It works great not pretty but volume is good on both ends of the call. Also nice to listen to a podcast and be able to get a call and know it .

Great comfort fit and good audio response.
Only feature missing volume control and mute button.
OK since most VOIP software provides on screen access to these functions.

I especially like the bluetooth feature so I don't have to run to answer my cell phone wherever it may be, I can just answer my house phone to receive or make calls from my cell.  Sound quality on both ends are very clear with no drop out.

I would highly recommend.

I talk on the phone for hours a day with a wired headset (I telecommute).  All these handsets have a 2.5mm jacks, so I can use the headset in any of the phones.  The battery life isn't quite good enough to make it a full day of talking, so I keep two handsets in their bases on my desk.

After using this phone for a while, I unplugged my big serious business phone and just use these.  The portability, even around my desk, is fantastic.  The handsets are small enough to fit into my shirt pocket and let me run to the door to sign for a FedEx package while I am in a meeting without much disruption.

The range is fantastic.  The base station is on the 3rd floor, but I can keep a good signal on the 2nd floor, the 1st floor, and even in the basement.  No dropouts, no noise, no cell phone-style "breaking up".

The phone book is shared across the handsets.  I don't keep many numbers in it, but it's fine for a few numbers.

The Talking Caller ID is a little silly, I just turned it off.  I think it does an admirable job of pronouncing difficult names, though.

I don't use the speaker functionality but imagine it's fair at best.

The menus are OK and not too hard to figure out.  As a usability critic, I don't think the UI on the phone is a pinnacle of usability, but it's by no means bad.  It's functional.

I was hesitant to buy this set because of the high price, but I have no regrets after 6 months or so.

Update:

After looking at some of the other reviews, I thought I would add a few comments:
- I haven't been able to figure out how to change the volume.  Generally it's not a problem, but once or twice I've looked at the handset and thought "where is the volume control?"
- The blinking orange light is definitely annoying--I use this system with a Vonage line, and for some reason the handsets always blinked.  I just disabled the blinking light because (1) I don't use the answering machine and (2) I don't use voicemail with Vonage--calls forward to my cell and I get my voicemail there.
- The always-on orange light isn't a problem for me with the handset next to my bed.  I've had clock radios that I had to put pillows over because of the light.  No problem here.

I wanted an answering machine that would allow me to screen calls when we are awake and in the living room.  I have a cordless phone system that has it's own answering device, but in order to screen calls, I have to change the handset setting and it will be heard on all of the handsets, not just the one .  We have an extension in the bedroom, but I don't want it making noise in there because my spouse works nights and sleeps during the day.  This device meets my needs perfectly and has a range of settings that allow you to personalize how you want it to work.  Love it!

The 'do not call' list is a joke!  I'm tired of telemarketers constantly harassing me.  I finally decided to give this a shot - what did I have to lose but headaches!

I did have some issues connecting the unit, but CPR's customer support is right there for you.  They walked me through  my issues step by step.  The 'block call' button is my new best friend.

One comment that I would like to see addressed is a more comprehensive instruction book for the US.

Since the phone no longer rings I can now hear the crickets chirping!

UPDATED REVIEW:

I've been using the blocker for about a month and I am loving not having the phone ringing constantly.  I'm blocking new numbers as they come in.  I actually enjoy hitting the 'block call' button!  It gives me a feeling of power against the telemarketers.

Spoof calling numbers are a problem, but stick with it.  You'll eventually block all the numbers from an individual call center.  You may think the blocker isn't working - but it is.  The number being displayed on your caller ID is not the actual number of the source of the call.

I so love not getting the 'second and final warning to lower your credit card interest rates' phone calls.

If you are on the fence, get off the fence and buy this unit.  It works and your sanity is well worth the purchase price.

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.

I wear 2 computerized hearing aids and still was unable to hear many on a normal phone. Supposedly, there is a "telephone" selection with one of the hearing aids, but it doesn't do that much either. Then I found this Clarity C-4220 and now I can even understand my mumbling murmuring son when he calls AND the cute little high pitched voice of a little Grandson. If  you wear hearing aids this is the phone for you. It has all kinds of features which allows you to tune in to a particular person's voice, adjust it to your hearing aid, and boost the volumn on those that like to whipser talk. This phone permits me to get back in the conversation with those who call just to talk.

I gave this as a gift to my dad and he has been very pleased so far. Love the option for announcing who is calling.

I bought this cheaper model first just to see if I needed to invest in a more expensive one.  I am so happy with it.  The only problem was figuring out the instructions.  I went on line and also found instructions.  Biggest problem was knowing was initials stood for.  I had to look them up on line.  You will need to know HF is hands free or speaker button on hand phone.  Then you press the number that blocker lists on your phone followed by * star button.  Then follow the rest of the instructions ignoring the dial tone you hear through the speaker.  It really has stopped my excessive annoying calls.  I copied off my phone's log  the bad callers.  Some were the same area code such as one which was 855 with numerous different numbers following.  The beauty of the blocker is all you have to do in that case is enter the 855 and all those calls are blocked.  I would give it a 5 if it didn't occasionally block me when I call home from work.

I purchased the Jabra SP700 hands free device back in May or June and it's been working wonderfully. Setting up was as simple as setting up any other bluetooth ear piece.  I've been using it everyday and it's been 3 or 4 month now and I have yet to have it charged.  I listen to loud music all the time when I am driving and it alerts me loud enough that I know when a call is coming through. It's pretty cool that it blurts out the number for the person that is calling so you have an idea of who is on the line before you answer the call.  It's loud enough to hear the person on the other end and I've been told that I am heard very clear.  I like that it clips to my sun visor so it's easily accessible when I need to answer a call.  There are other features to it, but for my needs it is by far one of the best purchases I have made.  I highly recommend this device to anyone that wants something easy to use and is hands free.  The only down fall are the basic instructions that it comes with, but a simple search on the internet to the product/makers site will get you the complete manual.  Overall, I love it!

I like to wait a couple months before reviewing something, so now that I've had this for 4 months, here are a few thoughts.

I think this is a terrific phone system.  I bought the 3 handset system and since it's expandable, I ended up purchasing 3 additional handsets to cover all floors of my house with a single system.  The display is excellent, although some of the buttons are small.

I really like the answering machine functionality, including a switchable alert tone for messages.  The tone is enough to get your attention, but not annoyingly loud that you have to retrieve your messages to shut it up.  Each handset has an alert light if you have messages, and you can retrieve them from any handset.

There are enough ringtones to satisfy anyone's tastes.  I've used the handsfree adapter on a 90 minute conference call while sitting outside on the deck and there was no dropoff of reception.

Sound quality and battery life are both excellent.

This is a 2 thumbs up purchase.

It is great except for voice command...I have yet to make a call using this feature but I love everything else.  The sound is very clear to and from the caller and no outside noises on either end..... If voice command worked as well as all other features my rating would be 5 star but definitely a great buy for the price. Thinking of buying my daughter one also.

I bought this for my father who kept receiving unwanted solicited phone calls. He is in his 60's and hard of hearing and was annoyed that he could not block the calls with his phone service. I own the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Panasonic-Dect-6-0-Black-Cordless-Phone-with-Answering-Machine-and-ChoiceMail-KX-TG7432B/dp/B001P80ERA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Panasonic Dect 6.0 Black Cordless Phone with Answering Machine and ChoiceMail (KX-TG7432B)</a>&nbsp;and love my phone set. Last year my number was somehow sold and it was nice to just block the callers. With my set I can block up to 30 numbers. It is easy to block the calls and remove them later to add newer numbers. I have been very happy with my Panasonic phones so I knew my father would love his. He set them up and charged them and when I went over the night he received them, they were all charged. Setting up the answering machine was easy. He wanted one of the phones in his bedroom with the ringer off. It literally took seconds to do. I have spoken to him several times on his phones and I will admit I am jealous. His are very clear, crystal clear! In fact his answering machine is so clear I thought he answered the phone. I was there when he recorded the message too. These phones are easy to use and are loaded with features. I like the belt clip as does he if he goes outside and needs one on his belt. The range is incredible too, never have I heard interference. One thing I love that is a selling feature for me, these phones all have headset jack inputs. I use a headset so I am hands free and have that feature with my phones. It seems a lot of newer phones they are getting rid on the headset input. I was happy to see the input on all of the phones. I also like that he can answer the phone from the base with the speakerphone button if he misplaces the phone. He keeps the main unit on a shelf in the kitchen. Great phone, value, features, you name it. I love Panasonic and now my father does too. They are the best phones.
