Summary: Don't believe the negative hype
Review: I have not had any problems with this phone. I live on the 7th floor of a dormitory, and can use it on the ground floor of the building. I've had no problems with the sound quality, range, reception, the ringer, nothing. Our campus phone system does not have Caller ID, so I can't comment on that, but the call waiting works well. I would heartily reccomend this phone, especially at this price.

Review: I purchased this same telephone for 29.99 at smartbargains.com. You want 55 dollars. Nobody should have to pay that much.

Summary: Great Looking design but don't be fooled!
Review: I read some of the negative reviews here before buying this phone. But I really liked the hi-tech design so I bought one anyway, I'm one of those gotta see for myself people. Here is the scoop- this phone has major design problems. First the hard plastic hand piece vibrates when the other party talks which causes distortion (kind of like if you try to talk through a sheet of waxed paper). Second -The ringer on the phone is very "wimpy" it can't be heard in the next room even when set to the highest level. (IBM/TT should have put a ringer in the base set like Sony did) and finally the talk key which answers and hangs up the phone sticks out too far, it will hang up the phone when you are talking if it gets to close to your face.

Review: My wife and I bought this phone thinking: "Hey, IBM makes quality stuff, and it looks cool too!" Well, we were only half right. While I'm sure they had the best of intentions, this phone falls flat when it comes to call quality. At first, the only annoyance was a very slight echo, but it wasn't long before we were noticing a LOT of static and signal drop-outs. We tried changing channels, relocating the transmitter, etc. to no avail. It got so that we were experiencing problems on almost every call. I was so frustrated that I had decided that cordless phones were too much of a hassle. We fortunately bought the phone with an extended warranty that allows us to return the phone for a store credit, so we are sending it back. In short, we hate this phone, and rue the day we ever bought it. Now we have a Panasonic KX-TG1000N that we are VERY happy with ... no static, no dropped calls or signal drop-outs, etc. What a breath of fresh air!

Summary: Horrible, horrible phone
Review: Note to self - don't buy a phone just because it looks good. Check the reviews first!!!Awful sound. Painfully loud crackling static. Red light starts blinking whenever you use the phone. So it looks like you have a message all the time. To cancel red light you have to delete all your caller ID's. Ridiculous. And there is NO backlight (added to the fact that the LCD display is hard to read anyway).
A total waste of money.

Review: Phone works fine, but signal dropouts begin when any more than 10 feet from the base. My old 47mhz cordless works better from the same location.
