Rating: Summary: Great, Fun Phone for the Price Review: ....I actually think there are two versions (both in various colors) of this model around. One version (the one I have) has a black antenna (instead of the light blue)....I think this is an excellent phone for the money. It's a good, clear 900Mhz phone with a better range than the old cordless phones but not as great as some of the digital ones that cost more. The sound quality is very good and the adjustable volume is very helpful too. The colors are fun (don't ask me why, but the blue is great) and it's very well constructed. The size and weight of the phone is just right for me and the paging feature is loud enough for me to find my handset even when it's burried in the sofa.I agree that the battery life seems a bit shorter on this one than with other cordless phones I've owned (although my others were not 900Mhz). But, if you put the phone back in the base pretty regularly, it's not an issue. Also, the battery in mine is easy to find in stores and cheap to replace. The only complaints I'd have are small ones. ....I wish mine had a caller-ID on the handset so I don't have to go over and check my caller-ID box. There is a newer model that has this feature, but it makes the handset bigger and somehow it didn't feel as well constructed as this one...costs more too! So, if you want a fun phone that works well...get this one! You can't go wrong for the price...

Rating: Summary: great phone Review: First I had the blue one, then, thinking color would matter, got the dark green (but it is identical other than color). With BOTH of these, I had the phone for 6 months or so, and then, starting 5 minutes into a call, what can only be described as "wind" would start in the background (both I and the other person i was talking to could hear it). It would get louder and louder until you could not hear the person and it sounded like they were in a blizzard. This thing was on the charger whenever I wasn't on it (ie: all day when I was at school/work, and all night), so I don't get it. I bought a new battery, and it didn't make a difference. When it happened with the 2nd one i got (which was in a different city, so I know it wasn't my phone line), I'd had enough. All it is good for is a "ringer" that I could answer and run with it to my other bedroom phone. I can't explain it, but I'm not buying another one!!!

Rating: Summary: Fun phone, lacks call waiting button Review: I bought 2 phones for my 8 and 6 year old sons. The phones are a good value and look fun. They feel good to hold. The only drawback is the lack of a call waiting button, which is very necessary when they are on a long conversation.
Rating: Summary: Pretty colors, clear reception! Review: I bought this phone for my 12 year old son and he loves it! It gets him great reception and it was affordable too! His only complaint was that there is no place to record his speed dials so he has to rely on memory. Otherwise a good deal.
Rating: Summary: Great Phone Review: I bought this phone for my sister and she loved the colors. Besides the color it's a great phone. The voice quality is actually better than a more expensive Sony that I bought earlier.
Rating: Summary: Be cautious Review: I bought this phone in late july and 2 weeks later the batery died while I was using it I put in the charger and the phone would not charge or stop beeping I finally threw it away because it was surely broken.
Rating: Summary: Cute phone! Review: I got this phone for Christmas, and I adore it! It feels good in your hand, an adorable color, and has decent reception! My only complaint is there is no hold button, and there is no flash button... But the volume switch is on the side, and it works well... very clear! This phone has a redial, and you can program numbers in it (I haven't done that, though). Great for a 900MHz phone, but I wouldn't use it as the main phone in the house. Good for a kitchen or bedroom phone. Overall, I like it! :o)
