Great stuff

Advantages: Comfy, easy, reasonable in price.
Disadvantages: Not many messages can be held

I have owned a pair of these phones for just under a month, but i still believe they are so good, that i can write a review about them - and trust them for the future. USABILITY: Very easy to use, Buttons are nice and easy to press, and not too small either. The menu button is out of the way of other buttons, this makes it easy to find, and use. (It's just below the screen). After some "testing" of the phone, I found it very easy to transfer calls ...
...menu is wonderfully easy to manage, with nice big letters, you can see exactly what you are doing. On the first screen when you first pick up the handset, you will see the battery icon, the name of the phone (which you can change), the handset number of the phone (useful if you have more than one handset), and the time. It's also very easy to see whether you have any recorded messages. The actual phone is shaped in such a nice way that it fits perfectly ...

Review of Magic Box Colombo

BNibbles Can't Come To The Phone Right Now

Advantages: Very versatile and intuitive to use. SMS-enabled
Disadvantages: I still get phone calls

...Red Dwarf fans. The BT Verve 450 Twin was what we bought, although I see from subsequent price searches, we 'were done' by Currys having been charged the full BT RRP of nigh-on 80 quid and during a January sale to boot. That'll teach me to make impulse buys! PHYSICAL SET-UP Leaping straight to the 'leave this to me, who needs instructions?' approach we did indeed get us most of the way to a working duet of cordless phones, but that's about as ...
...the Caller ID function from BT or whoever you pay your line rental to helps as this supposedly absolves you of the need to set the date and time - this is done apparently when the first call comes in. This is fine if you don't buy old stock or buy 'on the cusp' of a new year. This can lead to your answering machine reporting the correct time that calls were received but getting the day wrong. Don't rush to take it back as faulty - it's only the manual ...

Review of BT Verve 450 TWIN

Cordless Clarity

Advantages: Stylish, easy to use, outstanding battery life
Disadvantages: Don't expect the colour screen to be like your mobile phone!

...online and spied upon the Siemens Gigaset C475 Triple available for the bargain price of £50 - so far as I was concerned this set had my name on it, and it was duly snapped up. Setting Up This was relatively straightforward - firstly I inserted batteries in the handsets and decided where I was going to locate the main base station, then I connected the base station to both the mains and the telephone socket, and charged up the main phone. The ...
...say the sound on this Siemens set is marginally better than that I got on the BT Synergy set. There is a useful loudspeaker function and each handset also has a headphone socket for 2.5mm jack connectors, which means you can be as public or as private as you want when making a call with the set. I have also used the phone to send text messages on occasion, although given my mobile phone contract gives me a large number of texts included, this is ...

Review of Siemens Gigaset C475

BT Graphic 1500 twin

Advantages: Can't think of any
Disadvantages: See review poor volume and lack of clarity

...they were poor quality, but BT still sell them at full list and Tesco prices are also now back up to £50+. Also you need internet access to view the full instruction leaflet as BT pack only a single-sheet potted version with the phones in order to "save the planet". We are now shopping for a Panasonic or similar. ...

Review of BT Graphite 1500

Angels sent by the Devil

Advantages: Lots of features, good sound quality, looks great.
Disadvantages: It's a phone.

...with a twin pack of BT Graphite 1100’s. You can get the g1100’s in anything from a one pack (£27) to a four pack (£73) depending on how many phones you require for your needs and how much money you have. They are, however, at the lower end of the price range for wireless phones. In quick style, I disposed of my old bricks of burden and hooked up these babies. The base is circular with a little cut out for the hand set to lean back in. Both the hand ...
...used when on hold to BT for hours on my old phones. I’d transfer the call to the other handset so the battery could last. That shouldn’t be an issue with these babies, however, as the box tells me there are up to 10 hours talking time in the batteries when they are fully charged and 100 hours (over 4 days) of standby time so you can leave your phones lying around and not worry about the battery running down. Like most phones, these will beep at you ...
