Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

R2D2, the adorable electronic companion featured in the Star Wars films, now appears on your desk as a great novelty telephone. Dispelling the myth that phones are merely functional, R2D2 moves his head when the phone rings, lights up, and emits sound effects. This is a must for any serious Star Wars fanatic.

Fun as it is, the R2D2 phone also comes with all the expected features. Using its comfortable handset, you can easily choose tone or pulse dialing; and Telemania built the last-number redial into the design of the robot, completing this functional collectible. R2D2 appears in his usual brilliant white, blue, and silver finish with strong attention to detail. Approximately 12 by 7 by 7 inches, the phone runs on ordinary D alkaline batteries (not included). FCC and ETL approved, Telemania provides a limited one-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For Any Star Wars Fanatic!, September 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Telemania Star Wars R2D2 Novelty Phone (Office Product)
This phone really does sound and look like R2D2; when it rings his head turns and lights up and he makes the classic R2 beeps and chirps that are easily recognizable. The handset is comfortable against your ear and the sound quality is as good as any traditional phone. One minor drawback is that the cord to the handset is too short so you have to sit right near the phone to use it. However, that's easily corrected by picking up a longer cord at any electronics store. Unfortunately for me, the phone was banished to the basement by my wife as it doesn't fit the decor of the rest of our house.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good as a novelty - terrible as a phone, November 30, 2000
This review is from: Telemania Star Wars R2D2 Novelty Phone (Office Product)
I picked this up a couple years ago. While it looks great for decoration, its a horrendous phone. The phone cord the unit comes with is ridulously small and plugs in the back of R2. You won't be able to walk a foot away from R2 without dragging him along. The phone handset itself is awful as well. The shape is completely flat and uncomfortable due to it being his arm. The buttons are no better as they are incredibly small. Overall - this thing makes a good piece of decoration but as a phone, it's junk.
