Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of AT&T 1909 Corded Phone, White, 1 Handset
Customer Review: Very Poorly Designed.
Summary: 1 Stars
Very poorly designed. When you hold the receiver in your right hand, in a way that is natural for the average person, your fingers automatically hit the buttons they inconveniently placed on the outer side of the receiver. I was on the phone and hit the flash button repeatedly even though I was well aware the button was there and was trying to avoid it. You can't avoid it unless you want to put your hand in a very odd position, and get cramps. No kidding. In order to hold the receiver and not hit the flash button you have to cramp up your hand into an odd position and hope you don't drop the phone.
And you cannot place the phone on your shoulder to hold it, if you temporarily need to use both hands for something else. And, for those of us who still use an attachable shoulder cradle (a.k.a. shoulder rest), you cannot attach it to this phone due to the buttons on the outside of the receiver.
I don't want to be mean, but honestly, the person who designed this phone should be fired.
Outgoing sound was bad - the person I was talking to reported a hissing noise.
Incoming sound was actually good, but that does not make up for the fact that holding the phone, what should be the simplest thing to do, can't be done comfortably.
And just as an FYI - I've tried them all; VTECH 265, ATT 265, and ATT 1909
AT&T 265 - Trimline Telephone with Caller ID & Call Waiting
VTECH COMMUNICATIONS INC 265 WHT Trimline Telephone
and they are all the same design - don't get any of these if you want to be able to comfortably hold the phone, let it rest on your shoulder, or use a shoulder cradle (a.k.a. shoulder rest). See my photos of this ATT 1909 for an example of what I mean.
If you want a very simple corded phone I can tell you the ATT Trimline 230 has worked well for me for about 20 years. The 230 model is now called the AT&T Corded Trimline Phone with 13-Number Memory (210), slightly modified. I've just ordered some 210s, for my MagicJacks, and I'll be sure to review them, to see if they are as good as the 230s use to be.
