Good audio, lousy handset interface,

This review is from: Philips Cordless Phone (DECT2211G/37) (Office Product)
Once again, a consumer electronics hardware maker proves that they can't develop a good software interface for their device. In terms of physical design, this is one of the best cordless phones out there. The sound quality is also quite good, and the DECT technology works on a band that keeps it free of WiFi interference. However, I had to return this phone right away because the interface is so awful. First of all, Philips really shortchanged this device by putting in a cheap LCD display that can only display 8 letters on caller ID, and then they are letters formed in barely legible block-style on the numerical display. I mean, how much more would if have cost them to put in a modern LCD display with enough pixels to show real letters? But the clincher is the poor design of this phone's Caller ID interface. Call it Caller Confusion. If you have Caller ID with Name service from your phone company, with this phone you can only see the name -- and only the first 8 letters of it! While...Read more

The sound quality is great, the interference is alot better but not totally eliminated. The only bad thing is the caller ID, its letters are small and hard to see, does not display the cellular number . they can do better on the caller ID screen.

This phone is trash,

Saw this phone for $25 in Fry's, man, this is a DETC phone that does not interference with WiFi. All DECT phones are $60 or more; So I got one home.
When I use this phone to call my friends, the first words from them are all the same: "Can you speak louder?". I'm a singer, you know how loud my voice is.
Beside, there is always a background "shi shi..." noise.
Going to return it tomorrow. Back to my old and trusty 900MHz phones which has no interference issue at all, unlike the 2.4 and 5.8GH phones.
As another reviewer said: the CID is just a little better than nothing. The guy who designed this phone must be an idiot.
There is no re-dial button. Can you believe?
There is no headset jack.
