When I was young I idolized James Bond. He got to go on top-secret missions, had beautiful women and always got the bad guy. Most importantly though, Q always hooked him up with the best gadgets to use when out on assignment. While you won’t see most of the gear he used on the market these days, here is one device that’s worthy of 007. The CX-008 GSM SIM Card Spy Ear may have a strange name, but it would be most useful when you need to listen in on a conversation remotely.

What you’ll do with this little box is insert a (GSM) SIM card into the slot and hide it somewhere inconspicuous. When you’re ready to listen in you just call the number associated with the SIM card and you’re patched through to the box. The CX-008 is outfitted with three microphones which promise to pick up every incriminating detail. If you’re worried about hiding it somewhere that you can’t get to very often, you’ll be pleased to know that it can go up to 15 days in standby mode on a single charge. You can pick one of these up for $139.99. Just remember that you’ll need a valid (and active) SIM card to make this work.
