Misguided technostalgia in the guise of a USB phone
By James Grahame
Dear anonymous USB phone producer somewhere in the Chinese Wild East: Please don't do this ever again.
A phone that looks like this should be made out silky-smooth Bakelite and hide a ringer will bells that can wake the dead. Sadly, this one probably serves up anemic digital versions of Beethoven and Yankee Doodle Dandy. A real phone also includes a dial that really dials, although you get kudos for awkwardly adding # and * buttons to the 'touchpad' on this charming little disaster.
There. I feel better now that's off my chest.
