have the brick size anymore.

I remember having a “phone-in-a-bag” about 20 years ago. Now I don’t even carry a cellphone.
