Andrew Luck has a new a flip phone! We repeat, ANDREW LUCK HAS A NEW FLIP PHONE!

The man with the most famous outdated cellular device in America has finally dipped into that new $140 million contract and upgraded.

The Colts quarterback broke the news to his Facebook followers with a photo of him holding the phone and a caption that said, "This is not a #TBT - Thanks to AT&T for hooking up the new phone! #FlipPhonesAreBack."

Best we can tell, Luck's new phone is an AT&T Cingular Flip, which retails for $59.99 at your local AT&T store. If you thought it might be a flip phone with smartphone features, you'd be wrong. It's a regular ol' flip, straight out of 2007 with call, text and a camera available — and that's about it.

Here are a few pictures of the phone from the AT&T store at the Circle Centre Mall.

The news isn't all good, though. Something terrible must have happened to Luck's old phone.

It was less than a month ago that Luck was quoted saying he saw no reason to ditch his old phone.

"The phone is still around," he said. "I like it. It’s a comfort thing. I think anybody can appreciate that, if you’re used to that."

Then, three weeks later, it's gone. What happened to the old phone? What happened, Andrew?!
