Cingular Go Phone: AT&T EP5632 5.8 GHz Digital BlueTooth Enabled Cordless Phone with Answering System Review

Considering my prior experience with an AT&T cordless phone (E5965C), and some of the negative reviews posted here, it was with reluctance that I purchased this unit along with an expansion handset (EP562).This is the only cordless phone I found that has all the features I'm looking for (bluetooth capability, being able to listen to messages from both the handsets and the base unit, a spare battery stored in the base unit allowing the phone to be used during power outages, blinking light on each handset for new messages).

I've had the phone for about a week now and have had no issues at all.The phones were a breeze to set up and configure.The user interface is easy to understand and navigate.Voice quality is very good.The Bluetooth connection works very well for me when I connect it to my cell phone.I've yet to experience a disconnected call.

Battery life is much improved over my other AT&T phone.The handsets can go more than 1 day without being charged.

My only complaints are a few relatively minor issues.The system has a telephone directory where you can store names and telephone numbers.Directory entries are stored separately on each handset and the base unit.There is no way to transfer directory entries from one handset to the other or to the base unit.With a set-up like mine if I want to have the same directory on the two handsets and the base unit they must all be entered manually.Rather tedious.I like the idea of having separate directories but it would be nice to have the ability to transfer individual entries, or the entire directory, between handsets and the base unit.

The same goes for the caller ID log.The system stores the 100 most recent incoming calls.These calls must be cleared off of each handset and the base unit individually.It would be nice to have a global setting that would clear out the Caller ID Log on the entire system.Again, minor issues..:)

07/22/2008:I've had this phone for about 7 months now.It still works very well.I've recently started using it along with a bluetooth headset.No problems at all with disconnects or voice quality.Great product AT&T!Keep making phones like this one.
