I see "handset" used in cell phone advertisements.

I wonder if the word is used correctly.

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
When I charge my phone it gives a message "Phone Charging, Handset is off", so I guess they have come to mean the same thing.

To me, a handset (or receiver) is the part of a telephone you lift to talk and listen. I'm a little behind the times, though.
