Great bit of kit
Its supprising to find out how much you miss a conventional hand set, you don't know it until you get hold of one again. Great to use in the office and car (when stationary). I can thoroughly recommend it

Retro handset
I bought the retro handset for a friend who is visually impaired, she has a Nokia E7 which has Talks software on it to read messages etc. (Nokia being about the only phone that allows this - I wouldn't buy a Nokia myself). The website states that it is compatable with the E7 but I am having trouble getting the phone to see it as a headset and not the default headphone, that might just be the rubbish Symbian software on the phone; It works without having to do anything on my Samsung Wave 723. The handset itself is good quality. Mobile Fun delivered the order promptly and sent me a text to say it had been despatched.

Fun, functional & just like olden times!
Hey kids, relive your dad's 1992 mobile/carphone! Simply attach this, and a brick, to your iphone, then talk for ten minutes and charge for five hours!
Seriously, this is a great product particularly if you actually like using the (very) old style of telephone, and the clarity and functionality is excellent. I'd recommend for the reasons in the title.

Best laugh this Xmas
Got a old blackberry phone that is really fussy with Bluetooth headsets. Got this to use as a genuine connection to my phone. But talking on a retro phone handset with the coiled lead leading to your pocket was a scream at the Xmas party. Everybody had to try it. On the practical side it's clear voice and ideal if you use your phone a lot while sitting. Would not work on my Sony Expedia though. I realy like it.

Gimmick - yes, useless no!
Many may laugh about actually using this, but it really is a good value for money purchase and has a hidden benefit - it protects from mobile phone radiation.
Whilst corded headsets and blue tooth types are touted as being a good way of reducing radiation exposure to the head, they both nevertheless can expose the user to controversial low level radio waves which can cause health problems, via the cord and the radio waves produced direct into the ear by Bluetooth.
These levels are very low, but there is still the risk for long term and ehavy users.
The Retro Phone Handsfree Kit ofcourse does not, as the source of the radiation, the mobile phone, is well away from the head of the user, and the cable is enclosed in a thick ear piece and is therefore several inches from the head.
Ideal for long calls, which increases radiation exposure when using the mobile phone in traditional way; this handset provides comfort as well as protection.
Whilst I have seen someone in town walking along whilst talking using on of these Retro Phone Handsfree handsets, I wouldn't particularly use it for this.
I bought this for my wife so she can call her family members on mobiles and speak for normal periods without discomfort and my worrying about radiation exposure.
Excellent, yet quirky, and even hillarious; this is at least a talking point amongst friends. (No pun intended!)

Wacky but Fun
This was bought for my son-in-law who is a gadget geek and he loves it. Answering the phone in retro style suits his sense of fun and makes everyone in the office smile

Great Fun
Bought this for as a prezzie for me as a novelty - actually works really well. Bit strange considering all the bluetooth stuff around that this kit is preferable under my chin! Takes me back to the 80s - They'll bring back smoking in the office next!

Funny Product
I was bought this by my son because I'm rubbish with working mobile phones. It was a good laugh and although I wouldn't use it with my mobile phone I have been shown how to use it with skype which is useful for me.

Quality Phone Kit
If only I could replace my desk phone reciever with this kit it would make my job so much better as im constantly using my desk phone. Makes mobile use easier as I have to look up stuff while I chat to customers in my job. Used to divert my mobile calls to my desk phone, not any more! well worth £15.
