Back in the day when phones of this style were the only ones available we learned to hold the handset between our shoulder and our ear, leaving both hands free for other things.

That was one of the things they considered when they designed phones. A lot of money was spent on ergonomics getting this "right". Of course we now know a lot more about ergonomics today, but they did the best they could and did a great job considering.
