4.0 out of 5 stars Forewarned is forearmed, December 3, 2008

By	S. Haines (Essex, Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After considerable research (and reading all these reviews) I chose this phone for its many features. Chief among them are it's base keypad, DECT 6.0 technology and bluetooth capability. In a week of use I have found a few of the quality issues mentioned by others such as the occasionally inoperative center button. By and large though I find the quality acceptable.

There are two issues, however, which cause me to knock a few points off this phone's ranking. The first may be more my misunderstanding than the phone's fault. I bought this phone thinking I could use my cellphone and Plantronics earpiece together. Not so. Both the Cell Fusion and my cellphone (LG 8350) only accept one bluetooth connection at a time. I also thought one could use the cellphone to make or receive a landline call. Not so. Think of this phone a giant bluetooth earpiece. A cell call is still a cell call, incoming or outgoing. Also, after purchase I learned that the phone will not connect to my Plantronics bluetooth earpiece. Only cellphones allowed.

The second disappointment is the internal phone book. While it is nice that you can transfer names/numbers from base to multiple handsets and vice versa you can only do them one at a time. If you have 150 names with alternate numbers (home, office, cell) this is beyond tedious. I have no idea why they don't have a simple routine to transfer the entire phone book. Likewise, there is no way to dump the phone book. One at a time for each unit. This is a pain and should be fixed.

All in all, not a bad product. Voice quality is excellent and the phone's many other features make it worthy of consideration. Tech support personal are friendly, sometimes helpful, sometimes frustratingly mis-informed. It took about six calls to get the cellphone issues resolved. But at least they answer when you call. Forewarned is forearmed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Functionality but Cheap Handset, September 27, 2008

By	Classof64 (California) - See all my reviews

Easy to set up. Bluetooth paired with Sanyo Katana LX and automatically reconnects flawlessly. My wife loves that she can leave her cell in her purse and answer calls on the house phone. Each handset and Base can each hold up to 200 contacts, but have to transfer each contact individually (would prefer to program one and transfer whole phonebook to other sets).

Only negative so far is that handsets seem cheap. Center 4 position button sometimes doesn't respond. A few times have had feedback between microphone and earpiece with volume on max. Operation after two weeks is acceptable but have concerns as to the reliability of the handsets. If they fail, I will update my review.

Update:11/17/08. I would lower my rating to a 3-. In addition to the cheap handsets, the answering machine playback volume is too low. With volume turned to maximum, many recordings are barely audible. If/when Panasonic offers a DECT 6.0, Bluetooth, answer maching phone, I will switch.

5.0 out of 5 stars so far ... so good, August 5, 2008

By	S. Halet (CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We liked the technology of using the home phone make / receive our cell phone calls. Originally we started with the "Panasonic KX-TH1212 DECT 6.0 Expandable Bluetooth Cell Link Convergence Telephone System" with no such luck.

I tested this out today with the IPhone and success (after the 16 hour required charge time).

The range of the bluetooth (cell to base) started to cut out at about 30 ft. or so. That's good enough if my wife leaves her cell in her purse. The bluetooth can be set to look for the cell phone bluetooth but the default is 1 min so we did not change it.

The set up was very easy. No need to open any instructions. There are little reminders (tiny slips of paper) insisting on a initial 16 hour charge time. If you cant wait (like me) just use the base only for the 16 hour time.
