Was looking for a new cordless phone to replace my old battered BT handset and decided on this. This phone is well built, slim and offers excellent voice quality even on the "eco" mode which is supposed to reduce power consumption though it (allegedly) decreases range. Considering this also has a 60 min answering machine built in, the base is really compact and very simple to operate. Not sure if this is a feature available on all answering machines but you can also access your answering machine remotely through a 4 digit pin which is a brilliant idea...goodbye BT 1571! I also love the really cool Philips Simplicity 'ping' everytime you put the handset on the base unit. The Salsa polyphonic ringtone is very mesmerising, other ringtones are nothing special though
One thing you should be wary about is that the cable supplied from base unit to BT socket is only RJ11 to RJ11. You will find a adaptor somewhere in package which converts one end of RJ11 to BT socket connector. Granted not a big deal, but i initially thought they had sent the wrong type of cable! (until i found the adaptor)
All in all, a top quality phone...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Avoid this phone. I bought it because of the 1hr recording time, which is good. But that's where the pro's end, then its con's all the way. Where to start with those. The phone's logic is poor, requiring several button presses to carry out functions that should take one press. It is also slow, and if you know what buttons you are pressing, the phone doesn't keep up, which means you end up engaging functions you don't want, then having to wait for the phone to catch up before you can cancel and go back to what you wanted in the first place.
The icons on the display are rubbish, for example the battery icon is so narrow you can't tell how much battery time is remaining! Basically if it flashes it has less than 100%. The connector on the base of the phone doesn't make good contact with the base, so the phone will light up and make its ding dong sound long after you have replaced it in the base. Whilst on the subject of the base, it has no ringer, so if the handset is in another room, you won't know the phone is ringing.
The sound quality is very good, and it should be as Philips make such a big thing about that in their blurb about this phone. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the signal fading in and out and being very weak even close to the base, so this largely negates the quality of the sound, as the poor signal brings its own audible problems.
When the phone's call list fills up (50 calls), the phone sometimes freezes and needs to be master reset, which wipes out everything, including your stored numbers and outgoing message. When you delete your incoming messages that you've listened to, they do not delete, but rather return to haunt you, with new messages just being added to the head of the queue, your deleted messages are still there when listening via the handset.
I've had the phone too long to return it now but I won't be putting up with it for much longer. It has to go.

The design of this product is beautfiful and sleek. The phone is very easy to use and hold, and the menu options are extremely easy to understand. The only issue I have this phone is that the choice of ringtones isn't great. Some of the tones are fun but thats not always what you want from a house phone, and they don't have the traditional ringtone. Other than that I would recommend this phone.
