Summary: Looks Cool
Review: The menu interface is reminiscent of earlier LCD screen cellular phones- suprisingly unwieldly. The Handsfree earperice works great, and the phone works well, and has a nice feel to it- the soft backlit buttons etc. The caller ID menu does not give all the detailed CID information that is available, such as the time of the call.

I would recommend it only if you're looking for a cordless phone that looks and feels different. (judging from the popularity of imacs, VW bugs, and AMEX blue cards, looks and feel is the breadwinner these days, and on that note this phone stacks up high amongst the rest)

Summary: It's okay, I guess.....but I've had better phones.
Review: The phone and the functions aren't bad at all but god forbid if you should need to find a battery for this thing. I've been to where I originally bought this thing and every other store in my city but not only do they not carry the original phone itself, but no accessories to go with it either. It sort of makes me ponder as to why I actually got this thing in the 1st place.

Summary: Cute phone, not very practical
Review: The phone looks and feels fine to hold, however its small size (the selling point) is its main problem. The ear piece needs to be positioned exactly or else sounds seem muffled. It's small size makes it difficult to rest on your shoulder without a severe neckache. And should you need to turn the volume up high, you may experience feedback because the mouthpiece is too close to the earpiece.

The included headset actually sounds better than the earpiece on the unit, but the mic makes you sound like you're at the end of a tunnel to the other person.

Aside from appearance I don't find this phone to be practical. It's not terrible, it works fine and has decent range, but its little annoyances mount up after a while.

Summary: Small, but has its faults
Review: This is a very compact phone that is very convinient sue to its size, but it has its faults. The phone doesn't have speakerphone, and the head-set doesn't work well at all. The biggest fault the phone has though, is that it is very unclear to talk on, and there is a constant hissing noise in the backround.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: not very good reception
Review: this is the 2nd phone had to send the first one back, lots of static and cuts in and out in the middle of a conversation. planning on sending this one back also.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 1 or 2 flaws but a good phone
Review: This is the perfect phone but it just has 2 flaws. #1 The redial takes more time that dialing the number again because it has various steps #2 The mic. is to sensitive if somebody calls and you ask the person that that person is calling if he wants to talk the person on the phone can easily hear that the person said no (if that is the case). Great size it has good range and nice style.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Useful but could be better
Review: This phone is both small and lightweight, which is the only reason we bought it. I find both the menu-ing and even basic operation of the phone a bit confusing. No intercom or handset to base paging. Base to handset paging almost useless to locate a lost handset because it only rings once and rather quietly. Battery lasts several days although not as long as some. Fine phone if you need something that slips in your pocket or clips to your belt. Wish there were more small ones to choose from. Geeze, most cellular phones are smaller than most cordless phones!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good for use with the headset... Very light and compact
Review: This phone is very light and compact so use with the headset is very convenient. My room is about only about 15-25 feet away from the room where the base is, and the phone starts skipping because it's searching for a clear channel. This can be very annoying when you are trying to have a conversation. You can probably do better with a 100 dollars. if you want a light and VERY compact phone with headset capibilities this is the way to go. You might want to consider another phone based on range because it does not reach very far. it has a nice BACKLIT caller ID display but redialing and putting the phone on mute is a pain.
