Motorola Dect 6.0 Cordless Phone With Caller ID, Digital Answering System and Bluetooth (L501 + BT)

Sound quality not real good ... keypad is cheap ... but most of the new DECT 6.0 phones I have reviewed are no better, so this one is a decent buy at the price. The best cordless phone I ever ran across was the Sony 2-line SPP-IM977 Digital 900MHZ ... everything about it was excellent ... alas, it is no longer available, and nothing else has ever compared.

This is third Motorola product I have bought to bring my cell to my home phone. Two were docking systems that were a joke. I would have thought that of all companies, Motorola would be able to put together a system. What a failure. The V-Tech bluetooth phone has downloading of directories, auto connect and disconnect, rename device. Motorola is a mess. One connected and the land line is in use, forget about using the cell until you have manually unconnected from the base. If you take the cell away, it may or may not unpair. The paired phones have the same name and you cannot rename the display.

Spend the bucks and get the V-Tech!

I had this phone for two days. I bought it to lower the amount of time the radiation stick is against my head. The phone was horrible. Getting the phone to pair with your cell phone is not straight forward. Further, the cell phone doesn't always pair on its own. So, half the time the phone is useless if the integration of the cell phone is what you bought it for.

Moreover, the materials felt cheap, and it was poorly constructed. Maybe I am being overly harsh, but the same week my girlfriend's Motorola cell phone died after about seven months of use. The poorly designed power cord cracked the case causing the phone not to charge anymore.
