Strange 1928 mobile phone?

It claims to show a 'Time Traveller' in a Charlie Chaplin film using a mobile phone

 

This seems to be getting loads of hits on youtube recently and after I watched it I was a little confused

 

Now I dont believe for a second its a time traveller, but its still strange

 

Skip to 2:38 if you want to skip the intro

Probably just a publicity stunt. The woman was probably covering her face from the cameras whilst saying something to her mate. Like someone mentioned earlier, there were no masts at all back then so unless she is speaking to someone from the future via some inter-space blackhole timebend whatyacallit its a hoax!

Yep exactly what I thought, Plus im sure passers by would wonder what she/he was doing with some amazing new technology and not even batter an eye lid :blink:

 

Why would they 'batter' their eyelids?

 

I mean, I've heard of battering Mars Bars, but I don't think anyone had even thought of Mars Bars back then either. Interesting idea though...

 

;)
