Product Description

It's little, and it's lovely and you probably remember it in your sister's bedroom or at your mother's desk. The original desk phone was redesigned with this smart new look. The Princess, introduced in 1959, was compact and attractive. Featured in a variety or colors, including pastels, this unit had a smaller footprint to fit in those not-so-big spaces. With it's rounded edges, sleek lines and fashionable stylings it quickly became a favorite. Dimensions 8.5w x 3.75d x 4.25h. Color is yellow.

This is a fun phone. It is a design throw-back with the same true "ring" of it's day.

The only fault I can find is that the volume setting does not go as soft as I would prefer. This expels the placement of the device from the bedroom.

By the way - great yellow! Bright and upbeat.

This retro phone was purchased as a gift for my Princess (wife) at her request and really rang her bell! I must admit, it brings back memories for me as well. It is simple and straight-forward which is what was wanted. The ringing bell however seems out of synch with all the electroinic tones in the house.
It will also function as a land line in a power outage when all the wireless sets will not. Every home should have one.

The phone is adorable. Love the yellow. The sound is very good--I don't have to strain to hear with it. There is just enough weight to the phone to make it feel solid. Comfortable to use. Design is just a little different from the original, but still very cute. If I could change anything it would be these 2 things: (1) The cradle holds the receiver up a little bit. It takes some getting used to because at first you feel like the phone isn't sitting correctly. (2) When you push the buttons to dial, it makes a sharp noise in your ear, which is a little annoying. I hold it away from me when I dial. These are small things, and I am overall very happy with the phone.
