As cell phones get ever smaller, the tactile joy of talking into a solid ergonomic handset with easy-to-hear sound quality is quickly becoming a fond memory. Use this Novophone handset to talk on the go without sacrificing style and comfort. The authentic coiled wire is long enough to let your cell sit comfortably in your pocket while you talk. The slightly retro handset plugs into most standard 2 1/2-millimeter cell phone headset jacks and lets you chat comfortably while turning heads. Plugs into standard 2.5 mm mobile phone headset jack, including all LG, Blackberry and Motorola phones. Does not work with Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung or Siemens. Made in China and assembled in the USA.

Funny, Cool and decent quality

"Once I opened the product, my world has changed. It is a very good conversation starter, and actually comfortable to use as long as you are OK with the big size and heavier weight (compare to other regular headset). The audio quality is usable. It is not the top of the line... it's about $30 bluetooth headset quality... So don't buy it for the audio quality. The first day I got this... I decided to bring it ..." Read Full Review »

cool idea - doesn't quite work

"I love the idea, but it needs an adapter to work with pretty much any of the latest phones as far as I can tell. I didn't realize that all the new phones are using 3.5 mm stereo + mic jacks these days. This wants to plug into a 2.5 mm mono (I think) jack. I'm working on finding, or making, an adapter to try to get it to work. Their website is pretty lacking and I can't find an adapter in either [...] If som..." Read Full Review »

"I love the design of this, it's quite a conversation starter. However, although it says it fits Blackberries and Motorola phones, it fit neither. I have a BB Pearl and Motorola Razr, the jack didn't work with either. The sound was kind of fuzzy too and there was a delay in the transmission. "

"This handset has made my life easier while working in my office.

    Best Uses

  • Long Talks
  • Upping your cool factor
 

"This phone is great for long chats, and will make you feel like it's the 80's again. The sound quality is slightly lower than just using your cell phone, but you look so darn cool using it. It's ergonomic and keeps the cell phone waves farther from your brain. "
