It was slightly used but was repacked in it's plastic box with instructions. I was looking up about the phone and came across you site. Now don’t know how many people would think the phone itself looked that much like “a giant wang". Also in the store the phone was displayed round end up in a clear hard plastic box. However on display in the store, the phone looked like a phallic symbol for another reason. The display box my phone was packed in has straight sides except they expanded the width at the very top using a sort of mushroom curved shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852742.post-76617829654614456372010-10-31T01:18:02.539-04:002010-10-31T01:18:02.539-04:00I have to add my two cents' worth.

I'd buy another one.

I recall leaving the store and thinking I should have bought more. I looved it and used it for at least ten years. The sound quality was great. Thne it died. There is a beat up on on Ebay today 1/13/2010, but I'll pass on itUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828554539200212789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852742.post-10804097283042257512009-08-12T19:10:09.079-04:002009-08-12T19:10:09.079-04:00I have a Swisstel and it is indeed a great phone. ...I have a Swisstel and it is indeed a great phone.

Still works fantastic, I think it was quite well-made. When I travel to Rome I pack it [takes up no space] along with my MagicJack and laptop and bam. Free calls back to the US. BTW mine is a dull pink with a dialog balloon pointing to the speaker, a la Roy Leichtenstein. PS The Swiss are responsible for Swatch. So I think taking that aesthetic to the phone is not such a stretch.

Truly an underdeveloped field of research. I feel a thesis paper coming on! I think the poster of winking Swiss grandpa using the exploding wang phone reaches apotheosis of Swiss graphic design.Drewhttp://www.drewmcdermott.comnoreply@blogger.com
