Advantages: Upto date technology
Disadvantages: Having to charge the batteries before use

...We've had an answerphone at home for most of the last twenty years and so when our BT Response 123 plus stopped deleting messages I thought it was time to replace it. Off I went to Tesco where I found amongst the array of phones on offer a BT Synergy 4500 and at £59.99 it looked to be a decent deal. Most of the other phones appeared to come in 2's or 3's and I immediately thought "too confusing for me". The Synergy though, was a piece of cake to install - plug into the wall and plug in the connector and the phone was working. The only problem was that the instructions said "charge the battery for 24 hours before using" and so I had to disconnect the line whilst the battery charged. It is almost a mobile phone connected to the land line with an external range of 300m and an internal range of 100m - I could use it from my neighbours... Read review

Advantages: SUFFICIENT FEATURES, LARGE MEMORIES AND LONG TALK TIME.
Disadvantages: DOES NOT CHARGE LIKE THE ORDINARY MOBILE PHONES AND DOES NOT HAVE ALL THE FEATURES LIKE THE MOBILE PHONES.

...BT synergy 4500 is a nice cordless phone with a lot of features. Actually I think that the laws of diminishing returns has caught up with me with the ordinary mobile phones so I have to this time give another phone brand a try so on doing so I bought this. it also has a great feature that is an answering machine without display of calling numbers and also the presence of loud speakers. The cordless phone has served quite long for about a month although I decided to learn the features before putting it down in the review. Well what will I say about the phone much apart from the techies in it. Unlike the ordinary mobile phones that seem lighter the BT synergy has a more heavy weight and I think that the battery contributed to the weight of the phone. The charger is a large plastic that has a big hole where... Read review

Advantages: Lots of features, good range, battery life, text capacity
Disadvantages: not keen on tones

...The BT Synergy 4500 is just one more in a long line of BT produced phones, coming in a single, duo, trio and quad packages it is designed for homes and businesses alike. The phone is cordless with a separate docking unit for each handset, each handset is a good size fitting comfortably in the hand but not so small, like mobiles etc, that it is difficult to use properly. The sleek and stylish black handset features large easy to press buttons, they are well spaced and clear to read making the phone nice and easy to use, many phones I've used in the past have had their buttons too close or too small making it easy to dial wrongly or cut off a call when you're meant to be answering it. The phone also has an LCD display screen which shows such things as the incoming callers number and address book entries, it is backlit which is great... Read review

Advantages: high volume level, ease of menues
Disadvantages: no hold music

...the synergy 2120 has an ample range of features, the only one which it lacks is hold music! the sound quality on the Synergy is also great. You will not hear any distortion untill you wander down the street which you are unlikly to do. The volume meter on the Synergy goes up to quite a high level. A basic facility which believe it or not some DECT phones are without!! The phone also has a built in phonebook so that any numbers that you cant remember or just for quick access to your favorite numbers can be found by presing a button. The phone cost me 69.99 from Currys and i think it was definatly worth the money.... Read review

Advantages: leaves skin feeling fresh
Disadvantages: none

...Three steps to the daily cleansing routine for all of us whom are beauty conscious. Step 1: cleanse Step 2: tone Step 3: moisturise Keeping this in mind I ventured out to purchase a toner and cleanser. Boy it sure is a hard venture. It takes me at least an hour to decide which product is best for me, which one will do what I need. Which product would actually do what it claims on the bottle. I came across Laboratories Garnier Synergie range, and their toner. This toner is labelled with a big ‘fresh’ sign on it. The Synergie range has at least 3 different types of toners. The one I choose had’ CLEAN FEELING TONING WATER WITH PURE FRUIT WATERS’ written on the front of the bottle. That is what attracted me to this product. All the new range of any health and beauty products now offer some sort of natural... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, allows you to site and use the phone anywhere in the house. Good reception.
Disadvantages: I've not found any yet

...I bought this phone to replace an old anologue system, anyone that has had, or owns one of these will be aware of the problems with poor reception. I wanted to replace it and decided to go for a DECT phone, but which one?. A friend at work had just bought a BT synergy and said how good it was. I started the search and found the Synergy 500 Twin advertised at less than £80. I bought it. The phones do what they say. You can walk round the house whilst the reception remains crystal clear, it also works outside, my old analogue claimed it would but it was a joke. The BT Synergy 500 comprises a home base unit which is small and stylish, the second phone sits nicely in a small charging cradle and does not require to be plugged into a phone socket. This is therefore a usefull phone for freeing up a phone sockets for the computer or for putting... Read review

Advantages: great toner leaving your skin feeling clean and refreshed
Disadvantages: none that I have found

...Synergie pure's pore purifying astringent is a really good toner which is very gentle on your skin - it does not sting or irritate your skin like other more harsh toners do. It really cleanses and tones your face very well leaving you with skin that feels clean and refreshed. It does not give you that tight feeling that other harsher toners can do.It lasts for ever as you only need a little bit to clean and tone your face It's readily available in Sainsbury's and Boots. Its not that pricey so it really is a good value for money - try it and see.... Read review

Advantages: Slim, light, modern design,
Disadvantages: Only 3 ringer melodies; No answerphone function; no speaker

...I picked up an ex display silver 2110 off of Ebay. There are currently dozens of these phones (and others of the synergy 2000 range) and some of them are sold as brand new boxed. The condition of my phone is excellent. I think the silver one looks best, I have seen the grey (more like black) one and that is not as stylish. I am a big fan of DECT phones particularly because provided you have one base station you can link another DECT phone to it as a slave. The slave is not required to be linked to a phone socket, because it works off of the base phone. In theory you can link any DECT phone with another DECT phone, but I have had trouble linking this synergy 2110 to my Binatone Eurotel 3100. But I am still trying!! The beauty of linking 2 DECT phones is that you can use them as intercoms, and you can transfer an incoming call on one... Read review

Advantages: Only a small amount of this inexpensive gel-creme is required to leave your skin feeling moisturised and refreshed.
Disadvantages: There are no disadvantages to this product.

...Laboratories Garnier Synergie Fresh labels itself as a “Quenching Moisturiser” and in my opinion, it does just that. It comes in two varieties – one for normal skin and one for dry or sensitive skin. I purchased the dry or sensitive skin version – a 75ml tube costs around £4.50 and is available from most supermarkets and chemists and carries the packaging of a more expensive brand. All Synergie products are hypoallergenic tested and contain active natural ingredients. Synergie Fresh Quenching Moisturiser is a gel-crème, which is apricot in colour and has a very delicate perfume with the aroma of fruit. However, I can’t put my finger onto which fruit this could be, but the packaging does state that it contains the purest form of fruit waters, which are obtained from apples and grapes. It also contains... Read review

Advantages: Cordless with wide indoor and outdoor range
Disadvantages: Need to shop around for a good price

...The synergy 4500 twin from BT is one of the most innovative home phones around, combining up-to-date functions with a sleek and fashionable outer design. This slim black handset houses some pretty useful features including a sim card reader, 255 name phone book and dialled calls memory as well as other features you may expect such as an answering machine and caller display. The fact that this phone is cordless is also a big advantage, especially for people like me who prefer to wander around as they chat. We have owned this phone for around 6 months now and considering that we only purchased it as it was the cheapest handset in the store, it has been very reliable and hasn't let us down. Product features When shopping around for a new phone, I was particularly impressed with this model due to the range of easy-to-use features included... Read review
