My B&O landline telephone in ~~1982~~ 1985. Didn't really pan out.

[–] Geist_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so you don't have it anymore? or it's just unused?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't used it for 15+ years, so when we moved 5 years ago, I finally threw it out.

It was an amazing phone, super light handset, and superior sound compared to other phones, plus it was a very modern design.

huh. Still looks pretty modern indeed. It's got that 70s-80s unashamed flashy coloring vibe to it, I like it. B&O is a pretty nice brand,... when you have the money... :)

I agree it's normally too expensive for my taste too. But here all phones were expensive anyway at the time, because there were only a few brands that cared to have their phones approved for sale in Denmark. $100 USD was the absolute cheapest you could get that was legal, this cost about $200-250.
