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.

Summary: JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!
Comment: THIS WALL PHONE IS GREAT!! STYLISH, SLEEK AND FITS IN PERFECTLY WITH MY STAINLESS ACCENTS! THE RINGER IS EVEN THE PERFECT VOLUME! THE ONE AND ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CAN'T HOLD THE PHONE BETWEEN YOU CHEEK AND SHOULDER BECAUSE IT SLIDES OFF BUT THATS NO BIG DEAL! EVERYONE COMPLIMENTS HOW UNIQUE IT IS! IF I HAD 2 KITCHENS I'D BUY ANOTHER ONE!!

Summary: Bad phone!
Comment: 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 to decide whether its a product malfunction in order to send me a replacement. Do not buy this phone, for the cost it is not worth it!

Summary: Great Phone... For A While
Comment: 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, but all four phones I've purchased have done the exact same thing.

Summary: Nice, but . . .
Comment: 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 to ring.
Bad choice of wiring design, modular on both ends would have been a better choice.

Summary: Don't buy a longer cord for this!
Comment: 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 take some getting used to, since they are in a circle layout rather than the usual square layout. Very sturdy phone all around, and will not easily be bumped off the wall, which was the biggest problem with my other phone.
