Summary: What do you expect for ($$)?
Review: This is a cheap phone. I bought this one at local store for ($$$), minus the rebate. I've owned it for about a month now.

Let's get down to business - the phone I have uses the same circuitry as this one but is styled differently, kind of a futuristic style, really. It has a volume switch, a scan button to get a better channel, a redial button, page, memory button, a flash button, and a pause button. Not to mention the headset jack!

I love the compact base on this phone, but when it comes down to it, it dosen't sound as good as my other cordless phones (I own 7).

For one thing, unless the other person talks loud, it's hard to hear them. Raising the volume helps, but it's still hard to hear some callers. The manual is short and shows mediocre English skills, but this phone is easy to use and setup. The fit and finish is very good, and could compete with some uptown phones in the ($$$) range.

The wall mount bracket is unuseful, as the phone is unsteady if it's hanging on the wall. Of course, I use it as a desktop cordless phone, so it dosen't matter.

Overall, this is fine for calling up the bank info line, or calling time and temperature. I use it to answer the phone, and if it isn't a telemarketer, I can get on my other cordless to talk. However, it's not a good primary phone.
