Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
When beauty is the call, the ID555 is the answer. This "Design Collection" phone is made to delight senses with its elegant slim lines and a pure sound to match. The ID555 is the perfect addition to the most exclusive home interior.
Speakerphone
Hands-free mode uses a built-in loudspeaker to amplify the voice of the caller, allowing you to speak and listen during a call without holding the phone to your ear. This is especially useful if you want to share the call with others or take notes during a call.
Very low energy consumption
Thanks to a high efficiency power supply, the overall energy consumption is reduced by more than 50% compared to a conventional power supply.
Automatic power reduction
Thanks to an intelligent embedded system, the transmitted power is permanently controlled and optimised depending on the distance between handset and base unit.

Purchased this phone last week and must tell you what I think! It looks fantastic, is so very easy to use and the battery seems to last ages before needing re-charging. All in all a fabulous phone - very stylish - however - the ringer volume is not the loudest even when set to maximum. In fact every time the phone rings I think it is the television so it never gets answered. Some people would love that! Nevertheless, can anyone help me raise the volume?

If you are buying a set of phones I would recommend this model. I purchased this set to replace an old but expensive set so I was after features, build quality and clarity.
Features. - The best is one I did not realise until later. It was said these phones take a second to access stored info (phone shows an egg timer). I realised this is because all the info is stored on the base unit and you are using the phone to access the relevant info. Why have Phillips done this. Well if numbers and caller ID is stored on the phone, and you have multiple phones, you have to add the same numbers and caller IDs to all the phones. With this system you add info using one handset. Then, which ever handset you pick up all the info is the same! Perfect. Once you realise this, it's not a slow system. The different ring tones for different callers is also useful. So if flight of the bumble bee is playing I know it's my parents before I rush to the phone.
Build quality - Yes build quality is lacking, however I have not been able to find a quality handset and I have looked at many. If you take the battery out of any phone they all seem tacky and plastic. I nearly purchase the Bang and Olusfen Beocom 2 just for the build quality but >350 for a single phone was too much. Build quality dropped from my list of wants. To be honest, this phone is quite good and stylish.
Clarity - just as good as any other high end phone or maybe better. Speaker phone is exceptionally clear, for both you and the caller!

The two set phone is quite eye-catching, Its design is quite sleek, the handling of the phone is quite comfortable:
The Pros:

2. Second set gets identified automatically.
3. Each set can be identified with a separate designation on its panel.
4. Connectivity of set-2-set over cordless connection, no need for wiring installation.
5. Optimum for a multi-store house.
6. Multi tone selection, can choose a separate tone for each set.
7. Shared Address book of 200 entries.
8. Elegant look & feel.
The Cons:
1. Some of the features are not enabled until the set is connected to the base unit (Date & Time Settings).
2. Using it in Cairo Egypt, other Country settings beside UK & Egypt need to be explored with the vendor.
Overall a very efficient, elegant and aesthetically gratifying purchase.

Good looking phone, voice volumes could be higher
Great looking stylish phones. Great soec phone. The only part I would improve would be the sound. Even at the highest setting it can be sometimes still too quiet.
