This was my chance to have a "real" princess phone. Ever since I was a little girl with a "play" pink princess phone, I have wanted one. When the phone in my bedroom went out and I just happened upon this one, I was ecstatic. I absolutely love it - pretty and functional. All the Crosley products I have are so well made.
This phone is so much nicer than the new high-tech gadget phones especially in a room with shades of pink~ It works very well. The only drawback for me is that the cord is on the left side which makes it harder to pick it up since I'm to the right of it. But it's a minor detail.
I ordered this wonderfully pink Crosley phone as a surprise present for my mother who has cancer. If anyone from Crosley's reading this, would you please let us consumers know more about this. Now whether this has anything to do with the cancer warning is anyone's guess, but this has caused great concern in our household and I dared not place it my mother's bedside let alone anywhere in the house.A great shame that manufacturers use cancer-causing chemicals in their products that we have to bear the risk as consumers.
Well, the phone came very nicely wrapped, but as we were excitedly unpacking and installing it in the phone socket, a sticker on the phone box caught our attention. But and this is an elephantine BUT, it's just not worth it if it contains cancer-causing chemicals. I also knew it would also fit my mother's small bedside table beautifully and she'd have a ball using it.
Crosley ought to have (1) been more forthcoming in exactly what sort of chemical's present in their phones that warrants such a warning, how it causes cancer during phone usage or (2) eradicate the use of such chemicals in their production facilities entirely.The phone's a lovely colour, the features are fine, and it's a heavy, solid phone. it was a Warning label that read: This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other reproductive harm. Further checks of the phone found it was made in China.
This is the last phone I'm getting from Crosley. We have our own rights and are entitled to know as consumers.
I purchased this for my 92 year old mother, she loves it and she can work with it because it is so simple. Loves the look and color. Made very very very well
I can't talk on it when there is any other noise in the room. I just received my Crosley Radio CR59-PI Princess Phone. I am somewhat disappointed because the volume on the receiver is quite low, even though I have it set on high. I do love the looks of it and have wanted a princess phone for years. I just wish with technology what it is today, that I could have more control over the volume.
