Sounds very good on paper and looks great with one of the best colour screens around, but...the phone does not like to sit on the charger and keeps bleeping on and off. Never quite sure if it's charging or not, have to keep checking the screen? Screen turns off in cradle, most others stay on. The answer machine is accessed via a long menu system, a on/off button would be nice - it's the thing most people use on a regular basis so why the menu access? Range not good, has lost signal when in the garden, not had that on other DECT phones. Ring tones pre-loaded are awful, sounds like a kids arcarde game and not easy to change. On the plus side the key pad is very good and saving names via the sim card is great.
