I am by NO means a fan of Ryan Reynolds. That said, I must say that he is tremendous in BURIED! This 90 min. one-man-show seems effortless for him. Trapped in a wooden coffin, several feet underground, his character runs the gamut of emotions, from calm to anger, to frantic terror. Reynolds is flawless in his role as the bewildered, increasingly panicked captive. BURIED covers everything, including: imbecilic bureaucracy / politics, hideous terrorism, and mindless corporate greed. While horrible and tragic, it also has sublime moments of black comedy (i.e. when talking to any government officials or company drones on the cellphone). BURIED is a perfect suspense / mystery / and psychological thriller, all w/ one guy who can barely move! Superb...

Like the phone it works. But the directory is hard to get around in. You have to page through all entries to get to the one you want. You can advance but it requires you to enter a number. So if I am calling James is he 5 or 6. I don't know. Why couldn't they allow a search by name.

I bought this GSM unlocked phone to use for travel in Europe.

I really wanted to like this phone.  The phone has four processors. Operation was fast and slick.  It was the right size (small).  I loved the Lollipop operating system. Everything worked like a champ....except...I could not get it to connect to my router.  However, it was able to instantly connect to a nearby public router.

Thought there was something wrong related to modem security, so turned WPA2 off.  No dice.  Did soft resets, hard resets, turned WiFi on and off, tested every channel on the modem, and did about two dozen other checks and tests over the space of about 12 hours.

Well, someone will say "there's an incompatibility with your modem."  And, yes, that may be.  But there are eight other devices that regularly connect and disconnect from my modem (and MAC filtering is not turned on) without a hint of trouble.  So, it's just not worth it to throw out my modem, get a new one, set that up, and reconfigure eight other devices just to test this theory out.

If it works for you, I am sure you will enjoy using it.  Incidentally, mine came with a European charger plug configuration, but included a USA adapter.  Nice thinking on the part of Samsung.

Works well, but it's a pain to add numbers. The competitor has a call log so you can scroll thru past calls and block them whenever you like.  On this unit you have to answer a call then hit block (or a code on the phone keys), or enter a code and the number you wish to block from the phones keypad.  Way too much hassle.  I'm used to just letting it go to voice mail then later blocking the numbers.  I got this because of the big storage, but I'll go back to my old one.  If I need more number storage I'll just add another unit in series.

I have been shopping for a simple, corded, one-line speakerphone for my new business, and have found these are almost impossible to find now - been to every box store and searched online.  Everything is either cordless or have multiple lines or answering machines (we use voice mail in the 21st century) or a thousand buttons.  This is the closest phone I could find to what I wanted.  Does it work?  Yes.  Is it simple?  Yes.  However, the display is hard to read sometimes and does not tilt.  Difficult to program the settings - instructions are not great. Volume control has its limits.  Anyway, I'm still using it, but will buy a replacement if I can every find anything better.  It's OK.  Not many options out there in this affordable price range without going with a business vendor.

Decent phone.  OK navigation.  Worst layout I've ever seen.  I've only had Androids before, but could easily navigate my wife's iPhone (I'm a MacBook owner, so I'm use to Apple's products); nothing on this layout makes sense.  My address book is linked to my Hotmail; which I don't even use.  I can't un-bind the old contacts from my address book, and it's difficult to add/edit.  What happened to the days of type the number in, click save, add name, done deal?  But, once you do add a contact; good luck trying to find it again.

Pros:  Loud speaker; I love the Nokia music app and use it at work all the time; the battery life is great, the speaker is loud, and the alarms are well laid out.

I really wanted to like this phone.  I think it's attractive, well priced, and I really like how you can place your ear anywhere on the screen to hear the sound and the call quality is good.  That being said, I've had a whole host of issues with this phone.  You cannot nestle the phone between your cheek and shoulder because the microphone is miniscule and won't pick up sound.  I cannot use the "select time based on location" because it constantly is changing the time and timezone, regardless of if I'm sitting still or driving home.  The screen is extremely touchy, making Swype and regular text an endurance sport, and playing video games is difficult because even the lightest touch can send the screen spinning.  I don't think I've had this phone for a month yet, and most likely will be returning it for something a little more expensive, but a little more stable.

Going to return...went from an iPhone 6 to this, thinking I could save a little $$ and get similar performance. This phone is pokey and has little internal memory and though some of my frustrations are with T-Mobile as a carrier, this phone is just not up to snuff as a true "smartphone". Feels a few years old.

Big fail on the base speakerphone- immediate cause for return for me.  More than two people could not hear me well over speakerphone using a landline or a Connect to Cell call using iPhone 4.  Very disappointed because there were a number of features that I liked.  While it is likely adequate for most, I need a professional sounding phone for telecommuting, which this phone is not.

Pro's:
- Two landlines plus two Bluetooth phone connections!  RJ11 data port output for fax lines.
- You can conference Line 1 and Line 2.
- Good rubber feet on the base unit.  It doesn't slide around on my smooth desk like other phones.
- "Connect to Cell" paired the base to my iPhone 4 and Droid X quite easily for initial registration.  There are two blue lights to indicate whether which of the two (max) cell phones are connected to the base.  Lights are better than having to read text on the LCD.
- Mobile phones are automatically paired with the base station when in range.  This works well and consistently.
- Phone contacts can be downloaded to the base via Bluetooth.  You have have a separate directory for each phone and a separate directory for the system.
- The base unit's LCD screen angle can be adjusted from roughly 15 to 50.
- Up to 10 speed dial numbers.  Set them via menus and activate them by holding down digit keys 1 thru 0.

Con's:
- Half-duplex speakerphone.  Poor mic quality.  I had to speak very deliberately in order to be understood.  I don't have this problem with some other brands of speakerphones which is is why I know this one is bad.
- You can't conference a Line 1 (or Line 2) call with a Connect to Cell phone call.
- Connect to Cell call quality was not that good.  As good as a typical Bluetooth headset- I'm not a fan.
- Not intuitive how to register a DECT accessory with the base unit.  You have to hold the Hold button for about four seconds to enter Registration mode.  Took me about 45 minutes with web searching to figure out how to pair the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/AT-T-TL7610-DECT-Cordless-Headset/dp/B0019M0DXC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">AT&T TL7610 DECT Cordless Headset</a>&nbsp;successfully.
- I need a DECT cordless headset to work with the phone system and the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/AT-T-TL7610-DECT-Cordless-Headset/dp/B0019M0DXC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">AT&T TL7610 DECT Cordless Headset</a>&nbsp;doesn't work well- poor speaker and mic quality in my opinion compared to a Plantronics CS55.
- No light to indicate if Mute is activated.  You have to read the LCD screen and it doesn't jump out at you.
- It's difficult to understand the phone state if you receive a call over a landline, transfer call to a headset, then receive another call over Connect to Cell.  I was unable to switch back and forth between calls easily.  Poor call management user interface.
- The handsets have a bright blue, 1" ring 1/4" wide ring that lights up when the handset is in the charger.  You can't black it out.  Cannot be used in a bedroom unless you want a bright nightlight.
- No base headset jack.

Others:
- The quality of the screen and typeface is very outdated.  It works, though.
- I would have preferred a Select button to be in the middle of the 4-way navigation pad.  It's tedious and frustrating to use the navigation pad and having to go back and forth to the LCD's soft buttons to select a menu option, or even further away, the Cancel softkey.  You need to use two hands to swiftly navigate the menu system.
- You can transfer a call from base system to a registered TL7600 or TL7610 using soft keys and menu system.  Unfortunately the Headset hard button is only for a Bluetooth headset.  The TL7600 or TL7610 cannot be activated with the Headset button.
- The base station is Energy Star qualified.  I like thinking I'm using less energy so it's nice seeing the sticker.
- The posable antenna makes me think I'm getting better reception.  I don't know if the antenna is for DECT or Bluetooth or the placebo effect.

The rest is a bit disappointing. The volume on the playback of the digital messages is far too low.  The hands free earpiece is a bit large and becomes painful during a long conversation.
 I found the buttons on the handsets to be a bit odd to the touch and just feel 'wrong' to me. The speakerphone function works very well, and makes up for the other, less than pleasing aspects of the equipment.

Just recently purchased this phone. I rate this phone a 3+1/2 stars. QWERTY keyboard is good for size. Sound is weak and could have been improved. Not sure if it was just a bad lot. Rotational transitioning from upright to horizontal view is qwerky and at times needs coaxing by opening and closing qwerty keyboard. Will try for 20 days and may exchange the unit since it seems a bit dysfunctional.  Otherwise, phone calls out well,texting is great, contact list is good, calculator is simple and has large numbers and just a good basic w/ simple features phone! I don't have data plan and it serves more than I really need.

What everyone else has written about the style and sound are right.  But I bought this (expensive) phone because I thought that when vTech WROTE ON THEIR WEBSITE "Share phonebook directories between handsets" they meant it.  But they DON'T.  Each one has to be plugged into the PC individually.  Yuck.  It would be SO much better to "push" the addresses from the base to the headsets.  Also, their software (requiring a comma-delimited file that can't recognize Personal AND Business numbers, can't handle very many letters and sorts by FIRST name) is really weak.  Not being able to delete all logs from all handsets simultaneously is a drag for an OCD person like me.

I have buyers remorse with all the money I spent on them, but they are still beautiful and powerful.  Comma-delimited or not, using my Outlook address book IS better than not.

Updated my old-fashioned landline, now handy to have speakerphone, caller ID, memory and such.  One annoyance is that the speakerphone keeps cutting out and dropping caller's words except in the case of very loud and perfect incoming call.  Usually have to pick up the handset to figure out what my party is saying.

Neat-looking, but the functionality (at least on the Google Play edition) is kind of limited (check the time and weather, call one of the last 3 people you talked with, or answer/reject an incoming call).  Also, it's too easy to accidentally call someone from the recent calls screen or accidentally hang up on someone pulling your phone out of your pocket.

Does a good job protecting your phone, but springs shut on you and is difficult to prop open.

I bought this set of phones to replace a set of Panasonic cordless phones with earlier technology (I was concerned about WiFi interference on the earlier phones).

I've been diappointed in the range compared to the earlier phones.  The base station is in our master bedroom, and the phone on my desk (2 floors down, other side of the house) will not maintain a good connection.  Callers on the other end complain about static and broken conversations.  This was not the case with the earlier Panasonics.

I re-configured my phone with the old system base station on my desk and the other phones spread around the lower and middle floors, and the new system (KX-TG9322T) all on the same floor of the house.  They work (unremarkabley) well, but I miss having the intercom feature that connects all three levels of the house.

Got this to hook up to our internet-based phone service through Comcast/Infinity.  Sound works fine, but I've been frustrated with the way the menu options work.  For example, trying to set memorized phone numbers or save or delete numbers from caller ID is very difficult.  We haven't had a home phone for years and it seems like the old phones worked better.  Or maybe I am just spoiled with smart phones!  If you don't have to set any phone numbers in the directory it works great!

There are too many flush-mounted switches and they are difficult for old fingers to use.
The menu tree is inconsistent, the use of the check-mark and "X" keys do not behave the same way throughout the menu tree. Example; When you go to see what the Message Center Number for SMS is you get a looped-back arrow above the "X" key. This does not mean "go back" or return to previous screen, it's a delete symbol and pressing it removes characters from the Message Center Number... I hope your memory is good because it took me several minutes of digging through the web to find the replacement number. Another example is when you view a screen that has something you don't want to change, you are forced to re-save the item to get out of the screen. You should be presented with an edit query and then forced to save or abandon changes.
Why are these things an issue? Remember, this phone is most likely to end-up in the hands of an elderly, novice cell phone user AND you are going to have to be able to troubleshoot this phone yourself when your elderly parent calls you on the land-line asking about these things. Can you remember all this? Are you prepared to carry the instructions around with you for a few months while your parent gets use to the inconsistencies here?
3-Stars for the cluttered cabinet design and the screwy menu issues. And the phone construction is way under par for a $70 cell phone.
