Even at the time of Ericsson Dialog (standard issue phone around here from 1960's to 1980's) it was not comfortable to hold the phone for a long time.
First of all, just to keep your hand raised up for an extended period of time is tiring. Even without any weight. (Modern phones are actually lighter than the Dialog handle was. )
Secondly, for many people, it is not convenient to touch the ear for a long time with any object.
- tacostakohashi 10y agoYeah, I can't abide using an actual handset for more than the shortest calls, a headset is so much better - for a landline, or even a mobile.
- ptaipale 10y agoThat works for many people, but I couldn't wear a headset all day, either. Somehow burns my ears after a while. A speakerphone is my choice. Of course, at works that requires I have my own office room, not open office...
