Bruin Realistic Play Phone

How you use the product: I gave this to my son so he would stop playing with my phone. This is a good distraction while I change my baby's diapers.
Things that are great about it: I like how durable it is and how each number has its button and it makes beeping noises. Actually, every button on here is separate and makes a noise. The screen however is not bright and the screen on the picture shown is nothing like what you get. The only bright thing that is shown is when you press the button to take photos, it makes a shutter sound and it lights up and all you see is a picture of a house scene, there is not baby face and it isn't white. I was disappointed by this because I thought the screen was going to be very bright like a real phone and keep my son's attention for longer.
Things that aren't so great about it

How you use the product: My son plays with this product by pressing the buttons individually, the number buttons make normal tone sounds while some specialty buttons make different sounds.

Things that are great about it: My son loves to push the buttons and listen to the high pitch sounds.

Things that aren't so great about it: The photo on the site is not at all accurate. The phone does look like the photo but the screen is dark and the background lights up like if there is a small light inside and the only picture you can see is of a house as if you are supposed to be taking a photo of a house. There is no picture of a child's face or any of those other little icons you see on the screen at all. I also got pinched by the sides where the hinge is but it doesn't seem likely that my child will pinch himself since I was testing the hinges out by shoving my fingers on the sides. Other than that it is still a good buy and will keep your little one busy because it isn't like other toy phones, it's more detailed.

My son always liked to toy around with my (expensive) phone. Now that he has one of his own, he no longer asks for mine. This one is terrific: it rings, it simulates a (brief) conversation, it's noise takes pretend pictures, and it's buttons have sounds to please little ears. Plus, its not bulky like other pretend phones.

This product is very nice on paper but when you get it home and out of the box there is not a lot of power behind the features the back light is not bright enough to grab my attention let alone my 21 month old son..the noises are not loud enough ether the only this that is realistic is the flip action that the phone has..all in all it is a good concept just not carried out well.
