Customer Rating: Summary: Very solid, clear sound and... waterproof? Comment: This is a very solid phone... It is heavier than my last cordless, but I see that as a plus. Easy and very comfortable to hold, easy to use, very precise buttons... and you CAN use it tucked between your ear and shoulder (or I can, anyway). Bought two and I am very happy... will probably buy accessory handsets in future. We have no need for the waterproof aspects, but the quality really shows, even when out of the pool. It is not as strikingly orange-looking as it seems in the photos online, but at the same time it is not a "blend in" desk accessory (a plus for our office). Customer Rating: Summary: An Industrial Strength Phone Comment: Many cordless phones on the market today feel like slippery little bars of soap. Not this one. It feels solid and indestructible. It's even covered in black rubber to make it easier to hold. The sound quality is crystal clear, and the maximum volume setting is extraordinarily loud. It doesn't have a lot of gimmicky features: there are only a few simple ringtones, for example. But it is a pleasure to use, and it will probably last until landlines go the way of the telegraph.
