Summary: Great phone
Review: ... This Olympia phone was there and priced reasonably (very), it looked good, light weight, thin, buttons weren't too close together, so I thought I'd try it. It works fabulous. I tested it aginst the Seimens and the corded phone. Results, It was very difficult to tell the difference between the corded phone and either of the cordless phones. I couldn't be more pleased because the Olympia is easier to set up and operate than the Seimens, it's cheaper, and the range of the Olympia is better than the Seimens. I showed it to my father in law and he got one too, with three extra handsets.

Summary: Drops and Makes Clicking Noises
Review: I bought this phone with one additional accompany headset to see how it works. I've had it for over 6 months now (since this review) and so far I will have to say it's a great phone. It has many features that you will be able to read about from the product details or from another review here so I won't go into that.The phone is sleak looking with changable colored face plates. It allows up to three additional headsets (sold seperately) to "link" to the base which is great. Not only do I used it as a phone but it works as an "internal" intercom system for my home. The sound qualty is great and it's a pretty durable phone (God knows I've dropped it enough to find out!). Being on the computer as much as I am, I'm greatful for the ability to plug a headset to it which I use when I need to carry it around the house while on the phone. It hooks up right up with my phone companies services that I have. I'm not sure how it does it but it tells me when I have messages waiting in my "message box"... etc. I reccomend this phone to anyone who wants a reiable and expandiable phone "system" without paying too much for it. :)

Summary: Does not have all the functionality listed
Review: I bought this telephone specifically because it is listed by Amazon as having speakerphone functionality. On receiving the telephone I found that this is not the case. The misrepresentation by Amazon has caused me considereable inconvenience.

Summary: Great phone for the price
Review: I got a great discount and picked one of these including three additional handsets up for [a good price].
Quality is great for the prices. This is not a Mercedes under the sky (Siemens 4210 comes to mind) but does the job.
Good functionality (except that locking the keyboard requires 8 keystrokes - thankfully unlocking requires only 3) - and the best sound quality a found in a sub $100 2.4Ghz phone (I tried and returned a lot).
Nice loude ringer - caller ID on call waiting etc...
It is also small enough to fit in my pants pocket (I don't trust the belt clip when I am working in the yard.... I dropped to many phones in the dirt already...)

Summary: Great Phone for the Price!
Review: I'm very pleased with this phone! I got this phone about a week ago. At first, I only bought the base station (includes a handset) and one external handset. Two days ago I went back for two more handsets. I also bought a base station plus three external handsets for my folks. The price is incredible! The base + three external handsets cost about what the base alone will cost you on a Panasonic. Directory:
* when you store a phone number from any handset, it is accessible from all handsets (shared phone directory)
* no "speed-dial" -- I have not found anyway to have 1-digit dialing. You have to look it directory entries up by name, you can't just press a "speed dial number"
* you can store phone numbers directly from the Caller ID
* I can't comment about the 10-digit dialing issue mentioned in another review. We have 10-digit dialing, so I'm happy
* I don't know what will happen to the directory if there is a power failure
* has dial and "pre-dial" options. You can press the "Phone" button and dial (like a regular phone) or dial the number and then press the "Phone" button (like a cell phone) Caller ID:
* is shared by all handsets -- when you review it, it updates the status on all phones Handset extras:
* handsets have a jack for an external headset
* handsets have belt clip you can put on them
* handsets have a replaceable front cover (just the top part). Blue is standard, each comes with beige and gray
* each handset can dial either another handset or all the other handsets. You can name the handsets, so this allows you to call the "Steve" handset from the "Kitchen" handset. Just press the "Int" button, select the handset you want to call (or "All handsets"), press the "Phone" button, and it rings :) Batteries:
* comes with NiMH batteries (this is much better than the nickel cadmium batteries most cordless phones come with, but not as good as the Lithium hydride batteries most cell phones come with) Other comments:
* has "Auto Answer". Allows you to program the phone so you can pick up a ringing phone and just talk -- don't have to press any buttons
* ringer volume control -- select from about 6 levels
* ringer pattern -- select from about 8 ringer patterns. Can choose one pattern for external calls and another for internal calls (handset to handset)
* I did notice a lot of echo on the first call, but it went away and has not come back
* you can wall mount the base, but not the charger bases for the external handsets

Summary: Nice look and features - but falls short
Review: The look and feel of this phone is great. Lots of memory for
phone numbers, interchangeable faceplates, BUT
There's no backlight so you have to be in good light to
read the display.
It saves all numbers as 10 digit - OK if you're in a 10 digit calling area - bad if you're not as there's no way to edit them and 7 digit numbers have to be entered manually, making the call back feature of CID useless.
Although the sound quality is good, there's a pronounced echo when speaking that makes the phone annoying to use.
