5 out of 5 stars It is a Unique phone....I love it.......2004-05-20

I love this phone...leaves my hands completely free and with no wires dangling around my shoulder. While some other reviewers had complained about static....I have not noticed any static at all on my phone. For some it may be a little pricey, but I have not found a similar phone anywhere else for any price....I am not sure why there are not more phones of this kind.

1 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY BEFORE READING REVIEWS.......2003-11-11

Looks like the majority of people have had a similar experience (aside from a couple lucky folks). GREAT idea! But...

First one had such low volume that I couldn't use it.

I exchanged it but had an impossible time installing the battery in that one.

The 3rd one worked well... for awhile. Then it started dying after just a couple minutes. The company sent me a new battery and it worked like a charm... for awhile.

By the time it was a few months old, with a new battery, the static creeped in (just like most other reviewers mentioned).

Initially, if I turned the headset slightly it went away. Soon I found the only thing that would help was holding the earpiece hard against my head (uncomfortable and kinda defeats the purpose). Now, nothing I do helps and I'm reduced to using the speakerphone only.

When it worked, it was fantastic.

WHEN it worked.

Judging from the reviews, looks like you have about a 1 out of 10 chance of ending up with a decent phone. That may just mean those with a good experience haven't had the phone long enough for problems to start.

1 out of 5 stars This phone is horrible!.......2003-09-28

after spending more than 100 bucks, you expect at least decent customer service. The seller provided little customer service except to leave the phone on charging when the low battery warning comes. GREAT!!!! I DIDNT KNOW THAT!

The earlier model which is 900mhz is a great buy. It has the same features, can be used with a computer and has an extended battery life. I got mine from amazon, but they are hard to find.

2 out of 5 stars I have 3 - they are ALL BAD!!.......2003-09-04

I have 3 different versions of this IBM headset phone - various models. Each time I thought they would improve. They didn't! Please head my advice - don't waste your $$! It's a great idea, and nothing out there like it, but these phones don't hold a charge after a month or so, the noise interference is awful, and they randomly have static on the lines for no apparent reason. I wish they would work for my home business - but they simply don't work well. Just don't do it!!

2 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor implementation.......2003-07-04

I had the previous version, and returned it. Everyone's comments here seem to indicate the same issues exist, fundamentally poor audio quality.

I got the Vtech totally coordless phone after returning the IBM, and it was better but still low quality. It was much more comfortable and audio was tolerable. unique design that does not touch ears is great, very comfortable for extended use. But we wore it out, now looking for something else. Once you have had a phone of this type, you are ruined for life, and never want to go back to anything else. Sigh.
