Don't be fooled by the Banana Phone Bluetooth Handset for iPhone and Android Mobile Devices (Single Banana) - it's not nearly as "funny" or cool as it seems. Despite being advertised as a "Funny Gift, Serious Package," complete with a sleek black gift box to win your white elephant exchange, this banana-shaped contraption is nothing more than an eyesore.
The manufacturer boasts about its rechargeable micro USB cable, 10 hour talk time, 70 hour idle time and 30ft Bluetooth range - sounds impressive from the surface. But when you actually get down to trying out the device? It'll make you want to throw your phone at a wall in frustration. The connection is unreliable at best - think unstable sound quality that keeps cutting in and out every few seconds while speaking on calls. Plus there are far too many delays between pressing buttons and actions taking place on screen; you’ll have put up with plenty of lagging before ultimately giving up hope of ever having a smooth conversation using this handset.
The 'Bluetooth Speaker' feature isn't much better either; when playing songs through it they come out sounding shallow and muffled rather than anything remotely enjoyable or satisfying! And if that wasn't enough, once connected via Bluetooth to other devices like iPhones or Alexa one can expect even less from their audio experience since you won't be able access full voice assistant capabilities either - another major letdown considering how widely marketed that particular aspect was prior to purchase.
At least the fact that 1% of all sales are donated to Gearing Up 4 Gorillas does offer some consolation for those unfortunate enough to buy into what has become known as ‘the fruit phone’ scam... but trust me when I say still make sure you avoid wasting your money on such outlandish products unless you want something guaranteed take away any pleasure from talking on the phone!
