Fisher-Price calls on nostalgia with its Chatter Telephone for adults - CNN

CNN —

OK — we can’t be the only one who wished our toy phone growing up could actually make calls, right? Well, Fisher-Price finally made it happen with a fully functional Chatter Telephone, which is up for preorder now at Best Buy.

Yes, the friendly and colorful phone with a rotary dial complete with wheels and a receiver is coming back. And just like the NES Classic Edition or even the Sega Genesis Mini, everything that was old is now new again.

The Chatter Telephone features a mostly plastic build with four wheels for easy mobility, just like the original toy. Unlike the original, though, it comes with a battery and Bluetooth inside.

Via a single charge through what appears to be a Micro USB cable, you can get around nine hours of talk time. And with Bluetooth functionality, you’ll pair an Android or iOS device to the Chatter Telephone. This way, when you get a call you can pick up the phone by lifting the receiver or hitting the speaker button. But here’s the real treat: You can dial out using the rotary dial on the front.

It’s up for order right now at $60 from Best Buy, but let us note that it’s available in limited quantities and we have a feeling this will go quickly. Of course, if you don’t want the Bluetooth tricks, you can score a classic Chatter Telephone as well.
