Description:

The Sony IT-B3 corded telephone combines convenience with simplicity, offering easy speed dialing, last number redial, and lightweight portability in a sleek and simple design suitable for nearly any room.

Setting up the Sony IT-B3 is as quick as connecting the phone cord to your wall jack and the phone's base unit. The IT-B3 easily stores 10 phone numbers for speed dialing; we successfully completed the four-step speed dial setup after just one fast check of the instruction manual. This corded phone also has programmable memory pause capability (called PBX dialing by Sony), a feature allowing speed dialing when you must call via an outside line, last number redial, and mixed pulse-tone dialing. Ringer volume and pulse-tone switches are on the side of the base unit.

We found the IT-B3's handset easily gripable and particularly comfortable because of an ergonomically inspired finger rest just above the mouthpiece. The phone's modest dimensions let it easily fit on a crowded countertop or desk, or on a narrow wall space, making it especially practical for home office, kitchen, or workshop use.

Our only complaints where that the speed-dial function is accessed with a button labeled Recall, perhaps easily confused with the Redial button. Also, a receiver volume control would enhance convenience.

Sony's dependability and limited one-year warranty make the IT-B3 a sensible choice for everyday phone use.

Pros:

  • Easy, two-step speed dialing of up to 10 numbers
  • User-friendly memory programming
  • Lightweight and easily portable
  • Simple, compact design
  • Matches any décor

Cons:

  • Poorly labeled speed-dial button
  • No receiver volume control
