I am satisfied with the phone thus far. I really like the freedom it provides and it works flawlessly with my Blackberry.One concern I have is how often to charge this. Is there any down side to keeping it in the charger when not is use. Or should I let the battery run down and then charge.
Plantronics Calisto Pro Series DECT 6.0 Cordless Landline/VoIP Phone with Bluetooth Headset This is an excellent product, I bought it because other products interfered with my wireless Internet. Battery life is about 6hrs. It's definitely worth the money.
I have used this phone for over two months now. Better software should have been included for this price.The buttons, while of good quality, are VERY SMALL. I use this in my home office. Frankly, for the price, I was expecting more; the syncing with Outlook is limited, and accessing the number in the phone books is time consuming,as you can only start with the first letter, it won't allow you to type in the first couple of letters, getting you directly to who you are looking for. So if you do a lot of dialing, I would not recommend this phone. Again, I guess no one did any customer research at Plantronics.On the plus side, the range for the phone is great, and the sound quality & comfort of the earpiece is good.
This phone solves all of my problems. I like to type or clean or walk around while I'm on the phone. I'm hands free, and no one complains about echoes or volume.One other feature of this phone that has also proven to be a great asset is that fact that I can integrate with Skype. I could never seem to get coverage over my entire house. This software was simple to setup, and it works great. I have my office upstairs, and a lab in the basement and I could never seem to walk back and forth between the two. The biggest issue I had with all other cordless phones was range. Most speaker phones at this price point have horrible echoes, and most head sets don't work all that well - I was always getting tangled in wires.So now I can walk around the house and answer my cell phone and office phone with one headset.
This phone works well over every square inch of my house and even out a ways into the yard. My second problem was talking "hands free". I use Skype to call internationally and now I don't have to sit in front of the computer anymore. I've had this phone for about 3 months now, and for the price I don't think you can get a better more flexible SoHo solution.
Can't say enough about this phone, can talk and work from a good distant away from base.
