Summary: Very Expensive Answering Machine!
Review: I LOVED this phone at first then within 6 months there was so much static on the handset that we can't use it. I am glad I read that this is a common problem here before we went and bought the... replacement battery.Also, you really have to keep the manual because nothing is simple.

Summary: EXCELLENT PHONE!!! Please read if you are looking 4 the phon
Review: This phone is really really good. Excellent phone for the price. May be it's too early to tell but so far I like it so much that I recommend it to everyone.
I saw all the bad reviews about this phone and some had problem after few months and a year or so but I think no offense but it's not the phone it's you and how you take care of the phone or any electronic items. I am the big time fan of electronics and I love to buy them and try everything out.
THIS IS THE BEST PHONE SO FAR I HAVE BOUGHT. You know, I looked at all the reviews and they were for Black version of this phone. The one I have is the Silver one and is THE BEST by LOOK and QUALITY.
Thanks,
Raj

Summary: First release of this model not too bad...but...
Review: Bought this phone about 18 months ago. The battery has lasted a long time between recharges, and never had static issues like other people have. But I must of been one of the lucky ones because everyone seems to have the same issues. My issue, lost manual, can't figure out how to set the time again...the menu/programming for most functions are some special key combos that you would never remember...that has been the bad part for me...also changing channel doesn't seem to work like others have reported... One other thing...caller ID stopped working when you are already on the phone talking on the other line, it used to show the caller's info, but this mysteriously stopped working after 8 months...caller ID still works if it is the first call though. If anyone has the manual codes for setting time..please email me or post them here along with other info...I can't get this thing to set the time/date....Good luck...

Summary: ...answering machine.
Review: I too bought this phone and within 1 year, the handset went dead so I can no longer program the answering machine. Never again.

Summary: Disrupts WiFi Networks Too
Review: I agree with the other negative comments about how confusing this phone is to use, and how it has mediocre (at best) sound quality. But, the most serious problem for me is that every time someone uses it, it completely disrupts my wireless network. So if you're using 802.11b, stay away from this phone.

Summary: Looks Good, Feels Good, But it doesn't work.
Review: If you are looking for a phone that is feature rich, difficult to use and you only need it to work for a week or two then look no furthur. Like all the rest of the reviews, I have one and recently I was at a clients home who had one that works the same (it doesnt). They seem to work ok for about a month then the buzzing starts. It gradually gets worse to the point where you are out of range when you are standing right beside the base unit. The answering machine works but with no local dialing control to place outgoing calls it is just an answering machine. Do yourself a favour and buy another phone.

Summary: RE :fixing statics in the silver model handset
Review: ...After 13 months of owning the product, there're too many statics in the handset so I have to stop using it. After I moved to CA, I was lucky (am I?) to find a local service center so I don't have to spend S/H in sending it back for repair. However, the people in the service center charged me [a lot] upfront just to check the phone, and instead recommended me to buy a refurbished one displayed in their window.
Anyway, I decided not to spend the money on refurbished item due to a lot of bad experience. Since I was only using the answer machine, I don't care about the handset so I tried to fix it myself. After carefully opened the handset in half (You must be very careful, there're too many latches inside the rubber around the side of handset) I found some metal chips are oxidized and I used "powerpen" ... which should be available in electronic/camera store for cleaning the tip of battery, throughly clean all the surface of metal part. After I assembled everything and recharged it overnight, the statics are all gone and I seldom got any noise since. Can't believe the people in Japan actually used some [inexpensive] materials to build a [high priced] phone. Now you save the money to buy a new phone, and [a lot] for repairing.

Summary: Poor sound quality and battery life
Review: I chose this 2.4Ghz phone + answering machine + caller ID for its features, and found that though everything worked, they didn't work very well. Like other users, I found the menu system difficult to use. The sound quality was marginal and wasn't even as good as my 900mhz phones from other manufacturers. On top of that, the battery started dying about 4 months after I purchased the phone. It can no longer maintain a charge. The same poor sound quality also exists on the answering machine, making messages difficult to hear.

Summary: A Great, Albeit Confusing Phone
Review: I received this phone after purchasing it for a very good price and, I was expecting the worst. After reading the comments here I was afraid I had made a bad purchase. Much to my surprise though, I feel I haven't! After unpacking it and, getting the unit up and working, I couldn't wait for the battery to charge so I could try it out. I was quite pleased to find the reception and clarity beyond anything I have ever tried. Anywhere I moved around my house the reception never waivered. It held clean and clear and that was with the base unit set up in our basement. This unit has more features than anyone could ask for and yet, it still lacks a couple of things I would like to have seen on it. Basically, everything is controlled from the handset. This can be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Personally, I would much rather just have a switch on the base unit to set the number of rings for the answering machine instead of having to curse throuhg menus on the handset. Of course, once it's set, it's set. The features are confusing at first but after a while, the more frequently used ones become second (or third) nature. Just don't throw away the manual for reference for those features that you don't use that often such as, setting the time and day. Overall, I love the phone, I just wish they didn't pack so many features into it and made it a little easier to use but, with it's superior clarity and range, I can ignore some of the harder to use features.

Summary: The computer wiz
Review: It worked fine for about year, and as soon as its warranty is over, static has come into the handset! The manual says to push a button to choose a different channel, but it does not work!
