A telephone that works. [Posted on 2005-09-15]
My friend's phone broke. I thought I'd buy her a new one as a gift. I bought this one. It works, and I'll tell you how I know that: I talked to her on the phone last night. She told me she'd had a good day at work.

the item was broken when i received it. i sent it back to amazon. i went to order another and you told me it was discontinued. I was very disappointed. the only good thing was that the return was easy and i received a refund in good time.

I think now days with technology so advance these phones should be design smaller like cellular phones.
Sturdy no complaints phone... [Posted on 2005-11-01]
My friend presented me with this phone and ever since then, it has become a part or my family. It was a welcome break for me from the Panasonic model which had the echo issues. It was like I was recording my voice and listening to it. The EXI 5160 is certainly the best gift I could have got then. I was so impressed, that I bought a pair of cordless models for my parents to use in their home. They are happy as well.
My phone is a 5.8 GHz model, and is pretty clear over moderately longer distances from my apartment as well. I could be talking to someone over the phone, while I take the elevator to the lobby of my apartment. The model which my parents use is also very impressive. We could take one of the hand-sets to my neighbors house, and still be able to call the other hand-set.
I use a ear-phone connected to the hand-set and thanks to the attachment provided, I can hang the hand-set to my buckle, or belt and walk around talking to someone while I vacuum the floor, or do the laundry. The volume controls are also pretty effective. Battery life is impressive as well. I have talked for hours together, with still plenty of hours left on the battery charge. When the battery charge goes below a threshold, the phone gives a faint cooing bell which lets me know that it is time to stop and recharge - but believe me, I have encountered that need maybe only twice in the past year and a half, and I am a pretty heavy user of the phone when I am at home.
I am not going to delve into the features, since they have been covered in the 'An electronics fan' review well, as also in the 'Amazon product description'. They are all true to the fullest extent. Among the features listed, those that I found the most useful are:
*ear-phone compatible (I could just hang the handset on my belt and go ahead with my work while talking)
*Page handset
*Caller ID with menu (I had privacy manager turned on by my service provider, so I could screen the calls)
*Rocket dial (I could store my most-dialled number and call it with a single click of the button)
*Handset volume controls conveniently located
*Ringer volume/tone control
*10-name/number memory for personal contacts
*Previous caller ids are stored - I just have to scroll them to call them back
The other aspect that I liked is that I could operate the various controls with ease. Infact, I didn't even have to go through the manual for most of the features.
This phone is pretty good for the household. My friend bought it for around 40$. It sells around 31 in Amazon now. I think it is a good deal to buy it here. I would recommend it to my friends, and may be present it to someone as well.
Battery life was real short (less than 6 months) [Posted on 2006-03-28]
The battery went on this phone before 6 months. Although the phone worked well when the battery retained a charge, I gave it a bad review because a phone should last longer than 6 months.
