Nice phone, but *not* available in multiple colors
(5 out of 5) by craigzon harmer on May 11, 2006 (san francisco)i originally gave this phone 5 stars, but after the issue i had with the speakerphone i'd reduce it to 4 stars but amazon doesn't seem to let me.
Although some sellers say this phone is Black or Graphite, apparently it comes in only one color, Titanium Blue. Titanium Blue is kind've a dark grey color with a slight bluish cast.
You can find the two different listings by their ASIN number or by the tag i added -- ATT974.
B000F74RJ8 Graphite (this one)
B0002YY1HW Titanium Blue
I would prefer that it came in black, but other folks like the blue/grey color.
I wound up returning the phone that i ordered because i didn't like the speakerphone on conference calls. i have AT&T 870 which is over 10 years old and works incredibly well, but it's not a multi-line phone. that speaker phone works very well in conference calls where there's a speaker phone on the other end as well, but this one doesn't. this one seems to have a kind of "half-duplex" mode of operation where i can either speak or hear what other folks are saying, but not both. when there's background noise at the other end, it doesn't work well. in contrast, my old 870 seems to have some kind of variable mute mode where it adjusts the volume at each end incrementally depending no who it thinks is talking more.
i've read the reviews of a lot of the multi-line speaker phones here, and nobody seems very happy with the speaker phones except for the Polycom phones, and even with it there are a number of complaints. i think i'll try one of those next.
other than the speaker phone issue and my personal dislike for the color, it's a very nice phone. if the other feature are more important i'd suggest you buy it.
