Available in both silver & black, both the handset & base system are slim, sleek & attractive.
A large lcd backlit screen makes it easy to see numbers & features clearly plus the blue lighting effect on the keypad is a good indicator as to whether calls have been missed or new messages have been received.
Fully featured menu that is very similar to those found on a mobile phone only it's actually easier to navigate.
Longer than average recording time plus extended battery life.
POOR
As the phone is so slim the buttons have been designed to be slim too in which case it makes it more difficult to operate as there is a tendancy to press 2 buttons at once & if you have large digits then potentially you could end up pressing several buttons at once when dialling.
However I haven't really had a problem using the keypad & once numbers are added to contacts (phone book) then it's a case of selecting contact from menu & pressing the main dial button
A very modern phone current with other household technological products available today.

£: Cost Price March 2007: £69.99 from Argos £: Cost Price January 2008: £59.99 from ArgosI purchased this phone as I was looking for a digital phone that was stylish & compact with good function & sound quality. It had the speaker phone along with extended recording time on the answering machine. This wasn't the most expensive phone nor the cheapest but definitely money well spent. (having purchased some of the cheaper models, various brands, after approx 6-8months they had to be replaced) so at least with this phone you are getting a product that is of a quality that will last so definitely great value for money.
Having had a number of cordless phones in the past both analogue & digital this has been the best by far, I have never had any problems what so ever with signal reception, sound quality & battery function (all of which have been major problems with some of the other phones I have owned), this phone works as well as it did when I first bought it & shows no sign of quality failure.
I would happily recommend this phone to everyone as I don't think you can go wrong with it, whether you use all of the functions or not it's a great phone at a reasonable price!!!
