Caller ID makes this phone a FAILURE [Posted on 2007-07-07]
The phone has some good qualities... sound quality is good, buttons are easy to use and not overcrowded, answering machine base is slim - doesn't take up much more room than a standard base. However, the caller ID feature is terrible. Only the caller name is displayed during an incoming call, and only the first 8 characters of that!! Often, all we see is "Maine" come up on the display. Thanks, that narrows it down to about a million people. The caller ID is one of the most important features and it fails to deliver. For this reason, I cannot recommend this phone and I am trying to find a replacement. Not sure whether to go with Panasonic or Uniden.

I returned the item [Posted on 2007-08-06]
I was not impressed with the item instantly. So I am sorry to say I did not bother to explore every feature that it offers in order to give a complete review. The sound quality was average. The part the bothers me the most is the display. The font they use needs to be better, I can hardly read what it is saying. I don't have bad eyesight, but you have to scringe to figure out what the words are. That instantly turned me off. It does not work for me. The speakerphone is not loud enough. If you are put on hold and you're waiting for someone to come on line, you have to keep your attention to the phone because you may miss the other party when they speak up.

Nice phone [Posted on 2007-09-26]
This is a great working phone, however, if you are big into reading caller ID this is NOT the phone for you. I bought it thinking it would be just like the Philips Dect phone I had in Europe but it is not. Sound quality is great, range is fantastic even using Vonage over Time Warner Cable internet.

I am sold on Philips Dect phones, just not the display screen on this one.

Great Looks Mediocre Quality [Posted on 2007-10-18]
On the shelf this looked like the one. Flat black and a good sized handset. I like having a headphone jack as well. At home the menus were hard to navigate and the connection had static. After a few days of use I'm afraid this one isn't up to the task. I went out and purchased the Panasonic and the sound quality is great... even if it does have a plain Jane aesthetic.

NOT impressed [Posted on 2008-02-11]
I have no issues with the battery life, but the rest of this phone is less than impressive.

The volume is too low and when you raise the volume there is an extreme amount of background noise. It does not matter if you are 2 feet or 50 feet away....you will not have a clear call unless you have super human hearing or are in a very quiet location and can keep the volume on low.

This has so far been a waste of money and is worse than my 4 year old 900 MHz cordless.
