V-Tech DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone with Caler ID

This is the best Vtech made so far. I have owned other Vtech phones but this one performs better then any other cordless phone I have owned. Far superior to Panasonic and other brands. Sound quality is very good, style is great and the features are very easy to use and technically advanced. I like the fact that I can program one handset with all my phone numbers in the directory and it automatically transfers the directory to all my other handsets. The blue tooth feature works! Now I can answer my cell phone through this phone system. My house is 2 stories and the range of the handsets reaches every room with no static or interference. Only feature I wish Vtech had on this phone is the warning light they had on some of their earlier models that lets you know when you have a voice mail message waiting. Voice mail messages show up in the LCD display. I just ordered additional handsets for my house since we like this system so much.

Review

I've been in the market for a Bluetooth-enabled home phone for the past 10 months, but every review of such products has been more or less negative. I first caught a glimpse of this new phone at the the Engadget website [...] earlier in the year. After finding it at a local Fry's I purchased one with 3 extra handsets from Amazon. Here are my impressions after 3 days of use:

Things I Like:

1. Full soft-touch surface. No buttons, very nice styling. A key-lock activates after 10 seconds.

2. Speaker phone is loud and clear. Call quality is likewise loud and clear, but have to turn up the volume for cellular calls.

3. Separate buttons to make home and cellular phone calls.

4. Ability to join home and cellular calls into a 3-way conference.

5. Ability to make one home and one cellular call at the same time.

6. Different ringtones for incoming home and cellular calls allows you to differentiate between them immediately.

7. Automatic synchronization of the address book. You can add/edit the phone book entries on any handset (or base) and all handsets are synchronized immediately.

8. DECT 6.0 for minimal interference and good privacy.

9. Digital answering machine with all the requisite features (including access from another phone).

10. Price. I was expecting the base unit to cost at least $100. Extra handsets are only $39.95 at Amazon.
