Im not an impulse shopper.I really needed to replace our old system and I thought this was a very unique looking phone.I real eye catcher. So I read many reviews.I went to the store and personally looked at,picked up and examined the phone.I bought the base-phone in the store but couldn't find the extra handsets anywhere in stores.Needless to say I was on a mission.Thanks to Amazon.com I now have 3 handsets.So many features,too many to list.The reception is very good and I like being able to use the handset-to-handset feature to communicate throughout the house instead of yelling.Did I mention that this phone is so sleek and attractive? Yes the face plate smudges but a simple wipe with the provided cloth takes care of that.I would have expected the price to be higher but it wasn't any more expensive than the phones I was replacing.

I bought this additional handset from Amazon but the corresponding phone from a B&M supplier here. The phone looks gorgeous and the sound from the speaker is great.
For some reason when paired through Bluetooth to my iphone, the volume gets only reasonable volume when I use the loudspeaker function.
The bluetooth phone also only auto reconnects when you initiate the pairing and connection from the base. The auto reconnect also only works when the iphone is not already paired to another device which means that it does not retry to reconnect when a connection fails unlike the Panasonic equivalent.

This phone also does not sync the contact list from your cell phone... kind of disappointing.

Things I like about the phone:

1. Excellent voice quality;
2. Excellent reception - even across 2 floors;
3. Bluetooth works great - even if the phone was a floor away - not sure to credit phone or my Blackberry;
4. Single directory of phone numbers - pro or con depending on how you see it;
5. Sleek & sexy; and
6. Conferencing does work - saves me the cost of a 2nd line at home!

The minor things I find slightly annoying:

1. Finger-print magnet;
2. Although screen is usable, it is not high-res nor colour;
3. Phone cannot stand upright with any stability;
4. No visual indicator from afar that there are messages - have to unlock and look at display; and
5. Plethora of ring tones leaves you wanting more as they are more annoying than pleasant.

Nice features and good over all. Only draw back is the battery pack is proprietary, basically two AAA batteries wrapped in plastic. so when I need replacement I'll have to pay 5x the cost of a pair of rechargeable AAA batteries.

Dear friends,
Amazon is the best for online shopping. This phone is really good and love the touch screen. Thanks Amazon for the best deal.
