How dare they:
I was so happy to find this phone here so I could review it! In a nutshell: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PHONE. As it happens I am actually on Amazon at this moment looking for a replacement for this piece of junk. Huge battery issue like so many others are clearly having. Phone is dead in ~ 4 hours. May as well have cords on them. I won't even bother talking about the phone itself because that is a tremendous deal-breaker and should have been a show-stopper long before the phones were released to manufacturing. I'm actually pretty angry that these phones even shipped with these batteries. I hope someone at VTech is reading this because, though you have succeeded in stealing my money this time, I will stay away from your products from now on and happily tell others about my experience. Thanks for the soapbox, Amazon! /rant

Short battery life!:
I bought this phone sometime in October or November of 2007 because it was cool looking & I needed a new phone. I have had issues with the battery since January. The charge doesnt last more then 4.5 hours. Dont buy this phone unless you want to deal with replacing it or the batteries within 2 months!

Pretty good phone:
My Fiance bought me this phone for Christmas. I love it. I have no problems with this phone. I like the fact that it's a speaker phone too. Big Plus there. I also like that it has a red light that flashes that lets me know that I have a message. The only thing that I don't like is that you can't use a headset with this phone. I would've given it 5 stars but because of this very important feature that's missing I had to give it 4 stars. Great phone though!!!

Liked the VTech DECT 6,.0 well enough to buy four Phones:
A nice, convenient, compact phone. Caller ID. Shows missed calls and their number. Phone works great. Very long battery life between charges. Delivered on time, and unit works as promised.

GREAT PHONE!!!!!:
I was definitely afraid of purchasing a vtech phone after the old 2.4 ghz model I bought about 5 years back. This phone has given me a whole new view of this great company, the sound clarity is incredible through my cable provider's digital phone service and the speaker is loud and clear. I love the small compact size of the handset and its great design because I can bring the phone anywhere and talk and still have two hands to work with. I find the battery life is more than adequate probably because I am used to making calls on my cell phone. There is a very simple solution to keep the battery charged...put the phone on the charger when you aren't using it! I know this may sound crazy but it actually works! I have no use for an additional handset in another room because I live in a 2 bedroom appartement with my girlfriend, but if you are looking for a phone with multi phone capability, why would you buy this one in the first place. Overall a great product at a really good price! 10 out of 10! I may live in beans town but don't let that fool you..tricolore jusq'au bout! GO HABS GO!!!
