Product Description:
The Crosley 302 Phone returns to the wall in this Henry Dreyfuss tribute. Dreyfuss, considered a brilliant industrial designer, worked with Bell Telephone Laboratories designing telephones that were sensitive to consumers' desire to suit a variety of home environments. Well known for the 302 style Desk Phone, he later shifted his design efforts to include this wall unit allowing consumers to walk with the phone while cradling it on their shoulder. This unified and balanced form replaced the awkward and ungainly shapes of earlier models. Would you believe Dreyfuss actually used measurements from over 2000 faces to determine the distance between the average mouth and ear? The Crosley 302 Wall Phone features the nostalgic rotary dial but actually functions with push button technology. No more waiting for that rotary dial to make its excruciating slow rotation.

- Bad phone!
I purchased this phone because I loved the vintage look and it went perfect with my kitchen.After 4 weeks I noticed that every time I went to use the phone the person on the other end could not hear me.At first I thought it was the cord so I bought a new one, only to discover it was not the cord, it was the receiver.My husband took it apart to see if he could fix it and nothing.I was so disappointed.I called the company who makes the phone and am now waiting for one of their technicians ...

- Great Phone... For A While
I LOVE this phone... it looks great, it rings just like the old-fashioned phones, and works great FOR AWHILE.I'm on my 4th phone (yes, I'm an idiot, I keep re-buying the same phone again and again... it's about the only one like this on the market) and the exact same thing has happened with every phone.It works great for about 2 months and then one day suddenly the buttons stop working.It can still receive calls, but you can't call out since you can't dial.At first I thought it was a fluke, ...

Rating: - Nice, but ...
I bought this phone to add a bit of charm to my kitchen. It has a good ring and looks nice. Problems I have are two:
1. The handset is not suitable to use your shoulder to hold it to your ear while you use both hands to do something. The handset is not flat on the back but has a triangular shape, so it slips off the shoulder quite readily.
2. The cord is not modular on the handset and a wire broke inside within 1 month of owning it. This made the phone useless. All I can use it for now is ... Read More

- Don't buy a longer cord for this!
I like this phone, have had lots of positive comments. The ring is not quite as expected, but fits the phone, although a little loud even on lowest setting. I purchased a longer cord (it is offered as a set with the two together)thinking the one included would not be long enough. It is PLENTY long and very sturdy! In addition, it is not possible to change out the cord. I sent back the cord I purchased as the "buy them both" offer, but was not given a refund for it when I sent it back!! The push buttons ...

- Looks nice; sounds good; feels cheap
I was replacing a similar looking but overpriced item from Pottery Barn and found this. The price is better and it looks nice. The phone audio is very good. While the handle has a nice feel to it, the body just feels cheap and the ringer is anemic.Still, it does the job and it definitely looks good on the wall.
