This phone has some major problems, but still functions okay for home use.

1. My phone currently does not allow me to set which country it is in, so every time I make a call in the same town I live I need to put in the full international number like 00-1(555)555-1212 rather than just 555-1212 or even (555)555-1212.

2. It seems to not have proper DHCP implementation.  It doesn't ask to renew DHCP leases when they expire. It just holds onto the IP address it has. This can cause a lot of trouble in a large network environment if you have more than 5-10 of these phones on a dynamic DHCP address pool. In this situation the DHCP server keeps trying to hand out addresses only to find they are currently in use. After a few failed attempts this results in no service for the person requesting an IP.

3. It appears Belkin has not release any firmware updates to address any of the problems with this phone.

Giving 1 star just because Bekin should release a firmware update to address these issues.

Purchased the ooma device to replace existing landline service from ATT. The device operates and works for the most part, however, there are a few issues to be aware of:

1. Complex installation: The device set-up and installation is not straight forward. There is a specific sequence to how the device is installed (or re-installed if it needs to be re-booted) to your home network and other phones.

2. Conventional phone support: While ooma systems support 3rd party conventional landline phones, these phones tend to occasionally drop out and need to be re-established with the telo hub.

3. Horrific customer service: If you thought your health insurance or cell phone service provider has poor customer support, beware... it can be much worse. Ooma's customer support takes the initial stance that the customer is wrong and there couldn't possibly anything wrong with their service or product. After having my call passed up the customer support chain, the rep (Raymond) used circuitous and incoherent logic to avoid taking any responsibility for design faults in the ooma product. It seems that the very basics of how customers should be treated are completely lost on Ooma, which fails to realize the precariousness of their market.

This phone works fine for us, however, when it rings, and we pick up another phone in the house to answer, this phone keeps on ringing, one solid ring and doesn't stop for a few seconds after another phone has been picked up to answer. Again, I can't send it back to be replaced because my 30 days are up. And again, I won't be ordering another phone from you.

This is an okay phone. It is not the best but for the price is actually pretty good. I had this phone for almost a year now. At first it was really speedy but then as time went on it started getting a little bit slow. The camera is alright if you are outside and there is sunlight. Indoors it sucks. The pictures look all grainy and low in detail. Same thing for the front facing camera. Battery is not the best. You can probably get 3-4 hours of battery life with extremely heavy use. If you are broke and don't want to spend a lot of money this phone is good. Otherwise I would invest on another phone like the zenphone, oneplus, or moto g.

The seller did a good job of providing me with a sealed new Samsung phone in the factory box, so the sales get no bad marks. (I bought the phone through the officially listed Amazon Prime store.) The problems I had were with the phone itself.

There were two main problems with the phone, aside from ordinary bloatware complaints. First, the USB slot on the phone was hard to access due to the unique shape of the outer shell of the phone. The slot simply was not flush with the outer casing, so my cable would not fully plug into it. I actually modded my old Samsung data cable to fit the slot. The other problem with the phone was that the back speaker quit working after only two weeks. From looking online, this is apparently a typical problem with this phone.

The phone is fine but the menu system and operational controls leave something to be desired.  If you are not tech savvy, the menu system can be a problem.

This phone set looks stylish and is pretty good as a concept. However, there are a few issues which the phone / handset has
1. Its buttons are not push buttons but click buttons like on a moto rokr. Makes it a pain to dial numbers.
2. The address book capacity is good but storing numbers in the address book is a chore. There should have been a way to sync those between the handsets and a PC
3. The battery life on these handsets was very bad with the original batteries which came along with the phone. It improved a lot once I replaced the batteries.
4. These phones are very conducive to damage due to dampness. One of the handset acts quirky during thunderstorms if I leave the windows open. I have also faced problems with that handset if I leave it next to the humidifier in winter. The other handset works fine.

The phone came with hardware issues (battery problems). Unfortunately, I live overseas, which makes it difficult to just return the product. Buyer beware.

It's a fragile phone, good for making daily calls, but the battery is quickly exhausted by online streaming or web surfing. The processor is at its limit with Android version 5.1, and so the OS is not upgradable. It came with a windowed sleeve and a custom screen shield. The sleeve is not very substantial and provides little protection from much more than scratches. The adhesive screen protector had the holes for the front camera and flash punched on the wrong side (or else the adhesive was applied to the wrong side). I called, but could not reach the people who might send me a replacement. I have not yet found a screen protector matching the screen dimensions. That said, the phone works well with daily charging and can host most apps. YouTube videos, in fact, play well with good resolution. I like the camera, which also offers high resolution shots. I don't know, however, that I would recommend it because of the limits on its cpu and battery and because it seems too fragile to trust to the street. Nice specs otherwise.

We bought this phone plus 4 additional handsets directly from Vtech. It is our third Vtech phone system and we were so pleased with the previous ones that we didn't consider another brand when we needed a new one.  In general I like the features of this phone but this version has some problems that we are not happy with.

1) The buttons are back-lit in green but the display panel (where caller ID and other info is shown) is not.  This may not be an issue for young folks but for us older people, the lack of back-lighting makes the panel difficult to read, even with glasses, unless there is bright light available. This is not adjustable - I called Vtech to find out.

2) Our base set is in the office at one end of our ranch-style home and one handset is in our bedroom at the other end of the house. Unlike our previous phones, there are times when the handset in the bedroom cuts out, so that the person we are speaking to can't hear us, though we can hear them.  We have tried switching handsets but it happens with all of them.  It is annoying to have to move from the bedroom to another part of the house to continue a conversation.

3) Unlike previous models, this base set does not have a message waiting indicator.

If these issues won't affect you I can recommend this phone for good features and battery life.

[Updated 4/7/2016] We've had this phone for a while and while it is still a good bang for the buck, we have ran into a few issues that make it less of a great deal.

First, about two weeks ago the phone started randomly rebooting.  I looked to the Asus support websites and found some suggestions regarding deleting cached data so I looked into how to do this and ran into my second issue.

There are too many models of the ASUS Zenfone 2.  By phone appearance/specs/name I assumed this was the ZD551KL and attempted to follow those instructions, but could not get to the recovery menu, only to fastboot.  I got frustrated and eventually tried following the instructions for the Zenfone Selfie, which worked.  Trying to get support with so many different SKU and submodels is frustrating.

I was able to resolve the problem so far, a few days have past and we haven't had any more reboots, I will update this later if we run into more issues.

The case being made of plastic is still annoying as I have had to remove the back a couple of times and the case definitely shows makes from being opened.

One other small annoyance is that the phone gets hot and throttles quite a bit during app use, though I live in a warmer area, your experience may vary.

[Original]Great phone for the price.  We paid $199 for the 3GB/32GB model and are very satisfied with it.  There is some bloatware, some of which you cannot remove completely, but with what you get for the cost, I can overlook that.

The phone feels solid enough, it would be nice if the back was metal.  I only gave it four stars because of the plastic back, you have to take it off to get to the sim/sd card slots and the back on our phone did not come off very easily, in fact even being careful and using a very thin flat screwdriver we put a small ding into the plastic back.

The camera is a bit slow to respond compared to other phones we've had and it takes some manual adjustments to take really nice pictures, but it is capable of quality photos.

We aren't really power users but my wife does like to play casual games throughout the day and we haven't run into any issues with the battery life, she charges it when she goes to bed and it is fine for the rest of the day.

We are using this phone with T-Mobile and have had no connectivity issues at all.

Overall, especially considering the price, we really enjoy this phone and will seriously consider it as a replacement if one of our other phones dies.

I bought this phone at Walmart last year, 2016. It's my primary phone now, because I don't do too much calling on it; it's more like a starter phone for tweens. It's also for those who just need a phone for emergency use only. It's not a phone if you want to do a lot of videoing, or selfies, and pictures because it doesn't have a lot of memory. However, the pictures you'd take on this phone, will look pretty good, considering the fact. Also, it makes an annoying beeping noise, while talking on the phone, not constant, just every other minute; for me that's a minus. The battery will die if your phone is shut off for a day or so; yet it's an okay phone.

I've had this phone for a year or so, and while I'm pretty happy with it's functionality, it has always had some problems with crashing, spontaneously rebooting, or just spontaneously turning off, and these have worsened gradually with time. The camera takes OK pictures in really good light, but degrades very quickly in less-than-ideal lighting conditions... and the ergonomics of camera use are weird, IMHO. The battery life hasn't held up too well over time either.

I've decided to upgrade to a Sony-Ericsson K550i Cyber-Shot. It's smaller, lighter, has better battery life and is known for its reliability. The camera resolution is better, the camera ergonomics are better, it's an MP3 player too. Worth the extra $50, in my book, at least for my needs. This phone isn't bad - it's served me well, and it will make a good backup, but I wouldn't pay out of pocket for an unlocked replacement.

This phone works well generally, but it probably has a recurring problem with the SIM socket, since it regularly displays a message thatits SIM has been removed, requiring a reboot.  Decent value for the price.  Also, the seller gave no indication that I would need to do some special set-up in order to have the phone connect to my service provider, so some provider-specific set-up instructions covering at least the major US carriers would have been greatly appreciated.

The phone doesn't do very well when it comes to receiving multimedia messages, and app crashes are fairly common. It does, however, hold a 3G signal very, very well. My phone calls do not typically drop and I can hear the other person clearly. The speakers on the phone are decent, and music played at full volume can typically be heard throughout a room. The dual cameras are of average quality, and the resulting photos are very low quality when displayed on a larger screen. The actual body of the phone makes it look expensive and high quality, if that's what you're after.

It gets the job done well enough but don't purchase it based upon the reviews left by individuals who received free phones. Works well as a short-term gig.

The phone had issues.first of all the upper part of the screen is discolored. When using earphones and charging or when using phone as a car ipod, the phone begins to make a loud deafening sound . The phone camera freezes too. All these  continue until there's a restart of the phone. Which means you have to wait longer

Phone has a lot of kinks and problems.  Enlarges automatically when trying to dial #'s making it so you can not key in the #
without sometimes turning off the phone.
