The new Star Trek Communicator Phones strongly resemble the devices featured on the original sci-fi television show, although they will be slightly smaller, said Marie Wiese, vice president of marketing for Sona Mobile, a mobile software company partnering with Viacom Consumer Products to sell the phones.

The features include instant "Star Trek" community message boards and an interactive game called Fleetwars. A Trekkie will even be able to download any "Star Trek" episode in streaming video on demand. "I think it's obviously a natural," said Gary Berman, organizer of the Official Fourth Annual Star Trek Las Vegas Convention that began Thursday. "It's interesting that tech is catching up with what we have seen in the '60s."
