Me too, especially on Amazon. However you might discount the 1-star reviews for the same reason as the 5-star ones. Give me a good 2-star rating any day--1s and 5s are easy but it takes thought to come up with a 2. ;)
Incidentally, I was thinking of replacing my old phone and started reading the negative reviews on Verizon's site. Apparently there's no such thing as a reliable phone that's good at making calls (wish somebody would invent one).
My grandparents had this old rotary dial phone, it was black (available in one color!), metal and heavy, really built like a tank. The dial itself was metal and hard to move, and the finger holes weren't beveled so they were sharp and it actually hurt a little to dial the phone.
Eventually they ordered some new service and Bell (remember?) made them turn in the phone.
