 Great phone! October 11, 2008
I bought this a few weeks ago, and it's the first cordless phone I've ever owned (believe it or not). I always preferred regular phones for the sound quality, but I moved into a new apartment where I couldn't use the phone jacks (long story about wiring) and so had cable-phone installed. I read a lot of reviews, hoping that the quality would be reasonable. Well, it's fantastic! Clear as a bell -- I can't tell I'm not using a traditional phone. I've had no difficulty with the phones picking up at either end of the apartment (through several walls). Battery life seems great (I can't imagine I'd ever talk long enough to deplete it before recharging). Answering machine works good, etc. I've heard some people complain that the volume isn't good enough -- I personally have had no difficulty with the volume level whatsoever and don't even need the highest setting. My only complaints are very minor:
1. Parts of the phone and phone base are designed with black print on a dark grey background. Can't see it without shining a bright light on it! Luckily this isn't for the numbers on the phone, just some of the lesser used settings (see the photos of this product). But what designer came up with that?!?! I'm a designer myself, so find it particularly offensive. Good contrast is very important. However, this is not enough to cause me to turn away from a really good product.
2. If it's important to you to be able to name the handsets or to have interesting ringtones, you won't like this product. I personally don't care much about that although it would have been nice.
I guess those are my only complaints. And by the way, the speaker phone works great! I love that each handset has its own speaker phone. You only need the base for the answering machine. If you prefer not to use the answering machine, the phone will also alert you if you have voicemail through your phone company. I prefer the answering machine since I still like to screen calls the old-fashioned way. :-) I'm old-school, but I still think this is a fantastic product. This is high praise from me -- I turned 38 before I bought my first cordless phone because my sound quality standards are high!!! :-)
Thanks! Highly recommended!
Missing features October 11, 2008
No complaints about range, quality, etc... The sound is very clear and speaker phone works great. I do have a few gripes based on features.
1) I'm annoyed that I cannot listen to my voice messages through the hand set. I keep my base unit in my office, and must use it to pick up the voice messages.
2) There is no battery life indicator on the handsets. It would be helpful to see the remaining battery life (like on every cell phone!)
3) The hand set is somewhat small and light. I frequently cradle the phone on my shoulder to talk while I'm typing. The phone is somewhat wedge shaped, and is not conducive to this method of support.
This is a great phone if you can live with the missing features.
 extremely pleased October 10, 2008
I have had this phone for a little over a month now and am extremely happy with it. The voice quality is superb, it hold a charge for a long time, and is able to be used long distances from the base. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new cordless phone especially at the price amazon sells it for.
Cordless phone & answering device October 7, 2008
Works well, good value, expandable, plenty of features ("bells & whistles"), high reated by Consumer Reports. Not too large and bulky.
It's OK for just Phone services October 6, 2008
I bought this phone about a month ago. Like everyone here I read as many reviews as my brain could handle. Ultimately I went with this one. Mainly because it's cheaper than the others. Here are my thoughts about this product:
Pros
1. Great clarity
2. Does have a really good range. I can go in my basement while the base is on the second level of my home (never use to be able to that).
3. Light weight (For most people this is a problem, because it hardly feels like your holding the phone. It almost feel cheap. I think they could have done better in this area)
4.Can program various numbers on the phone and have it show up on the other phones.
5. Can call the other cordless phones.
6. Easy to set up clock, voice recording
Cons:
1. The red light indicator for the voice mail flashes even when someone calls the house. This is very annoying because I consistently have to turn the indicator off.
