Summary: Avoid this phone
Comment: Avoid this overpriced-underfeatured phone at all costs, unless the only reason you buy it is for the cool shape. To it's credit, this beautiful, expensive feeling phone looks a lot like a Bang & Olufson, and the range is fairly decent (I can get about 900 feet away from the base, walking to my mailbox). The base speakerphone is actually quite impressive, in fact the only one I have ever used without callers suspecting I am on speaker. Those are are the only good things I can say about it.
However, when it comes to the phone itself, it is the most worthless phone I have ever owned. Wireless phones from 10-12 years ago have more features than this model. The battery life is very short - on a call you have about 60 minutes from full charge until the battery is dead; on standby you have 3-5 hours and 80 percent of your charge is lost, leaving you with 10-15 minutes of talktime. VTech has replaced both the base and the extensions I bought, the new phones have the same short battery life. They let me keep the batteries from the other phones, so I have 6, but who wants to spend this much for the phone and then manually swap batteries 2x a day?
Want to share phonebooks on all of your extensions without manually re-entering them (Which your old cheap wireless would do 5 years ago)? This phone won't do it. You have to manually enter the entire phone book on each extension phone and the base - there is no sync feature.
I am not hard-of-hearing, but on most calls, I have to turn the handset speaker phone on because the volume is insufficient to hear the caller; even with the speakerphone volume on high, it is hard to hear many callers. My wife has same problem - we're only in our mid-30's, so old age not the problem. Both the 1st phones and the replacements are the same.
Oh, maybe you are interested in it for the bluetooth feature to pair this with your mobile. Don't waste your time. Won't stay paired, calls drop constantly (+75% drop). Clunky to set it up, and then it won't work consistently when you do get it set up.
Unfortunately VTech had me convinced my 1st phone was defective, so I waited for the (still defective) replacements to show up and missed my opportunity to return this piece of junk to Amazon for a refund. Please don't make the same mistake!

Summary: Nice but...
Comment: The features aren't quite as expected but still a very nice phone with excellent coverage.

Summary: Pay a little more and get the best...
Comment: I love the phone and its simple functions with contemporary design...wallpaper animations include fireworks, lightning storm, windsurfer and a couple more...real cool...
I'm a gadget guy who tends to have the latest stuff, 13 year old son says it's 'tight' so you know it's cool in his eyes...
Purchased the base unit and 1 extra handset, just ordered 3 more handsets...very high quality...as my buddy says, "Pay the Man"

Summary: Bluetooth for your cellphone is MUCH more useful than I even thought.
Comment: Wonderful phone. When I come home, my bluetooth-capable cellphone automatically rings on my VTech home units without any action on my part. Plus, talking on a VTech handset while your cellphone stays immobile means that cell phone calls from home are far more stable and free of interference. I used to have to run all over the house looking for my ringing cellphone - no longer. It now rings with a distinctive ring and I can answer it on any of my four Vtech units while my cellphone stays put charging up in the home office.

Summary: Works as Advertised. Battery life a little short
Comment: This item works as advertised. It linked up to the base unit. Battery life is a little short but basically it does everything it is supposed to do.
