Summary: Ok if you don't want to use blue tooth opption
Comment: I have had this phone for 3 months now. Bought it because of the blue tooth feature that allows you to answer and make calls from this unit on your cell phone line. The feature when it is working is kind of cool. The problem is the base wont retain the info and has to continually be reset or you have to remove the cell from the phone and reinstall. I have contacted AT&T regarding this problem and they keep telling me to reset the phone when this occurs. Problem is this happens about every other day. AT&T was of no help. Other than the blue tooth problem the phone so far works fine.

Summary: battery life
Comment: I really like the system however I find I can't get more than a 2 or 3 hours talk time on the battery before it needs to go back onto the charger. I was talking to a friend the other night having been using the phone several times during the day and was surprised to find the indicator of a low battery. I probably only had used the phone for talking about 2 1/2 hrs. I talked to customer service and was told the charging system for the phone wasn't working correctly and I should send it in. This was within a couple days after receiving this system. I did not want to send it back! I then bought a phone to expand, a stand alone with just a charger. I have the same problem with that one. The batteries just don't hold a charge as long as my previous phone, a Uniden.

Summary: iPhone issues
Comment: We had been using the phone with my Razrs and it worked well. It Almost seemed to improve recption. When we switched to the iPhone, it no longer worked well. It will connect intermittently with the base station. It will be paired successfully but won't connect. I have to unpair both iPhones and re-pair the with the base station for them to connect. I have to do this every time I come home, which is not feasable. Maybe missing something, maybe there is something different about the iPhones than there was with the Razrs.

Summary: I was nervous. I am pleased.
Comment: The complaints about this product made me nervous about ordering it, but the competing products were either much more expensive, or received even worse reviews, so I decided to try it.
The phone works. The extra handset I ordered was no trouble to connect, and it was easy to rename the handsets to help see where they are located. The phone may not be fully duplex, but I've found that I can still hear when talk is going on at my end.
The BlueTooth feature was one that I really wanted, and it was initially frustrating. I have found that I need to manually disconnect the audio device if I want to be able to pick it up again later. If I just allow my cell phone to go out of range I need to reset the phone (turn it off, then on) in order to use it properly again. In my mind, this is a minor inconvenience. I can make and receive calls on both cell and land-line, and although I haven't tried it, the setup suggests that both can be employed simultaneously (with different handsets). My cell is a Motorola Razr V3xx, so your mileage may vary.
I haven't read the manual, as all of the setup I've done has been straightforward. The answering machine works well, and it's nice to be able to get and delete messages from the handset. Getting messages by dialing in also works well. The speakerphone feature of the handset also works surprisingly well, given the size of the thing. We don't subscribe to caller ID, but it does get the caller ID from cell calls.
All in all, not a perfect product, but a good one, and one I don't regret buying.
