Just because it's cheap, it doesn't mean it has to be retarded



This was the un-politically correct rant I heard from Ax when he knocked over the stupid phone for the millionth time. Is it really that bad? The short answer is yes. The long answer is described pictorally below:

1. It doesn't stay in its cradle. Because the little hook is too little to keep the handset in place. This makes it a) easy to knock off (and crash on the floor) and b) hard to hang up properly.



2. The number buttons are on the OUTSIDE...not on the cradle, not on the inside of the handset. This means that a) you can't hold it properly because the buttons take the room for the comfortable, natural part your hand would go on and b) you can't use your shoulder to hold the phone while using both hands because you press all of the buttons or hang up.








Lesson learned. 15 euros is still cheap in this country. So spend 30 euros and you'll get a phone that isn't so annoying to talk on.
