Doro 5065R

cheap ; works well ; clear and crisp ; codless phones have great range

nil

Did have good standby and talk time to start with, until the rechargable batteries died. Call clarity was okay compared to that of analogue phones

Menu system could be so much better, any small change needed the instruction manual. Really cryptic. Horrible when finally failed, new batteries did not solve the problem. Unexplained dropouts, callers cut off on answerphone

Lightweight, intercom/baby monitor feature

Standby/talktime is nothing like the claimed times

NONE

The sound is reasonably good.

Highly cryptic user interface that is not fully explained in the manual.

The phone is small and not too heavy to hold for a long chat. The battery lasts pretty long. The phone is very durable - been using them for almost 5 years, and still giong strong.

The buttons are not very inuitive and user friendly, I still don't fully understand half the functions. Both speaker and normal receiver's volume have only 4 settings. I find that even the loudest setting isn't loud enough for me even when there is not...

Clear reception. Neat look to the phones....initially at least.

Buttons do not register after about 1 year...on one handset...pressing some buttons gives no result. Needs to have backlit display. Memories awkward in that handsets do not share one memory.The finish becomes rather sticky and wears. Message alert...
