Western Electric Handset
Posted by: Sierra Monica B. in Gadgets

Let me show you a cool gadget inspired by the retro style! Who knows, you might like it, but not because it is practical as it isn’t. The 2 retro phone handsets inspired by the Western Electric phones look the same but they have different functionality and are provided by ThinkGeek.com.

One connects to your mobile phone via a retro-styled curly cable using a 2.5 mm jack and to answer or end your calls you have to press the button located on the handset. It doesn’t require batteries and you can make handsfree connections via an adapter kit. It even works with the iPhone.
The other looks the same, imitating the Western Electric phones look, but it can be used cordless as it features Bluetooth wireless technology.

This model charges via USB and you can use it to receive and make calls keeping it at maximum 30 feet range away from your cell phone.
It has a blue LED indicator to let you know when it is On or Off and brings with the USB cable and instructions manual.
