quality speaker and microphone. Now,
okay. As a bit of a skeptic, I originally looked at this and
I went, why? Really, why? That's what I said.
But I thought about it for a little while longer and I figured it out. So,
at a reasonable enough price point, all of a sudden, this isn't the
kind of thing I would buy for myself. Don't get me wrong, I would not buy this
for myself, but I might buy one as a stocking stuffer.
Let's say you've got a a little niece. Let's say she's, you know, 12 or 13, 14,
15, 16, until, I don't know, the end of time, whenever girls stop yaking on the
phone. Um, and she talks on the phone a lot.
Well, it used to be that as soon as you hit around 11 or 12 as a girl, you got a
you got a phone in your room and you tied up the line endlessly and everyone
got annoyed. Well, now 12-year-olds are getting cell phones. I mean, this I
don't know if you've ever like sat and talked on an iPhone for an hour. I have.
Your ear like hurts after. It's not comfortable. So, that's what this is
for. This is the replacement for adding the phone in the
room. This isn't the kind of thing you carry around with you. That would be
ridiculous. But what you do is you use
it like like I actually had a phone that had a receiver like this when I when I
was young. And I'm probably the last generation that will actually remember phones that looked like this. But but
this this is what it's all about. So you plug that in there. Your phone sits on
the bed next to you and you like, you know, you sit and gab and you know touch
your ankles together with your girlfriends. You you can actually hold
it like this. Remember when you could hold a phone with your shoulder and you
could you could do something else like unbox the black version while you're
actually talking on the phone to somebody and Yeah. Remember what she
said? I remember what she said. Do you remember what he said when she said
that? Yeah, I remember that. So, you can actually have your senseless,
meaningless conversation while you're doing something meaningful like unboxing
another color of exactly the same product in the same episode of Linus
Tech Tips for the sake
of completeness. In fact, you can even
talk on two phones. No, you can't talk on two phones at once, but that's what
it's for. Okay, here's the button for the hangup. and uh and pick up. Okay.
It's got kind of a Native Union logo on there. It's got like a like well they
were quite what do they describe it as? Um luxurious soft touch paint finish. So
I would describe that as as a matte fingerprint resistant finish. It's also
going to be quite scratch resistant. So I mean think about how something like
this is going to get treated. You know you're talking on the phone on it.
You're you're done. You unplug it. You know you check it over on the nightstand
or whatever the case may be. That's how something like this is going to get treated by the intended audience. Let's
have a look at what the actual range of it is. So, if I could actually just get
my cameraman to take one of his hands and hold that. I'm just going to kind of
wander over here and I'm going to show you guys. Oh, it's actually very
flexible. So, yeah. Actually, you know what? I'm going to tell you guys a funny
little anecdote. It's not really to do with this. I'm pretty much done my unboxing now. This is the Native Union
Moshi Moshi. Comes with a couple stickers. Comes with a little
instruction manual, which I certainly hope you won't need. But here here's
kind of a funny anecdote along the lines of remember when phones looked like
this. So my little brother had a friend come over to my parents house. Uh this
must have been about six months ago. And uh he asked to use the phone and my
parents are kind of leites. They don't they don't have technology. I mean I
have to I have to spell everything out for them. They wouldn't even have a wireless network if I didn't set it up
and maintain it for them and key in all the passwords. Like they're just they're
hopeless. Anyway, so his friend comes
from a family that, you know, believes in technology. Like, they don't even have call waiting. Like, they don't have
caller ID. They have nothing. They have a phone line. And I'm just
like, it took my mom until about 3 months ago to get a cell phone. Nobody
in my house had a cell phone. It's like and and like they they'd leave the phone
off the hook. Oh, yeah. I'll go get that person for you. They'd forget and walk away. And the phone would be busy for
like 2 days at a time. And I'm just like, I've been trying to call you for 2
days. How am I supposed to reach you anyway? All right. totally unrelated,
tangential. So his friend comes over and asks to use the phone and my mom says to
him, "Yeah, sure. It's over there." And he goes over and uh he so he so he picks
up the phone. This is not not like this kind of phone, but it's an actual phone
like with a receiver. He picks it up and he he calls his parents. He asks if he can stay the night and he puts it back
and he goes and he turns to my mom and he says,
"Wow, that's so smart. your phone is
actually attached to the base station so you don't lose
it. And my mom just looks at him and goes, "Yeah, that's a feature." All
right. Anyway, thank you for watching this episode of Linus Tech. True story,
