My Review
I recently had the opportunity to review the stylish, hip and unique VTech Retro Phone! This phone is amazing compared to those big, bulky cordless phones that take up tons of counter space. I just love how sleek and attractive it is and how it could fit anyone’s decor. This is such a great conversation piece and people are always drawn to it, wanting to know if it’s a real phone. I am also a fan of the rotary look and think the company did a fantastic job bringing it into a modern look. The phone is very light and sleek, it’s easy to keep at your ear and go hands free as a busy mom often doesn’t have time to keep her hands on a phone. Overall I am very impressed with the design and how they were able to take an old style phone, give it a modern look and still include all of the great features you find in cordless phones. This is simply a must have phone and I highly recommend it!
The design of this is so cool. I love anything retro! I like that it’s sleek and doesn’t take up the whole bedside table. They did a great job of mixing in the old with the new. Just gorgeous to look at, aside from it’s telephone capabilities!
i love this phone! i like that it has a screen on the base and the phone itself and i love the retro look. fits my style completely. i would love to own this phone even if i can’t win it!
This is awesome. I love all the different colors they have.
I love this phone….so cool and reminds me of the old rotary phones of when I was a child.
