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.

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.

unless you are a star wars freak. don't buy this, it is too big and is just a waste of space.
