Impossible to translate directly, but "talatut" means something like "a tube to talk into" and it is very funny in Norwegian.
Mobile phone in Icelandic:
farsími
"far" is derived from "að fara", which means "to travel" (same origin as the word "to fare" in English or "zu fahren" in German) and "sími" means "phone". "Sími" was actually a word in Oldnorse which meant "a (long) connecting line" that had disappeared from modern Icelandic. But when the phone came to Iceland they decided that this old word could be used for this new invention.

Faroese (I forgot that):

The same explanation as in Icelandic.

depends on the meal of the caller; beans & onions would raise the volume, I presume..
