@bigdanbear Yes you can. telephones.att.com sells them for $15. You can buy updated models at Target too. As far as stores that continue to sell the Trimline 210, the last remaining descendant of the original Trimline as seen here, Kmart and Best Buy used to sell them.
I have one of those trimline in the closet of our cabin as the power goes out frequently in winter - and stays out for days at a time - and we have to plug the trimline in as the cordless phones in the cabin are worthless during the power outages.
Actually this isn't a Princess phone at all. It's a Trimline set! I think the reason for all the girls in this commercial is to make the Trimline look like a "high-style" phone. It was top of the line at that time, being that it was the first phone to have a dial in the handset.
The Trimline wasn't meant to be a "chick phone" but the actual Princess was. It was much smaller than the standard 500 phones of that era, and originally came in more feminine colors like pink and Aqua. It was pushed as an extention phone and was targeted at housewives so they could "save steps" to their primary phone, and to teenage girls so they could have their own bedroom phone.
