Review: Un rêve - Enchanté
Review: This certainly rings my bell! - When this phone rings it will take your mind to a bygone era, old black and white classic movies, illusions of being somewhere else in time before picking up the handset to answer the call. If you buy this phone only for that evocative bell ringing sound it will be worth it. This retro type telephone is a little gem. I wanted this style of phone for my little office/study room and it looks just right with my blend of modern and old paraphernalia. The plastic material this phone is made from,I ordered it in black,is a shiny gloss finish so if you are looking for a matt finish only this may not be what you will have in mind. Mine sits proudly on my desk next to a computer screen and printer that are both in the popular shiny gloss black finish of many of today's modern electronic gadgets so it actually blends in very well with these. The style of this phone both contrasts with and compliments these present day gadgets. The phone is practical, with push button numbers in the illusory rotary dial frontpiece. The numbers seem to be set back into the rotary dial but this is only an optical illusion as on closer inspection they actually come just above the dial plate. The buttons are simple to use and you hear a touch tone sound in the ear phone when you press each number. There are star and hash buttons in the 'dial' as well so the phone is practical for all the normal calls you wish to make. Of course if you want to go the full retro experience you could always go for the more expensive rotary dial model. However, the push button one here offers a quicker and easier way of making calls so is a better practical compromise if you make a lot of calls. There is a very handy little pull out drawer in the base that you can keep a little note book or list of telephone numbers, the old fashion equivalent of memory storage on modern phones. As you will keep your phone numbers in this drawer they will not get lost compared to keeping them in a separate address/phone book. When the phone arrived in a large package I thought like another reviewer that it was lightweight. However, on unpacking and setting it up it turned out to be more substantial than I first thought and feels solid and secure on my desk, so no worries about that. The phone really was just an unpack and plug in, working straight away with no problems. The sound quality for incoming calls is fine and there are no problems with listeners hearing you speaking. You will be interested in this phone for its retro and appearance qualities. Don't expect a modern phone with all the bells and whistles. You get the bells alright! but for 'whistles' you will have to go for today's models. Well done desertcart and Royal Mail. Ordered on a Saturday, dispatched on Sunday and received on Tuesday,and this with free postage and packing. Top marks all round.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Super tolles Design, aber...
*by T***A on 26 March 2013*

... das Mikrofon ist sehr leise eingestellt, mir wurde schon oft gesagt, dass man mich kaum hört. Jetzt hat sich auch noch ein leises Rauschen eingestellt.. Mal abwarten, wie sich das noch entwickelt. Ansonsten, die mechanische Klingel funktioniert, manchmal auch wenn man gerade aufgelegt hat und gar nicht angerufen wird!? Die Tasten sind gut verarbeitet. Alles in allem bin ich trotzdem zufrieden.
