Summary: Uncessarily bad - look for a different option
Comment: This phone is just plain bad.
The keys are impossibly hard to press, and there is no reason for that.
Thought it would improve with time, but alas, it does not.
The sound quality is bad. There is usually an interference hiss, even if I am in the room next to the base.
It is designed in such a way that it is difficult to put on the base to charge (it slips out) and then falls of the table.
Finally, the phone is clunky -- the pictures are taken at an angle to make it look like it is thin, but it is big and clunky.
I recommend you look at a different phone, no positives would outweigh the above negatives

Summary: Cute, but disfunctional
Comment: Those who designed this phone should have been forced to live with it for a while. And try other brands, too. THis phone was obviously designed by marketroids. It has so many annoying things in it.
What others mentioned:
1. Picking a waiting call is awkward.
2. Picking a second handset to join a call in progress doesn't always work. Hell, even simply picking a call didn't always work.
3. Annoying missed calls indicator. If any handset picked a call, that should NOT be considered a missed call!
4. It gives a chime every time you put it on a cradle. Why does it have to celebrate such an ordinary event?
5. Every 30 frigging minutes its inidicator lights up. Makes folks to wake up.
6. Sound volume is too low. I'm kind of OK with that, but what about folks whose hearing is not that good?
7. The handset won't stand up if put on a table.
Unfortunately, I already discarded the packing boxes. Too bad.

Summary: DISAPPOINTED
Comment: I PURCHASED THIS PHONE APPROX. 8 MONTHS AGO. I READ THE REVIEWS AND DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE PHONE ANYWAY DESPITE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS. THE HEADSET VOLUME IS LOW, BUTTONS STICK OR HARD TO PRESS AT TIMES, BATTERY TIME IS LIMITED (DOESN'T HOLD CHARGE). IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. DON'T PURCHASED THIS PHONE ON EXTERIOR APPERANCE. NICE LOOKING PHONE BUT POOR FEATURES/FUNCTION.

Summary: Lasted all of 13 months...
Comment: I purchased this phone set and one additional handset in September of 2007. This week the base unit "died". No power at all. I have tried swapping the power supply, but it is the unit itself. I contact Philips and found, not surprisingly, that the warranty is 1 year and there is nothing they "can" do.
I spent over $200.00 all tolled and get a year of use. Not good.
Other things that are not good about the phones:
Battery Life is lousy. I have changed batteries and they still don't hold a charge for long.
Flashing red light. Every call you recieve produces an entry in the call log and triggers a little red light on the handset to flash. You must review each call in order to turn-off the light. Okay, I can deal with that. But you have to do it on each individual handset. They do not communicate with each other. You can transfer phonebook entries between the handsets, but you cannot let the other handsets know you already reviewed the call list on another one. Very annoying.
I guess that is about it. I liked the design. The sound was good. Just a waste of money for the base unit to break after a year.

Summary: stylish and good handling but not great sound
Comment: I like the phone, it is cool, easy to use and has good handling overall. My only complaint is with sound, the voice in the earphone is not totally clear has a certain hiss. This might be due to my connection, though I don't recall having this problem before.
