 Feature Stuffing! June 26, 2008
I was particularly interested in these phones because they promised to deliver a much improved sound quality over the phones I already use. While they live up to their promise, I found a number of features I did not enjoy so much.
Here's my take:
Pros:
1. According to the folks I speak with regularly, these phones do deliver a much better sound than my old phones.
2. The design is modern and appealing, looking good on desk and night stand.
3. The answering machine is excellent, easy to set up, easy to tell at a glance whether there are new messages.
Cons:
1. As one reviewer has noted, the setup for these phones is not easy for older people. As an "older" person, I can admit that there are too many features for my taste. For example, do I really need a choice of 20 ring tones? Or an intercom/baby monitor for the smaller house I now own?
2. The light on phone bases is too bright, way too bright for bedrooms. I was able to tone it down by covering it with paper stickums, but my solution does not go well with the sleek, modern design. Nevertheless, I prefer to sleep in the dark so the stickum stays!
3. The wall design for the answering machine base is curved along the back side. At first glance, this seems to be a minor beef on my part, but when you install the base on the wall, it becomes more problematic: it rocks on the wall rather than staying flat and stable. That's a problem when you want to return the handset to the base.
All in all, I'd call this phone set a mixed bag. However, if what you're looking for is a phone that delivers quality sound, it may be worth putting up with the negatives, because the set does deliver quality sound.
A very nice phone setup June 24, 2008
This is a very nice setup. I give it 4 stars cause of little difficulty setting it up older folks may have some difficulties at first figuring it out . However thats the only small drawback I can see so far.Its very nice has great audio quality. The built in answering machine is nice I probably won't use it cause I have voicemail through Time Warner Digital phone . I did have a older model Ge digital phone that time warner gave me when I signed up for their service last year. However this setup here the Dect 6.0 I like alot better has some nice features, It looks nice. I Like being able to keep on handset in my living room and the other in my bedroom with my computer telephone/cable modem. I see it has a alarm feature too which I may try out eventually . Its a very nice phone . The free directory google thing is great for us who are always missing our phonebooks which is a great idea btw. 4 stars for a overall great product.
 Handy phone, hook one to a line and the other anywhere June 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I chose this phone because I needed to add an extension in a location where there was not a phone jack already installed, the second phone worked great for this.
The display is quite clear and the blue colored background easy to read. The menus are logical and intuitive. The system was quick to set up. The sound quality is excellent. The button layout mimicks a cell phone rather than a land line.
The goog-1411 feature is kind of cool. Google now runs a free directory assistance service. However, every phone in the world has this, if you dial 1-800-GOOG-411. The Google button on this phone is essentially a speed dial for 1-800-GOOG-411.
So far so good June 18, 2008
I've had the phone for over a month now and it has worked very well. The second handset is great for the upstairs, reception has been good and the system looks good. It was fairly easy to setup although I haven't come close to using all of the functions. The only negative so far is the backlight which initially looks cool but at night seems to light up the entire house.
Great ergonomics, not user friendly June 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was so excited to order this phone. I saw it in Staples and it felt really easy to hold. The design was slim and compact for a new answering machine. It has clear reception, however, sometimes it is hard the hear the other person because they sound very quite. We are also disappointed with the speaker phone. It is not of very good quality.
The biggest problem for me is the menu items and phonebook. It is not a simple push two buttons and you have your phonebook to scroll from. Nor can you save the caller ID numbers directly into your phonebook like other phones. The manual says the caller ID can be stored using a series of menu buttons, but nothing can be saved if there are non-numerical characters. What! caller ID has a name (non-numerical) and that is why we like it. I emailed the company and ask if there was another way I could program the numbers and they emailed me 3 days later to say call the non- 1800 number and try to talk to someone else.
A pro: The Google 411 works great.
My advice, if you want to use the features built into a phone do not buy this one. If you want a phone to just talk on and it feels good in your hand, this one would be okay.
