Customer Reviews

Nice product, but some points to consider...
I purchased this phone and two expansion handsets. In the last three weeks, I have not had the problems with interference which other reviewers complain of, but every situation is unique. I was having some problems with other cordless phones because of kitchen appliances and lights that caused interference on the older bands. I find the handsets in both colors very ergonomic and attractive, and the extra features like polyphonic ring tones and remote access to the answering machine from expansion handsets are great.

A couple of concerns I do have with this phone:
There is no way to wall mount either the base station or the expansion handsets. If you don't have a piece of furniture that's next to the phone jack, don't bother. I don't know why it would have been so difficult to put a mounting bracket for a wall jack on the very slim base station. (None of the pictures on the box show the back or mention this, so buyer beware!)

Phantom handsets - has anybody else had this problem? I bought expansion handsets for my phone about a week apart each, and each time I registered a new handset, it was one number up from what it ought to have been. (I registered the second handset and it showed it was handset 3, the third, 4, etc.) I obviously de-registered everything each time, but I would like to know what is causing it. (I'm following the directions in the manual precisely.)

very nice, cool features
I bought the phone and two handsets. It is easy to install, multi-language, polyphonic tones. You can personalize each handset, so you know which one goes where. The display letters and numbers sizes are comfortable and easy to read. Date and time will automatically adjust if you are subscribed to caller ID.
It is very stylish, different, slim and light. The intercom feature has stopped the yelling from one room to the other. Call quality is very good, and volume is rather high (Volume 1 or 2 is perfect). The speaker volume is good too.
Editting the numbers in the memory is a little tricky, nothing major though. Overall, the menu is user friendly.
The answering system is easy to use, I haven't had the problems mentioned in another review.
It may not be a good idea to buy for a house with little kids, because it is very light and can easily be pushed over. Only grownups in my house, and I am really happy with the purchase.

Useless
This phone is crazy cute, but it is nearly impossible to use. Talking on this phone is like talking on a cellphone in an elevator. Nothing improves reception whatsoever. When using this phone to speak to someone else, they appear to have a more difficult time than you do, which is saying a lot. I deeply regret buying this product.
