Summary: Bluetooth Comes of Age
Review: At last a Bluetooth phone for use in the home or small office.
I have a BT GSM phone and PDA and loads of BT add-ons like headsets - now I can use them at home with the CDP24206. Very easy to use phone via graphical displays - very simple to pair BT devices.
Excellent!

Summary: Great for phone calls
Review: I don't use the blue tooth part of it, but it works great as a two line phone. Range is better than any I've tried, voice quality is good too, although when it gets quiet you can hear a small humming noise. Menu items take a little practice, but basic phone functons are easy.

EDIT: after having this phone for a while I've decided I don't like it so well. A headset cannot be used with this because when it is plugged in there is a loud high buzzing noise, I tried a couple headsets, same thing. Sometimes when going in and out of range the phone decides it can't find the base anymore and it acts like it freezes up, the battery has to be removed and reinstalled, then it's back to normal. The range is good if you walk away from the base while on a call, it will stay connected, but if you are that far away when a call comes in, it won't get it. Also, sometimes when a call came in I would try to answer it, it would pick up the call but I couldn't hear the caller, so the battery would have to come out again to solve the problem. For one reason or another the battery would have to ber removed about once a day to solve some problem to reset the pohone, I even had two handsets and it happened on the other one too, I returned the phone...I liked it's small size and locking key pad, features I can't find on other phones, but I couldn't rely on it. The Att 5800 is still the best phone I have ever had, too bad they don't make a two line version.

Summary: Very Poor Product
Review: I was so excited when I got the whole system home - 1 base 4 handsets. The 2.4Ghz is very noisy, much more than my 900Mhz. The range from the base is about 15feet in my house, so really my office or next door rooms, feels like you are hooked with a cord. Very Clunky Menu's on handsets and the computer programs. No Holding feature, to Flash a call you must toggle through a menu to locate 'flash'. Customer Support helps make you feel that the issues are you and not the phone! Over all - very upset -

Summary: only looks good
Review: Olympia CDP 24206 2 line phone.

The design is great, neat and compact. Unfortunately from there on its down hill all the way. Far too complicated to set up, menu driven screens, so at times its impossible to dial or even answer the phone if in the wrong screen.
Range and sound quality is good, but echo on one line. Screen is far too small to read, and dial pad also too small on both base station and hand set. More complicated than any cell phone I have used and less intuitive.
Within first day had to phone the customer service line 3 times for help for functions that would not work or difficult to set up. Wave Industries provide excellent online support, but not enough to make up for a very disappointing system.
To sum up, far too many features, far too complicated and makes even the most simplest tasks like phoning out, receiving calls and redialing a mission.
After 3 days of trials, I'm reinstalling my old single line cordless phones and returning the Olympia CDP to the store.
