Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this about a month ago to replace my old 900mHz analog cordless phone at home. I don't use the phone very much at home; probably about 30~60 minutes a day. So far, very satisfied with the phone. But here are the things I noticed:
1. Very good sound quality. Hard to tell whether it's a cordless phone or not. Also, I love the volume control button in the middle which I can easily adjust with my thumb as I talk depending on the volume of noise in the surrounding area. The handset's ear piece volume control has 3 different levels of volume.
2. Speaker phone feature. Although not full duplex (I wouldn't expect that anyway at this price range), it works almost flawlessly. Speaker phone feature both at the handset and at the base. Both are very good. The volume level of the handset speaker phone feature has 6 different levels and the base speaker phone had 8 different levels. Also, switching to/from regular handset use with the ear piece and from/to the handset speakerphone feature is very easy; just press the "talk" button to use the ear piece and "sp-phone" to use it as a speaker phone.
3. Ear phone jack is also available on the handset. This is also very useful.
4. The key pad on the base is also very handy. I can use the base as a phone even if I don't have the handset, i.e., if and when I misplace the handset (although the handset would be easy to find with the locator function) or if and when the handset's battery dies.
5. Small foot print of the base is also a plus.
6. Good range. I also tested the range. I walked around the block to see how well it worked in the neighborhood. With a clear view to my house (wooden structure), I could be about 100 steps away and still get a clear reception. When multiple buildings were in between, the range was only about 30~40 yards (my guess). But from inside of my detached garage, there was no problem at all. I think I should be able to use this phone from inside of my neighbor's house, which is located about 20 feet away from my house.
7. Answering machine is simple to use.
8. Battery life is shorter than my old analog phone. My old analog phone, on stand by, lasted about 2 weeks. I think this one lasts about a week on stand by.
