Are there any cell phones in steampunk literature?

Question

I was browsing through a book on steampunk themed crafts.  One of the crafts was decorating a cellphone case, which I thought was odd because I wasn't sure there were cell phones in steampunk.  But I haven't read much of the genre.  Are there any cell phones, or any type of portable phones, in any steampunk stories?

? · Accepted Answer

I've never read about cell phones in steampunk.  However, steampunk is also a style of decoration, so if you want to make a steampunk style phone case, have at it.

I'm pretty sure there are, but it doesn't matter, really. Pretty much can have a steampunk equivalent. can motorcycles or robots run on steam in real life? no, but they're awesome anyway http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Steampunk.jpg this is a good example.
