Motorola DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with 2 Handsets (L302)

I have just received this and got it set up. The quick-guide should be enough for anyone to get the phone set up. Plug in the phone cord, plug in the power cord, connect the rechargable batteries in the handset, and you're good to go.

One thing that did puzzle me; when you set the time and date on one handset, this is synchronized between all the handsets (handy). However, phone book entries are *not* synchronized between the handsets, so you'll end up having to enter all your phone numbers on each handset, which is a drag if you have a lot of entries. I can see pros and cons to having it this way, esp. if you assign a handset to specific family members, which will let them have their own numbers programmed. I cannot find a menu option to force the synch either.

Also, the phonebook is limited to 30 entries (per handset).

I also like how you can assign ring-tones to entries in the phone book, so that when that person calls you, you get the...Read more

Overall, I'd say this it's a pretty good phone. It's not great and it's not the best (for this price point I wouldn't expect the best anyway). I looked at more expensive phones and decided on this one for the simple fact that I like the way it looked better then others I was considering, which where the Panasonic KX-TG6413T and the Panasonic KX-TG7432B. Yes, looks might be a shallow reason to consider a phone, but I'm not a heavy phone user and I figured if it's going to be setting out it might as well look good.

As for using the phone, I found no major issues that would stop me from buying it again (in fact I'm ordering additional handsets). It's not a feature rich phone, so don't expect anything but the basics. It has Caller ID and a Phonebook, which I believe is limited to 30 phone numbers, and thats it.

The distance or range of the phone from the base station seems to pretty good. Our house is about 1,700 square feet with the base station downstairs the...Read more

I was hoping by the reviews that this phone had that it would be good to have but the static is so bad on the phones that I cannot hear someone to carry on a conversation. I have moved both the phones around in the house thinking maybe it was the location that I had the phones stationed that was causing so much static but that's not the case. I am so disappointed in this purchase and I have to admit that this is the worst item that I have purchased from Amazon. Hope that all goes well when I return the phones back. Thought maybe since Motorola was a good name (or maybe used to be) that this would be an excellent purchase but I guess not. Don't waste your time on this product.
