Jacqui, Blackpool Style conscious
- Good points:
- Lovely looking phone
- Bad points:
- When the phone is in the stand the screen is not illuminated so you have to lift it off to check if you've any missed calls which is a little annoying.

- Good points:
- Looks the part, easy to use. Sound quality is fine compared with other ordinary landline phones.
- Bad points:
- Considering it's price, it's rather light and plasticy. I'd have expected quality build and materials at this price point.
