Summary: UGH!
Review: Bought it without realizing it was analog. Lots of static, feedback and echo. Do yourself a favor, go digital.

Summary: Last Time I purchase a phone because it matches my sheets!
Review: Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy many of V-Tech's electronics, however, in this case, not even the cool colors can overcome it's lousy reception. The phone works well as far as not cutting out when it is in use, however in the background I would have to deal with a high pitch, fuzzy noise. Everytime I talked or breathed, there was a nylon-on-nylon noise eminating from the earpiece. I guess that is what I get for expecting quality from a [price] phone that matches my bed sheets.

Summary: VTech Static machine
Review: I bought the phone for its price and color. I am pleased with those things. As far as acutally using the phone goes it leave a bit to be desired. The phone has tons of static in the background which often makes hearing people difficult. turning the volume up simply turns the static up, leaving the other persons voice at nearly the same volume which doesnt really help hearing... if you buy this phone, get used to yelling and saying "what? i cant hear you! what? you want dinner with Charo? what??"

Summary: spend the $, get a phone that works!
Review: i can't even tell you how much i hate the 2 vtech phones i have gotten. one i got as a gift, and the other i bought. they both are horrible. they have terrible sound quality, range, battery life, & durability - and they were especially poor in my 2 floor apt! . i tried to save a little $, but now i'm on my third cordless phone in a little over a year and have spent more $ than if i had just gotten a siemens 2.4ghz w/ caller ID in the first place! do yourself a favor & pay attention to the reviews. cordless phones are tough.

Summary: I agree with Loring Cook - what's that NOISE?!??

Summary: handset is too small
Review: I love this phone, but the handset is too small to prop between my head and my shoulder. If you plan on talking completely hands free, choose another phone.

Summary: Not your ideal phone
Review: I purchased this same model (purple colour) a few months ago at a KMart store. The flashy colours attracted me, I suppose. In the beginning it was an okay phone. I had replaced a very cheap and old cordless phone, and the sound was much better. My only problem was I had to adjust to the lack of echo. :) The Antenna on the base of this phone is Horrible! My kids pulled it out and broke the plastic the first day I got it. Then, the phone rapidly began to have problems. The battery had a very short life. Instead of just beeping when the battery was low, I would get a very loud interference type noise, and the phone would disconnect me. The ringer no longer works 100% of the time, and that brings me here to Amazon in search for a better phone! I would not recommend this phone, unless you are just in it for the "nifty colours."
