Summary: Nice features but poor quality
Review: Even though the box clearly states that this 2.4Ghz phone is "802.11 Friendly", I seem to get interface on this phone anywhere in my home. This is the first 2.4Ghz phone that I've had this problem with. There is no option to switch channels (DSS). There is a constant buzz on the line.Another absolutely irritating thing is that fact that the dialpad is soo slow and will often miss a number when you dial it in.

Summary: Solid Phone, nice features. Better than Seimens
Review: great phone. sound quality with headset is great. built-in-handset-speakerphone is an odd but remarkably handy feature sometimes. desktop speaker has good sound quality although microphone isn't the best for the people on the other end. wireless connection/sound quality seems very good as well - none of the problems I had with the last couple of 900mhz phones. note this is a real digital phone, not a faux-digital like many of the other 2.4ghz phones. menu and operation works like a cell phone, in other words it is more intelligent and sophisticated than your usual home cordless. this makes it much easier for me as I am used to constantly using a cell phone. address book for instance is much more like a cell. downsides are a few of the features take too many clicks - bringing up and dialing caller ID numbers for instance, and occaisionally there is a feature that is hard to figure out the first time. other review is right about one thing at least - the wall mount is bogus - use it on a desk.

Summary: I REALLY hate this phone
Review: I got it for my home office because I really needed a dual-keypad speakerphone. The instructions warn not to put it near electronic equipment and they weren't kidding! First of all, very few real perks to this phone. I like performing all my options from the base, and this simply isn't the phone for that. To use the speed dial, you HAVE TO use the handset speakerphone, which is horribly low in volume (and static-y next to my computer). The base speakerphone is not a whole lot better when it comes to clarity of sound. All things considered, I guess it's worth the $70, but I'm giving it to my teenager because she REALLY wants a speakerphone and won't know the difference. Boo-hiss for this one.

Summary: Seems great--but...
Review: I was really pleased with the base/speaker phone when I purchased the original unit. Usually people cannot tell when I am on the handset or the base speakerphone because of the excellent sound quality. But the reason we purchased this unit was to be able to add additional handsets. The sound quality from the second handset is extremely poor. Moreover, sometimes when both handsets are in use that seems to cause both handsets to lose contact with the base and the call is lost. I don't want any special features on my phone, other than multiple handsets. This phone seems to have a lot of neat futures. If I had designed this, however, I would have dropped some of the features and designed a system which allows the person with whom you are talking to actually understand what you are saying. Maybe you need to buy a more expensive model to get that particular feature.

Review: This is an above average phone systems with many features of phones twice as much $. It has good sound quality and an extended range feature that improves communications over larger distances than standard 2.4GHz phones. It performs much beter than the Seimens 2415&2400 system that it is replacing. I was actually quite surprised to see a high level of build quality and function in a VTech phone system this cheap. 5.8GHz is not worth the bump in price when this phone performs this well in the city.
