...so the iTouch is perfect for one-the-go types like us! Still learning all it's ins-and-outs, but so far it exceeds expectations.

This is a nice alternative to putting your phone in your pocket. I don't like to take my purse everywhere. This is great to use when you just want to carry your phone. I am leery of putting it in my back pocket for various reasons. It is not the highest quality, but the price is low. Recommend

Yeah, this sounds weird, but we're a really religious family and refuse to have cellphones with internet on them.  So I'm hoping that the industry reads this and continues to produce phones without mobile web access, maybe even makes them available at Dollar General or whereever they used to be.

There's got to be a sizable population aside from us who would just prefer a phone without the internet.

Where I'm from, we're near the inner city, and I also notice that this is the phone that the government (USA) gives people for free.  So when my phone goes off and people hear the ringer (I have it on vibrate now) people probably think I'm on welfare or something.  Which is okay with me, I believe the current world is fleeting and that love and kindness is more important than bank balances.

There's other reasons to buy one of these, though.  I'm also a scholar and find the internet a waste of time, sometimes, especially if you have it at home and a cellphone or whereever.  Also, you drop some $500 smartphone, you need insurance on it to replace it.  And you're even more likely to die in a car accident if you have one.  Texting on an S125G is a dangerous enough temptation as it is, walking or driving.

When I want to get online and do something, I can do so without having it on my phone.  And I also suspect that the trend is going to fade and that more people are going to want internet-free cellphones in the future, if we all don't go back to landline. (Technological trends are not a one-way street.)

We've had plenty of S125G's (I think this is the one) and they're great phones.

No home phone anymore.  Cheap cell phone plan with a Magic Jack.

These phones are TINY.  Anyone lugging around a "smart" phone will have no problem keeping this to their ear.

Unlike other reviews here, my experience is that the loudest setting is just about perfect for me.  I have mild hearing issues and it's still not a problem for me.  Wouldn't hear it above booming bass speakers, but it's a home phone.  Why are you letting somebody trash your place?

Perfect for the home.

This Package + Magic Jack = Cancel your home phone, and reduce your cell to a backup phone.

Phones are very clear but could be a little louder. Very nice not having to keep a cell phone close, once the Bluetooth connection is made I now have six phones, including the cell phone I can answer a call on.

Excellent non-smartphone for the extra mobile lines. Dual SIM, speakerphone, camera with flash. Good quality and elegant design. Basic but functional.

It's okay... Just don't like that you need to remove the phone just to talk on it.

Let me start by saying I don't need a phone with a ton of bells and whistles, but I do need to be able to hear when it rings and hear the person I am talking to.  This phone meets, maybe even  exceeds, my hopes.  For the benefit of anyone with the same problem, go into "Profiles" where you are asked to choose between "normal", "meeting", "vibrate" and "outdoor".  Since these seemed to indicate how you might be notified, in other words, a louder ring tone if outdoors than in a meeting, I selected "outdoor".  When asked to indicate volume, showing 3 or 4 colored buttons, I activated them all.  I then went to tones and decided on "desk phone" instead of music and "ascending".  I then called my cell phone from another phone and was overjoyed to find that I could hear the cell phone's ring more clearly than my home phone.  This is the best phone I have ever had in that respect. Subsequently I tested the music tones but they were not loud enough for me.

With respect to volume of the  voice of the caller, there is a button on the case that controls that.  But you can be sure that you  can increase the volume at least as much as with any other phone, and probably more than most.  I called a friend to test the phone and was told I could be heard loud and clear.

Other pluses, at least for me, are the large keys and the large numbers that appear on the screen when you are dialing a call.  Additionally, there is a setting where you can use large letters in the address book and elsewhere.

Being one myself, I think this phone is a very good choice for senior citizens.

For those who want them, there are camera and video, but you must provide your own SD card.  You also have a media player, music player, recorder, internet capability, and Bluetooth.  I note from the comments of others that they are not up to snuff compared to some of the higher-tech phones that are available, but they are fine for me since mostly I use a phone to make calls.  Being able to easily hear the ring tone and the person I am speaking with is reason enough for me to give the phone 5 stars.

The so called "Cellular User Manual" that  came with the phone is terrible.  Just a couple of pages of text, no illustrations, and of little value.  It took me far too long to put in the SIM card, for example, because the directions were not clear.  I kept doing what I thought it said to do, but that was not correct.  I then went on line with my computer and found a complete  user guide, including illustrations, and highly recommend that anyone who buys the phone do the same if the "manual" that comes with the phone is a murky to you as it was to me.  You will save a lot of time and frustration.  I tried to include the link to a pdf user manual but Amazon apparently does not permit this since it was left out of the published review.  I am now editing the review to recommend a Google search for a Nokia 6085 User Guide.

The phone is good looking and has a solid feel.  I've had Nokias at different times in the past and know they give good service.

Like it, easy to setup, doesn't include a memory card.

Since I rarely make calls from my home phone, I got rid of my land line and my Panasonic 2.4Ghz expandable phone system (total 5 handsets). To simplify my life even further, I am using my Cell phone as my home phone. With all the free weekend and nights minutes, I really don't need any land line phone.

However, there are times when someone calls me and my cell phone is not around me, say upstair in the bedroom, and I am downstair. This is the time where I missed the cordless handsets the most, because I used to have them in every room.

I read about this Uniden phone back in January, and found it is probably what I need, so I pre-order it last month. It was finally available last Thursday and I received it today with an extra handset just to try it out.

I am not disappointed! This is a very well designed phone system. The menu is intuitive and easy to use, plus all the lights are my favorite blue :-). The handset is just like a clamshell motorola cellphone, even the icons in the menu. Probably a 256-color LCD, but it is a first for a cordless phone! Wallpaper and ringtone and even individual phonebook entry are configurable. You can even customize the handset from your PC using the included software and USB cable. It even has some PDA feature like calendar and appointment reminder in the handset. If I don't tell you, you might think I am talking about a new cellphone from Uniden.

Besides the very functional handset, and of course, you can plug a regular phone wire and use it as a regular expandable phone system with ansering machine. But the feature that attracted me buying this phone system is the bluetooth connection. I was wondering why no one has thought about this when bluetooth made popular a couple of years ago. I paired my Sony Ericsson S710i to the base unit, just like one will do with the cellphone to the headset, it found the device and paired it with no problem. I set the base unit to connect to S710i automatically, and viola! Just so happen my friend called me on my cellphone, all 2 handsets were ringing (so did the S710i). I pressed the "mobile" button, and pressed "Enter" to confirmed using S710i, and I was answering using the Uniden's headset. It even display caller ID on all the LCDs! Basically, my S710i is now my phone jack, and the whole Uniden system is plugged into it "wirelessly". Cordless + Wireless, what a wonderful solution!

Bluetooth cell phone is getting very popular recently, even the stubborn Samsung is making new phone with bluetooth capability. If you have a land line and a bluetooth-enabled cellphone, you could now switch between the regular phone line and your free cellphone minutes at will. Talking about the convenience of answering both using just one handset(and you can tell which one is ringing by the different ringtone you assigned them)!

The only thing on my wishlist for this phone is to be able to transfer phonebook from my cell phone to it via bluetooth. Since most bluetooth devices have this function, I can see a firmware update coming for this already great phone.

May be it is too early to review the quality and reliability of this phone system; may be I will add to my review later. For now, I like it... A LOT!

For home-business reasons we still have landlines in our home - one for the business and the other our home phone (which also functions as the business fax).  And while we frequently ignore the home phone when it rings - apparently the 'do-not-call list' doesn't scare them anymore - we got this because the old handset had stopped working.  And it's a nice phone - easy to set up (after you charge it for 12 hours) and it looks good, plus the ability to pair with 2 cell phones seemed a nice option.  The sound quality is decent although the cell phone range doesn't go very far - didn't work in the back yard.  In the end we opted to disconnect the cell phone pairing because it just meant we never missed a telemarketer (even though they all insist it's not a "sales call"), but this is a nice phone for those of us who still have landlines.

Really enjoy not needing to hold my phone while it is giving me directions somewhere. Easy to take on trip where one is using a rental car as it just slides in place not needing to be attached permanently.

Smaller than an IPad, don't need to worry about phone calls, can do almost anything that a net book can do.
Only thing is it does not come with a charger, you'll have to plug in a computer with USB to charge the device. Thumbs down for that.
Otherwise, thumbs up!

Solid, simple alarm clock.  Nothing too fancy, just date/time/temperature and an alarm function.  Perfect for when you don't want to use your phone as an alarm.

I like these phones because they are small and easy to use. I don't want internet or photo capabilities and this phone gets better coverage than some of the more expensive ones.

This phone is a good combination of both the "corded" and the "cordless" worlds of phones.  The corded "home station" of this phone will work even if the power is off, which is something many people overlook when buying a phone.  The adjunct handset can be put anywhere there's an a/c outlet, and doesn't require a phone jack.
I have telephone company voice messaging, so the Message Waiting light is a real plus.  The speakerphone has good sound quality.  My only complaint is that the home station doesn't have any autodial keys for frequently called numbers.  All stored numbers are in the main directory.  Also, interestingly, there is no place on either station to record your own phone number.
However, my likes outweigh my dislikes on this phone, and I definitely recommend it.
