3.0 out of 5 stars Attractive Phone But Lacks Features, December 27, 2007

I bought these set of phones to update a set of Uniden phones I've been very happy with over the last 3 years.

Admittedly, I bought these phones because of the color display and attractive design. Sadly, I'm disappointed by the lack of features that I'm use to with the comparatively priced Uniden system.

Pros: Color Display, Sound Quality, Range, straight forward interface, clock sets itself, automatic global update (changes made on one handset take effect on all).

Cons: Unable to access answering machine from handsets, display hard to read at many angles, unable to assign ring tones to phone numbers, limited ring tones and wallpaper choices, bulky handsets.

concerns: The LCD display on the handsets, when placed in the charger, is on (dimly) at all times so that the clock is visible. This is wonderful since it means the clock on the display is visible at all times, however this is a low quality LCD display and will likely burn out over time.

Overall, the phones look attractive and easy to use, but I would not recommend choosing this phone over the Unidens just for the color display. If you like features and a more compact package with a more practical LCD display, this phone may not be the right choice for you. I am tempted to return the sets but I have enough rooms to keep both systems around.

There is nothing wrong with the phone, in fact I would recommend it to the technologically challenged user, but I'm looking for a few more advanced features to make the phones work to my expectations.

(UPDATE: 2/15/08) I've discovered another drawback with these phones which is becoming a significant annoyance and one reason I would steer people toward the Uniden phones. The Vtech phone will record a message whether the caller leaves one or not. This means I constantly come home to mailbox full of 1-second blank messages. The Unidens are excellent at detecting and dismissing these sort of hang-up messages. Consider my review 1 star lower.

4.0 out of 5 stars SO FAR SO GOOD..., September 3, 2007

I've had my VTech phone for a couple of weeks now. I haven't had any problems with it. I really love the feature to where I can call up to my daughter's room with the intercome system, instead of yelling up the stairs for her. All you do is press the, "INT" button on the bottom of the phone & put in the handset # your calling to.

The only disappointment I have with this phone is that I wish it would have more wall paper displays & more ring tone options. Other than that, I haven't had any problems so far.

I've had these phones for a couple of years and they are still working great. I can't count the number of times I've dropped the handset and it still works! It has survived a busy family, and that's what matters the most to me!
