US Basic Miami Telephone (Black)

Rating:
Summary: Nice Looking, Horrible to Handle
Review: I wanted something retro for my living room and picked this phone. It looks great. Unfortunately, the positives end there. The receiver handle is poorly designed. The top edge (where your palm grips around it) is a very hard and sharp. My hand goes to sleep within five minutes every time I use it because it hits the nerves in my hand so hard. (Forget holding this phone between your shoulder and ear...) Also, the the silver trim on the mouth and ear pieces on the receiver are not tight, so you end up with lots of noise if you move the phone while you talk. Also, the cord between the base and receiver is so short that you can barely stand if you have the phone on a table and want to use it. All in all, a huge disappointment for something that really does LOOK cool.
