4.0 out of 5 stars Very good phone, November 9, 2007

This review is from: Philips ID9371B/37 Enhanced High DefVoice Digital Cordless Phone with Single Handset (Office Product)

Pros: Great design, excellent sound quality, very clear screen, easy to use, many great features.
Cons: few wallpapers, no light message indicator, no PC connection.

In general - excellent phone. It's NOT chiming every 30 minutes, like it was mentioned in some reviews, and I didn't have any problems setting it up and use. Great design, excellent sound quality, very convenient to use, very clear color screen. Has some nice features like alarm, import phonebook from SIM card, speakerphone etc.

Couple minor drawbacks: Answering machine works great for me, however, when message is recorded, the indicator appears on the screen only, so you don't see it from the distance. It would be nice if there was a light flashing either on the handset or on the base. Also, from the phone of this class you could expect the PC connection so you could upload the phone book and wallpapers. Some other phones like VTech have this feature. You can upload the address book from the SIM card, but you cannot upload wallpapers. The phone has only five wallpapers, and they are not very exciting.

Despite these minor issues, this is the best phone we had so far.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 9, 2007

This review is from: Philips ID9371B/37 Enhanced High DefVoice Digital Cordless Phone with Single Handset (Office Product)

I am returning this phone, which I purchased from Frontgate. The sound quality is good, but it occasionally breaks up for no apparent reason -- like a cell phone, chopping every other word. It has several annoying quirks: a red light that flashes on top to indicate there are calls in your caller id (and doesn't stop after you view them); an answering system that has to be accessed through several levels of menus; a default display clock that pulsates with different levels of brightness on two of the four handsets I bought; a date which displays in the European fashion (e.g., Nov. 9 is 9-11); etc. Don't believe the hype about less interference with wireless networks either -- my router makes this thing buzz in a way my 5.8 GHz phones never did. But the most ridiculous thing is the price -- four DECT 6.0 handsets with base unit from Panasonic cost less than this handset plus base unit alone. Once I realized this, I decided to switch.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality phone, August 4, 2007

This review is from: Philips ID9371B/37 Enhanced High DefVoice Digital Cordless Phone with Single Handset (Office Product)

I purchased this phone after seeing it advertised in Frontgate. It was difficult to set-up and required many resets before the answering machine would play my outgoing message and record incoming messages. The number of rings function did not work properly. I am now returning it because when I do receive a call and the caller leaves a message, the phone acts as if it is off the hook for an extended period of time.
