Summary: Poor sound! I can't hear the other person...
Comment: I bought this phone because it was advertised as crystal clear reception with a great range. Unfortunately, I have never had a phone with such horrible reception. It makes me yearn for my first cordless 900mhz phone. At least I could hear the other person if they spoke in a normal voice.
I returned the 1st one I bought because I assumed it was defective. When I plugged in the 2nd set, it was just as bad.
I have given up on this brand and am currently looking for another DECT 6.o phone set.
Don't buy this phone - The bugs have not been worked out prior to release.

Summary: Great for the price
Comment: Couldn't be happier with these great phones. The best thing about them is their shape. I've got little hands, hubby has big hands, so it's not easy finding products that both of us like, but these are great! We went to Walmart to hold these and several other phones-these are actually comfortable to hold for extended periods and don't feel like they're going to slide out of your hands. Set up was easier than with our latest cell phones, reception is fine even outdoors. You can access the answering machine from any of the phones, picking a ring tone that you actually like is very satisfying, and the intercom function is nice if you're tired of yelling up and down the stairs Sound quality could be a bit better, but nothing sounds as good as an old fashioned corded phone. We got the extra handset with the Amazon deal a couple of months ago, so 3 handsets for $104 with all the features is a good price. We're very pleased with these.

Summary: Squishy Buttons
Comment: Sorry, squishy buttons on this phone are a deal killer. Unless you want endless frustration trying to get the number pad to actually work when you type numbers fast - don't buy it. I cannot for the life of me understand why a company does not test its own products. You just cannot dial quickly on this phone. Half the time the buttons work, the other half they do not.

Summary: Decent but extra features aren't all there yet
Comment: This is a decent phone set with lots of bells and whistles. The extra gadget factor comes at a price though. Unfortunately, elements like custom ring tones don't really work all that well because of slow caller ID detection and the interface can be a bit clunky. Still, if you like gadgety phones and don't mind the extra expense this isn't a bad choice.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Mediocre
Comment: This phone has some major pluses and major minuses:
Plus:
1). Good talk quality. Voice could sound a tiny bit more full but I'm being nit-picky here.
2). When you put someone on hold it plays music. I think this is super cool.
3). Google 411 info. This is really inventive.
3). Lots of ring tones
4). Lots of volume levels to choose from.
5). Major +++: Phone is really comfortable to use. This is a major important factor and it scores the highest out of all the cordless phones on the market today.
6). Great reception. No interference.
7). Great volume - Speaker wise also.
8). Looks cool
9). The stand looks just as cool.
10). Cool blue light. This is not as bright as some make it out to be. I find it very toreable.
Minus:
1). Phone feels rather cheap:
a). Buttons don't have a high quality feel at all.
b). You kinda have to smash the buttons rather than just simply push them.
c). The phone seems to have a slow CPU. Meaning, there is a major lag when typing in numbers. If you type to fast it will miss a number.
2). Phone doesn't use regular triple aaa recharge battery's like the panasonic models.
3). The phone has an equalizer. Normally, that would be really cool. But when I hit the bass preset it makes the ear piece speaker rattle and sound real cheap. In other wards, horrible sound and not usable at all.
4). Speaker on the speaker phone also sounds kind of cheap. Definitely not bad, just a bit on the cheap side.
5). Does not have a way to directly access a memory location to dial a stored phone number. You have to go through a couple of menus.
6). Plastic housing feel is a bit on the cheap side. Maybe because the phone feels somewhat hollow?
This phone is very intuitive with all of it's features. Someone was very cleaver to think about putting the google 411 and the music while on hold options. In addition, this phone really hit's the spot with it comfort next to my ear. It could not be argued that this phone is unlike any other cordless phone out there and takes the cake with it's uniqueness.
It's biggest downfall was the corners cut to make the phone so inexpensive. The lag is really annoying. It's not just with dialing numbers but also with redial, etc. Think of it as an out of date computer that takes to long to carry out a function. And the buttons feel like you need to squish them rather than a normal button you can press with a feedback of a high quality feel. I haven't decided if I am going to keep the phone or not, it all depends if I can get used to the cheap feel(and laggy input functions) of the phone.
On a side note, if you just need to buy one of these and don't need 2 hand sets Circuit City sells the single model and it's super cheap. No, I'm not talking about the extra handset you can buy. I'm talking about you can actually buy just one and use it by itself. That is the only place that has them single.
