bad decision.......2007-01-06
Battery wouldn't charge.......2007-01-04
After receiving it, plugging it in, and charging it over night, I made a phone call on the very dim-lit LCD screen phone. It already had low battery and within 30 seconds or so an extremely loud beeping that both I and the other person could hear would come on signifying a low battery. Strange, as I had just charged it for a night. After repeated recharging attemps, I made no progress with charging the battery. The only remote reason I could see for this happening is that when I first charged it, I stuck it in cradle and it jiggled out a little bit, which may have meant to the phone that I had stopped it's initial charging cycle already and that was the maximum the phone would ever charge in the future. I'm not quite sure.
Needless to say, I returned the phone for a full refund through Amazon because I couldn't get in touch with the manufacturer (they had already gone out of business).
The reason I give this phone a 2 because it did not function properly for me. It looks like a game of chance to get a working phone. I decided after all that I didn't actually need a phone for my dorm room, so I have no further recommendations but I hope this review helps in your decision.

Don't let the good looks fool you--Avoid this phone.......2006-05-23
The handset for the first one of these I received did not work at all. I took it out of the package, plugged the battery into the handset, took out the base unit (which includes the answering machine) and plugged that in, and set the handset into the cradle to charge. The base seemed to work fine. The handset, however, didn't do a thing. No beeping (it's supposed to beep to show that it's charging), it didn't light up, it just kind of sat there like a brick. OK, I thought, maybe it just needs the recommended 12 hours of charging before it does anything. So I waited overnight and gave it a try the next day, and still, it didn't do a thing. At this point, I had something that could maybe be used as a weapon (i.e. thrown at someone breaking into my place), but not so much as a phone.
I contacted the customer service department of the place I ordered this phone from, and they sent me a replacement, which showed up in record time, 2 days after I reported the problem. I went through the set-up again (installed the battery, etc.) and this time when I dropped the handset into the charger, I heard a little "beep". I let it charge, and when I picked it up, I even heard a dial tone. Success!!!! OK, I can't see the information on the little LCD screen, but at least this one works, right?
Well, OK, it works, but sporadically. By that I mean I can drop the phone into the charger and hear the "beep" to say it's charging (and see that the indicator light on the base unit says that it's charging), but when I try to use it, I can just about get through dialing, letting the phone ring, and having the other person pick the phone up before the phone starts frantically beeping at me to tell me there's a "Low Battery".
At this point, I've given up on this phone. The answering machine part of the phone works fine, and the whole setup looks pretty cool, but if you want something that you can use to actually, you know, make calls, you'd probably be better off looking somewhere else.
A GOOD BUY FOR THE MONEY.......2005-09-30
