When it works it's great...........2007-09-16

I've had this phone for a little over a year. I'll be continuing my quest for a good cordless phone soon. Right off the bat the phone's battery life was significantly shorter than others I've owned(Panasonic, Uniden, AT&T) as (I believe) the color LCD eats up plenty o' battery life. Also, it frequently drops calls. We'll be talking and the phone drops the call and displays "searching for base." If finds the base after a few seconds but the call is lost. This has nothing to do with a low battery as it occurs when there's a full charge and nothing to do with distance as we're never more than 5'-30' from the base.

Minor annoyances...

- Our #5 and #9 keys have been sticking lately and either double dialing the digit or not at all. This now requires a very slow and solid push to each button when dialing.

- When you answer the phone there is a one second delay until the call actually picks up so if you say 'hello' right away as one would normally do the caller on the other end either hears nothing or "...o" necessitating a second 'hello.'

On the plus side the range is great. I've wandered >200' from the base and still carried on a conversation. The short battery life and other failings have doomed this phone to a box in basement as a backup in the very near future.

These systems are touch and go at best. Be Warned........2007-04-10

These phone systems are touch and go. The first time I got it, my system lasted about a year. I got it brand new and just released fresh from Vtech. After a year the phone started messing up, people weren't able to hear me speak but I could hear them fine for no good reason. If I remember correctly, I got the unit the first time in either late 03 or very early 04 and had to return it in late 04. Then I struck gold on the second system which again was brand new and has lasted me until about a day ago (April 07) when now the charging mechanism and base unit have gone nuts suddenly. I'm trying a hard reset to see if it works or not. But my point is that this is a really good system for people who want to invest in them, as long as you get one that actually works. The features are super easy to use, the phone is crystal clear and unlike some cordless phones can be used easily with VoIP services. Using regular rechargeable AA batteries are superb in my book as well...no more hunting for proprietary brand batteries that are basically 2 or 3 AA batteries @ $18-$22. If my system is truly broken and I can't buy a brand new replacement, I'll probably get the ones Vtech now offers.

This phone is horrible!.......2007-04-08

The first several months with this phone was okay, and I liked that you could buy additional handsets. But after a few months, things went downhill. There would be random times when the caller would be unable to hear me, even though I could hear them just fine. I had my phone line checked, and it was fine. Then we even switched to a cable phone line, and it still happens, so I know it's the phone itself and not the service provider. Now I have buttons that aren't working. So between the non-functioning buttons and calls that blank-out, I think it's very much time to start phone shopping. I'm steering clear of Vtech!!

Great set of phones.......2006-12-26

I was so tired of finding all the phones in my teenagers room. So I bought this phone, and 4 handsets. I gave my daughter the cool color phone, the rest I told her were not allowed in her room.

It worked like a charm. The base unit has a place for extra batteries to charge, so she never runs out of juice (you have to buy the batteries to go in there). It is easily to find lost units by paging them by number. It was super easy to setup. My daughter has programmed her handset to announce, in her voice, every one of her friends that calls her (some more enthusiastically than others).

I have no problem with the sound quality, it sounds just a good as any phone I have had. It does not seem to interfere with my wireless lan. The battery life has never been an issue for anyone but the teenager (I think she forgets to put her phone on the charger), but that is mitigated by the extra batteries in the base unit. The three mail boxes provide the kids their own message center.

I would buy it again. Love it.

Excellent value.......2006-12-25

I have used this set, with 2 extra handsets, for well over a year. I work from home and the hands free operation using either the base station or a handset is ideal. I also use a Panasonic KX-TCA92 headset with the handset and get excellent reception and clarity both is what I say and what I hear. My house is 3 stories and the base station is in a loft bedroom. The handset works in the lowest room OK

Very good phone at a good price. My only advice is when the time comes for new rechargeable batteries only buy good quality name brands.

Overhyped low quality speakers.......2004-02-04

Bose is a fascinating case study of what the power of advertising can do for products that are acknowledged within the audio industry as being cheaply made and technically outperformed by all of its competiters. Based on audio theories from the 1960's and parts of lower quality than what can be bought at Radio Shack, Bose has built an incredible empire out of poorly designed products driven by a huge advertising budget creating an aura of "Bose".

Consumers should do their research before shelling out money for Bose speakers. A google search will bring you to epinions or audioreview websites where you can find review after review, mostly negative, from buyers of Bose products.

The commonly accepted wisdom in the audio industry is that Bose makes low audio quality products and sells them at very high prices. In other words those Polk, JBL, Wharfedale or Infinity mid-fi products you can find at Amazon are usually higher quality at much better price points.

Compare the sound if you ever get a chance. Make sure you DO NOT depend on volume, in other words volume is a bad indicater of quality. Listen for the high and low notes and to the clarity of the music. Tough to do in a showroom at Circuit City or Best Buy, but even there the differences will show up. Bose attempts to prevent consumers from doing this by segregating their products away from the competition.

After this you might look at online audio magazines (do a google search), Audioreview (one word) and Audiogon. You'll find whole NEW world of audio products such as PSB, Paradigm, Vandersteen, Quad, Sonus Faber, ACI and many more who's products will put you on a much higher level of audio than you'd ever imagine. Usually these speakers are SEVERAL times more electronically sophisticated than Bose at the same price! What you won't find in these websites of magazines are Bose articles. Bose just isn't taken seriously by the industry.

Good luck and happy hunting!
