What I liked about it (besides the price) was that it has a very readable caller id screen on both the base and handset and a speaker phone on the base and handset. The handset speakerphone is a very unusual feature that I find very handy. The phone is also nice in that you can purchase additional handsets for locations where there are no telephone jacks.Sound quality is very good, and the range seems much better than my old Sony 900MHz phone.

And the full-text displays make it rather easy to use. Some people may find the handset a little too small. A larger handset would make it a little easier to press-against your shoulder (so you have both hands free) - but it can be done.The audio quality of the answering machine is rather poor.

But, if you need to hear a certain part over-again, you have to hear the whole thing over again. In one questionable design item, they have a very large light (about the size of a dime) that indicates whether or not the answering machine is enabled (even more annoying is that it blinks if you've only enabled the answering machine on one of the two lines).

Very limited choices in 2-line expandable handset group. Although from the following it would seem that the Cons are overwhelming, in reality, they are somewhat nitpicking however they do sigificantly take away from the overall package of the device being user friendly. Pros: Battery life has been really great after living with this phone for about 3 weeks. Transmit/ receive range seem to be good. I've noticed no degradation in comparison to other cordless phones I own. Cons: |
