I remember having one of these as a child so when my child opened this present on his 1st birthday i was plensantly surprised.
The phone is plastic and lightweight so easy for my child to carry around. My child is nearly 3 now and still plays with this. It is funny to hear him using his imagination when having his pretend conversations with various people.
If there is one negative thing i would say is that the cord that the child uses to pull the phone is quite short so i dont really see the point in it. I dont remember the cord being that short as a child however it has been 25 years since i had this toy so i can't say either way.
It is also funny how this phone features as one of the characters in Toy Story 3 as my child gets excited that he has one of the less obvious characters in the film (as a toy)
