Good Looking Phones that do the Job

Advantages: nice feel/weight, easy to use
Disadvantages: full instructions only available online

My old BT set of walk about phones with ans machine were looking bit tired so I looked round for a replacement. My first pick was a BT diversity set but the views on Ciao were all bad so I kept looking, The Verve 450 series caught my eye next because of its good look (glossy black finish)and feel (substantial weight and size) so after taking a careful look at the features and testing out the feel of the thing I took a chance and bought it,and Im ...
...of phone. Being a BT phone there is a BT button giving instant access to several BT services at a single click, these include directory inquiries and the like. Sound quality is very good ,as you might expect from a digital phone and the ans machine volume is quite high although I have,as yet, not found a way of adjusting the volume. Price? well be one your toes about the price, a visit to Comet was worth the trip to get the feel of the phones but ...

...saves you typing the number in all the time. Compared to a lot of house phones, they are actually quite small. Very ergonomic (how it fits into your hand). In addition, you can very easily chnage what rooms you have the phones in. Finally, I was amazed at how good the sound quality was. I could hear people perfectly and you can very easily understand what they're saying. At this time i can't think of any disadvantages deffinately a phone to ...

Review of Philips SE655

Mostly good

Advantages: Large phonebook memory
Disadvantages: Ringtones

Bought a triple handset version from Tesco for £64. When installing I simply plugged the lead out of my old phone and into the Synergy Base. It didn't work! Found on reading the online user guide that you MUST use the cable supplied with Synergy to connect to the wall socket. Doh! Then it worked. Also the plastic lip under the base (which holds the power cable in place) snapped off immediately. Other than these niggles, a good buy. Some useful ...

Review of BT Verve 410

BT VERVE 500 - SLEEK, STYLISH & FUNCTIONAL

Advantages: excellent features, looks superb & great quality
Disadvantages: small number buttons

Excellent cordless slimline digital house phone with answer machine & loud speaker. DESIGN: GOOD 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 ...
...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 ...
