Advantages: Corded base unit, cordless DECT handset, raft of features. Disadvantages: Nothing specific
For some people, the mere concept of a phone with no cord, no connection, no visible means of support, is right up there with keeping an aeroplane in the sky and microwave popcorn. "I mean, how......just how.....?" For others, the convenience of an handset you can take literally anywhere in your house is unsurpassed. Cooking advice as you stand at the stove; business consultation as you contemplate your toes in the bathroom; identification of greenfly ... ...you lay in your bed.
Cordless phones, even the latest DECT digital generation, have one major disadvantage They cannot be used in the event of a power cut. So, in a rural situation prone to the odd blackout, it seemed that I was doomed to be tethered to a corded phone. And just the one in the sitting room unless I ran an extension cord halfway across the East Midlands to get a phone in my bedroom.
Then I saw this combo in the Argos catalogue. A ...

Advantages: Ideal for home business, great features, price, looks smart Disadvantages: Cannot be used during a power cut / emergency, can be complicated.
When looking for a home phone , i spent ages trying to find a set up that would work for our situation, a duplex 2 bed appartment with one bedroom turned into an office for my hobby and hopefully future business as a freelance photographer.
I wanted a desk top phone as i know that the other half has a habit of losing cordless phones, so having one tied to the desk makes sense, especially if there important calls.
We also decided that a cordless ... ...general home usage.
This was one of the only set-ups i found that actually combined the two in one package, at a very reasonable price, a Big plus.
The phones themselves are actually incrediably good, definately a lot more than i expected, very good clear audio on both the desk phone and the cordless (even outside and a good range)
The desk phone has a wealth of features , so many i havent really had the need to go past the basics of the answerphone(a ...

Advantages: Speakerphone on both handset and base Disadvantages: Some features may be a bit difficult to set up and use
The Good:
- price
- good display, nice features
- good range. 300 meters seems correct.
- base works when power is off. Remembers memory afterwards.
- speaker on the base and handset ie. handsfree
- not affected by computer or wireless modem devices.
The Bad:
- no keypad backlight for handset. - base and handset cannot be used at same time for one call. So if you pick up a call with the base, you cannot then use the handset to also talk.
... ...can only be used from the handset even though the message light flashes on the base (very strange)
- would be nice if the handset automatically answered a call when you lifted it off its charging station.
Overall:
Its a good basic system for the price! It beats other phone's with higher prices and has all the components I need in a phone system. I didn't have a problem with the memory. It is a bit difficult to set up but once they are in its fine. ...

Quick review of Binatone Fusion 2510 TWIN
Seriously disappointing. The blurb says "120 memory". In fact, it's limited to 80 on the corded and 40 on the wireless...but the corded can't even take 80 if there are more than a few characters in the name (I got it to 41).
Plus, it's a terribly laborious process putting records into memory...and almost as bad actually using them.
I'm taking the one I bought back. Absolutely not fit for purpose, and mis-described on the package. ...
