 For a 2.4 GHz phone, the range was horrible. I got much better reception with my old 900 MHz. Also, it would be nice if the channels automatically changed when needed, since the reception was so bad (you had to change often). The caller ID was also weird in that if you picked up the phone and missed the call, that number wouldn't be in the caller ID. Overall, we were surprisingly very unhappy with the phone, and just returned it.
The phone has all the basic features of a caller ID cordless phone, and they all work as expected, so I won't elaborate on that. Most people are just concerned about sound quality, and the sound quality on this phone is great. It's also very stylish in a very understated way -- there aren't tons of buttons, lights, and garish colors on this thing, but I like that and it was a factor in my purchasing decision. Probably the only BAD thing about this phone is the ring volume isn't as loud as I like. I live in a small apartment, so it's not such a big deal, but to some it may be. You have a choice of three ring tones, and the loudest one is the most annoying, sadly enough. If the only drawback to a ($) phone is its ring volume, then I think we have a winner.
Pros: Cons: (mostly minor annoyances) |
First this is not Motorola's first cordless phone. I had one 10 years ago, it looked like a cell phone and the reception was bad. I have the exact same 2.4 GHz phone by motorola but in black and it works great! I'm going to buy 2 more today. Hope the quality isn't different because of the new look.
I went through several cordless phones and couldn't find one with good reception in my area until I found this one. It far surpasses the rest. It also has excellent battery life. Just in holding and using it, it feels like a product that's going to withstand a lot of use. It was worth the purchase price and I plan to buy more for the rest of the house.
