Customer Reviews:

keypad goes bad after a year or so + Poor customer service.......2005-01-10

I am very disappointed that after only about a year, the keypad on the handset went bad. I called VTech and they basically told me that I had to buy another new phone.

Guess thats what I'll do...It just won't be another VTech. Very disappointed in the quality and customer service. I will never buy another VTech product again!

Bad Customer Service.......2003-08-20

I bought this phone, absolutely loved it, but when it was just over a year old (just out of warranty), I broke the belt clip. Called V-Tech, they said they couldn't get a clip for it any more. I asked to be bumped up to a supervisor, who nicely said that they were just on order, not in stock, and would I like two when they got them in? I said yes, but two months later when I called, even though they have a record of me as a customer in their system (located by phone number), they had NO RECORD of the previous conversation, and again told me that the belt clip was no longer available.
Nice phone, but I will NEVER order another V-Tech product, because of poor customer service, and being lied to. I have three of their phones, one now has a display that is funky, another has sticking keys. I will eventually replace them with ANY brand except V-Tech, and them write them a letter, telling them why.

Disappointed with this phone.......2003-08-14

I too was disappointed to realize that this phone doesn't have a line-in-use indicator, and that the backup battery will not power the phone during a power outage. Both features were present on earlier VTech models. Also the speakerphone isn't nearly as good as my previous model VTech 2-line. This phone is a big step back, feature-wise. What really burns me is six months out of warranty, the displays on both the base and the handset are losing segments. The handset is no longer readable, and both displays get less readable by the week. VTech wants over half what the phone cost to repair it, and I'm afraid it will just go out again in a year. I don't recommend it.

The worst phone ever.......2003-02-07

The sound quality of this phone is awful. Sometimes you hear a dial tone from the other line. The phone cuts out and rings loudly when the other line rings. I wish I would have returned it. I'm putting this thing in the basement and buying a better quality phone.

It doesn't show extensions in use ..........2003-01-08

... and the lack of that ability makes this telephone totally UNACCEPTABLE!!! Very unfortunate.

I've had a 2-line 900 MHz VTech for years and was only looking to replace it because the display was finally starting to break up, and it didn't know how to deal with the 10-digit dialing now required in my area.

I tried VTech's spendier 2.9 GHz phone, but returned it because it was too complicated to use and I couldn't read the darn screen ... way too tiny, and absolutely impossible to see in any dim lighting!!!

I decided to revert back to one of their 900 MHz models tonight and was just thrilled when I got the 2931 home. It was an improvement from my old model, because not only did the base have a keypad, it also had a display. Best of all, I COULD READ IT!!! And it lit up nicely. I was SO excited ... for about 10 minutes, until I realized that it will now show when an extension has one of the phone lines in use. How ridiculous is this??!! You pick up the phone and are clueless whether someone else is already using the line! How can it be that a feature that worked perfectly fine in their older model is gone in their newer one??!!

I went to the VTech website, and was discouraged to see that it's not just a defect in the particular phone I bought ... they know about this problem. In their Frequently Asked Questions section, here's what they say for WHY DOES THE LINE IN USE INDICATOR NOT LIGHT WHEN AN EXTENSIONIS IN USE: "The phone you have may not show other phones in use. Some phones will only show Line In Use if that phone is being used. Please check your owner's manual for info on how this feature works. If you phone should indicate Line In Use when an extension phone is in use, this feature works by sensing the line voltage that is provided from your local telephone company. When someone picks up an extension phone, the line voltage drops and the Line In Use indicator will turn on. If the line voltage does not drop enough, the Line in Use indicator will not come on. The line voltage needs to drop 7-9 volts for this feature to operate properly. There is nothing wrong with the phone. You can contact your local telephone company for assistance with this problem."

Grrrrr ... I'm returning this phone tomorrow, and I'm really sorry that I have too, because I love how the displays looks, the big buttons and all of the other features of this phone. Shame on you, V-Tech!!!

I own the Ambiance 60, and I have to say that the sound is unbeatable, no matter how loud you play. I thought I'd have to give up sound quality for the convenience of in-ceiling speakers, but these speakers keep surprising me. CDs I've owned for years sound better with these speakers. And I like that they are paintable.

Outstanding Digital Camera.......2007-09-05

I purchased this camera in July 2005. I have taken thousands of pictures with this camera. It's easy to operate. The camera has a lot of functionality to it. It's great for those of us who don't want to move up to a DSLR.

In the two-plus years I've owned the camera, I've not had one problem with it. It just survived a trip to the races at the dirt track in Wheatland, MO.

Perfect for amature enthusiasts who want a little more control over their Photo.......2007-08-23

The Canon Powershot G6 is a nice amera, Physically the camera looks a bit different than the G5, the G6 is narrower and stubbier. The extra Girth supported by the G6 makes it easier to handle than its predecessors. especially those with large hands like me.

What i like about this camera is the 9 point auto focus point, which it got from the higher end SLR professional cameras. Normally, to focus on a subject one has to aim using the center of the camera, where the focusing point is. but what if you want to put some artistic flare into your photo, and what if you have to subjects that are not aligned? by having the 9 auto focus point spread throughout the viewing area, when you press the shutter half way, the camera instantly focuses on all the subjects. it instantly puts squares over what you have in the frame indicating That it has locked on. it will then adjust the settings and the light to give you the best possible shot. The downside of this camera is that it is expensive.

Whether your an amateur enthusiast or a serious Photographer on the verge of going pro the Canon G6 is for you.

The best camera ever owned!.......2007-07-16

This is my third digital camera I have owned, and it is by far the best. It takes wonderful pictures (excellent I must say!) and the rechargeable batteries do last a long time without having to recharge them all the time. I can take about a hundred pictures before I think about recharging them. Yes, I do take pics with the LCD on. I do not find that it is slow turning on and getting ready for the first shot. Mine is really fast. Also, buy a compactflash card that has a 20 MB/sec sequential read/write speed (SanDisk SDCFX3-2048-901 2 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card). With this type of card you will be able to take your next shot immediately.

Love this camera.......2006-04-04

I was in the market to buy a new camera last year and walked into BestBuy alone just browsing. I have an older EOS Canon Rebel 35mm Camera from 1992, and I loved that camera too.

So this was my second camera purchase, and was not sure what I wanted, but I knew what I wanted to take pictures of. I take this camera everywhere, vacations, visiting friends and family, take pictures of scenery, sporting events, and people.

There are a lot of options on this camera that I don't know how to use, but can't wait to learn them too. I upgraded my memory card to 1 GB so I can take a lot of pictures and not have to worry about running out of room.

When I travel or go to a sporting event, I take anywhere from 75 to 200 piictures. I get a lot of compliments on the camera and the photos it takes are great!

Take the "pro-sumer" title seriously.......2006-03-25

This camera has been called a "pro-sumer" model and you should really take that title seriously. The quality of the pictures that it takes are just as good as a professional digital camera of the same resolution. The trade off is that it is really not happy being thrown in a bag (or big pocket, if it fits). Why? Because Canon have given it a really annoying power-on switch that is guaranteed to turn the camera on 90% of the time when you're moving it to or from a bag. To compound this problem, the lens extends (in your bag), pushing off the lens cap and leaving it open for possible damage. So, if you think of this as a professional camera, to be kept in a real camera-case, you'll probably be okay. If you're somebody, like me, who likes to throw his camera in a bag or pocket, you're going to be annoyed by the power switch. That said, I do LOVE the quality of the pictures and all control that the camera gives you over every aspect of taking them.

CONS: stupid power-on switch that always catches and turns camera on; lens cap is kind of loose and falls off easily; widest angle is maybe a little too telephoto still (around 35mm?)

PROS: awesome pictures; tons of controls all over the outside of the camera allowing you to control a lot without having to resort to menus; professional features including flash hot-shoe and replaceable lens; great battery life; awesome pictures
