A good, solid, entry cordless phone

Advantages: Portable, no leads, looks smart, transfer calls from handset to handset easily
Disadvantages: Muffled sound at times

...Welcome to my review on what has been a very useful new purchase in our house. Around two months ago, we found it necessary to buy a cordless phone because of there being several people in our house, and escaping noise and being in one place all the time are difficult things to achieve. We felt it was not an extremely important thing because our main phone was still in great working order, so we spent moderetely small amounts on this new phone. ---- The Item ----- Included in the set are two chargers for the two handsets as well as help instructions and the wiring needed. Therefore, everything you need is supplied. From past experience, Cable and Wirelss have been considered a good brand so buying a phone from them was not a big deal. The two handsets are currently employed in an upstairs bedroom and next to our PC so you never...

Review of Cable & Wireless D2800 / Dect Phone

Cordless Straighteners....WOW

Advantages: no cable to wrap around yourself whilst you straighten you hair
Disadvantages: none

...I never really used hair straigheners in the past, but after using my mates and being prone to frizzy hair, I have been converted and they are a absolute must for me. I stumbled across the Morphy and Richards cordless hair straigheners whilst browsing through my Argos catologue. As soon as I saw them, I wanted them, they were the first type of cordless straigheners I had seen and the thought of not having to worry about a cable really appealed to me. The reason why they appealed to me is because there is no plug socket near my rather tiny mirror in the bedroom, having cordless straigheners means that I can style my hair in the bathroom, in front of my rather large mirror. Not having a cable getting in the way also means that I can concentrate more on not burning myself. At the time of purchasing these straighteners, they cost £59...

Review of Morphy Richards 22070 Cordless

Stylish cordless phone

Advantages: Stylish cordless phone with lots of features
Disadvantages: Doesn't store numbers across the handsets

...A great and stylish cordless phone and answering machine which has lots of features and has the advantage from my point of view of having a built in belt clip making it very easy to carry around during the day. It was easy to set up although I did find it a little irritating to have to set up my favourite numbers in each handset although I suppose for family members who may each have their own phone in the set it might be a very convenient feature and it certainly extends the total number of numbers stored by the kit. The anserwing machine comes complete with pre-recorded messages so if you don't like talking to a machine you don't need to. There is even a button to enable you to access BT's calling features to get directory enquires, call divert and call waiting without having to search for the right number. It is easy to see...

SIX INCHES OF HANDHELD RELIABILITY

Advantages: A simple, reliable no-frills cordless phone
Disadvantages: Some may find the number keypad a little small

...Once upon a time, I was the proud owner of a very nice little cordless phone which served me well over the years. Unfortunately, as happens with so many pieces of modern technology nowadays, the dreaded day arrived when my reliable little link to the outside world died. The sound mechanism seemed to have disappeared altogether, which meant that I was not able to hear the phone ringing, nor was I able to hear anyone speaking on the other end. I had an important decision to make: should I try and get the phone repaired, or treat myself to a nice sparkly new one. Hey, I'm female - is there any doubt that I would pass up an opportunity to go shopping? Hmm. In order to avoid any potentially pushy sales assistants who seem to hide behind the shelves and jump out at you with a sickly smile, £££ signs flashing across their eyelids...

Review of iDECT M! Cordless Telephone

  Philips cordless answer phone for the home.

Advantages: Neat and easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...a 3 way conference call and call screening. So to summarise, it is easy to set up, the menus are very straightforward and easy to navigate. It looks neat and modern in the hall. Some may feel the recording time is rather short so you may need to delete old messages frequently depending on how long your friends natter for. The handset is comfortable to hold and it works fine when away from the base unit, even outside in the garden, without any breaking up. The keys are a reasonable size which makes them easy and comfortable to use and the menus are straightforward to navigate. The instruction booklet is clear and easy to understand. Being cordless means teenagers take it off to their room and there is a severe risk of a high phone bill. This is of course not particular to this phone but to any cordless phone. Yes, I am very...

Review of Philips CD2351S

A Skype Phone and normal cordless all in one

Advantages: practical, dual phone, easy to install and use
Disadvantages: heats up your ear, need to keep far from audio speakers

...USB Cordless DualPhone for Skype The USB Cordless DualPhone is a cordless telephone that can be connected to a normal telephone socket and a USB port on a PC to be used both as a Skype phone and a normal cordless phone. I have found this particular phone very useful so I thought it was about time to write a review about it. First of all, WHAT IS SKYPE? Skype is a free program that, once installed on your computer, allows you to phone people all over the world as long as they have Skype installed too and a microphone. Nowadays you can even phone landline numbers for very cheap fares and I have found very useful to have an actual cordless telephone to plug in my PC for this purpose. I have always hated using microphone and headphones because they require the proximity to the computer (at least the mic does). This cordless phone was...

Review of Olympia Dualphone RTX 3045

A simple and elegant cordless phone

Advantages: Nice size, clear display, good signal and range
Disadvantages: You may have to pay for caller display

...This is a review of the single cordless phone - BT Freestyle 3200. You can buy this as a twin pack, trio or quad but I only needed the single phone to replace my old BT Synergy cordless phone. The phone Setup is thankfully painless and the manual simple & clear. You simply take the phone out of the box; pull the tag to activate the batteries (which are already installed in the handset) and place on the cradle to fully charge. Like most rechargeable phones, it is recommended that you charge for a full 16 hours before using and not initially connect to the phone line to avoid using it. After about 6 hours the display on the phone says fully charged but I did as I was told, and waited till the next morning before using the handset. The phone colour is described as warm silver and is pleasant to look at. It is a nice size...

Logitech Cordless Desktop S510

Advantages: Slim and sexy, extra buttons
Disadvantages: Mouse a bit plasticky

...My somewhat ancient Microsoft Internet keyboard and mouse are starting to get a bit long in the tooth. The mouse's ball has gone a bit strange and the keyboard is looking rather grubby and being wired rather than wireless, sometimes gets caught up as I move it about. It was upgrade time. The replacement of choice turned out to be the Logitech Cordless Desktop 510. The Logitech Cordless Desktop S510 consists of three items, the keyboard, mouse and wireless transmitter plus of course the driver CD. OK, four items. The Logitech Cordless S510 keyboard's main selling point is its slim profile - around 1cm and this is why I bought it - it looks really, really sexy. Perhaps I should get my head checked out if I've started to find computer keyboards sexy but you know what I mean... Anyway, despite this super-thin profile, it still...

Review of Logitech Cordless Desktop S 510 - keyboard , mouse

Digital cordless telephone

Advantages: digtal, cordless, many functions
Disadvantages: expensive phone

...The diverse 3016 classic is a digital cordless telephone and answering machine. The phone is black and stands in the base/answering machine. With it been a cordless phone you do not have to stand in one place to chat and can move around whilst chatting. With it been digital, your phone calls are very clear and you do not get any crackling noises like you do with some telephones. On the base/answering machine are all the function buttons for the answering machine. These buttons are:- Skip Back Skip Forward Play Delete Stop Record Page Volume Up Volume Down Active Signal With the telephone you get one handset, but you can have up to 6 altogether. We just have the one though as we have another telephone upstairs. When you first get this telephone, you have to charge it up for 16 hours. You get up to 7 hours talk time...

Review of BT Diverse 3016

Cool blue display - cordless home phone

Advantages: Design, looks, feel, functions, display screen
Disadvantages: Ringtones, No answerphone

...Well, I was looking at my poor old ( about 3 years ) BT cordless phones that I had at home, and to be honest they had seen better days. Before I had learnt to control my temper, the phones were usually bounced around several walls or doors in the house..... Yep I know..... thats naughty. My previous phones had served me well, and I had really abused them to be honest. I had a pair, one for the living room, and one in the bedroom. Both had been launced at various times :-) I was walking around Tesco, getting a few bits and pieces for Sunday dinner, and happened to start browsing at the electrical items they had ( being a gadget freak, I always wonder while shopping :-) ) I found the I-Dect X1 ( twin pack ) which I took a real like to straight away. For me initially it was the design of the handset, its very slim and sleek...
