Advantages: A wide range of special features not available on other phones. Disadvantages: Not for fat fingers and a price to flinch at.
...you, like me, saw the BT Calypso (Triple) in a shop or catalogue and are very tempted. Bursting with all those extra features, it seems like the crème de la crème of phones – but the price reflects this and restrained me from buying this phone – until about a month ago. With my old one slowly packing up, and then discovering a BT Calypso Triple ‘buy-it-now for £89’ on e-bay, I almost kissed the courier when he finally delivered it to my door.
But ... ...mobile SIM card to the BT Calypso handset.
And it has an ANSWERING MACHINE with 20 mins recording time. You can use the default or record your own message i.e.
‘Hello, this is the ‘surname’ family answering machine. Goodness knows where we are at the moment, but please leave a message and someone will get back you when they turn up.’
It has a BIG COLOUR SCREEN – displaying icons for - battery life, time, range, and the name of the phone, which ...

Advantages: Good Price & a great looking phone Disadvantages: Cheap & nasty with buttons that are too small
...as you sign up with BT for it. This cost around a fiver a quarter but I always know when my mother in law is calling so it's well worth it :-)
Text messages may be sent and received although I have never had cause to do it & I'm sure that some people will find it useful
The unit has eight polyphonic ring tones & I am forced to say that they are all pretty naff with the one my wife choose sounding a bit like a Lionel Ritchie song
There is also ... ...enough to know that many people.
Phone FEATURES
Keypad lock Last number redial - 20 Call list - 50 Hands free (useful for ringing my ISP help line !!!)
Five really cool Games
Mute button another one for my Mother in Law !
Call timer Date & time feature
Alarm Clock that we use at weekends
Caller ID copy to phonebook, again useful when you are updating your phone book
The Talk time is listed at 10 hours but I hope I never get the chance test ...

Advantages: sim copy Disadvantages: a bit quiet, strange ringtones
A good phone with easy to use menu system. sim phone copy is a great feature, Answer phone work well very simple to use. the ringtones are not so good all seem to be calypso based. It misses a short cut to favorite numbers feature so you have to go the full list of numbers to phone people. Although frequently dailed numbers can often quickly be found in the dailed numbers list saving time finding them. the earpiece volume is a little low (not terrible ... ...hold just away from your ear if this is a problem.
Ive added my calypso 1100 to the system so 5 phones work of one unit (5 is the max) but the 1100 wont access the answer phone.
This phone is maybe not so good for a bedroom as the screen stays illuminated permanently and lights up the room quite a lot
At present ( Oct 07) this product is £85 at comet online (use the £15 discount at checkout) ...

Advantages: Looks nice Disadvantages: keypad is small
I bought this from a catalougue so paid loads more than i should have anyways, but i do thisnk this i really overpriced. Not a phone I would recommend. Looks are great and looks lovely sat on the dinning room table but the faults are huge. Keypad is very small which makes misdialing easy. The speakerphone function is very quiet and of no real use for conference calls. Battery life is very disappointing as well - in normal use I got a day out of it, ...

Advantages: built in phonebook, can read numbers from sim cards! Disadvantages: beeps when put on charge
Just like a mobile phone you can store all your familys numbers so you no longer need a number and address book, and best of all instead of copying every number into the phone you simply insert your mobile phones sim card into the base and it copies all the numbers onto the phones memory. You can send sms messages from the handset, choose a screensaver, play games and comes with a choice of ringtones. Why have a mobile phone??? The hand set also ...
