Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: near-perfect SOHO phone Comment: This phone lives up to the promises, and I'd say the reviews are generally pretty accurate. Going cordless on the headset is a big win, esp if your phone is on a desk with lots of PC cables, etc. The battery life is great for both the phone and the headset. When I work from home, I can spend 6+ hours on the phone, and it's not an issue. As an added bonus, this phone works as a speakerphone, even when it's sitting in the charging cradle. Having a headset chraged built nicely into the base is also a big plus. Tiny nits (and I do mean tiny) 1) Yes, you'll need to make sure the headset seats properly to charge, but it's not a big problem. 2) The handset buttons are slightly small, but it is a fair trade-off for a small sized handset. The LCD display could have been smaller for larger buttons, and that would have been OK, but it works fine as is. I haven't tried pairing the headset with other devices, but Bluetooth is a standard, so it should work pretty easily. All up, we're very pleased with the phone. Pricey, but worth it. Customer Rating: Summary: Everything about this phone is cheap, except the price Comment: I am very technically inclined and usually never write reviews. I bought this phone 6 months ago due to the good reviews here on Amazon. BIG mistake, are people here who give this 5 stars actually using it?. What is wrong with it you ask: - poor battery life, better charge it every night or no phone for you tomorrow - thick and bulky like an old flip phone from 10 years ago - phone software and software you install on your PC is archaic - screen on handset is such poor quality it is almost unusable - static and hiss during calls is unbearable, worse than the cheapest wal-mart phone you can buy. - usb connection to your pc causes severe noise an all phone extensions until you disconnect the calisto pro from your pc again - headset quality is very bad, 2 hours max and your ear is killing - headset button already cracked, I have never dropped it or rough handled it - all functions are sloooowwww, push a button..wait, answer a call..wait, make a call..better wait, want to redial..wait some more - ergonomics, not on this phone - speakerphone is worse than my cell phone's Unfortunately it is slim pickings out there if you need a bluetooth headset to work with your home phone line, keep looking as the calisto pro is a good idea done very very poorly. Customer Rating: Summary: Tried 3 not one worked right Comment: Tried three brand new phones of which none of them worked right. Never was able to use the call logs completely though they work fine on all other phones. The tech support team is batting 1 with knowledge for every 5 who are clueless. If tech support is bad I always give low ratings as customer service should be #1. Imagine them wanting to send me a reconditioned unit for a brand new one. Way overpriced. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice Item Comment: Great bluetooth, very functional. Buttons are a bit hard to press, but it is a nice unit. Customer Rating: Summary: Good phone with some significant limitations. Comment: I've owned this Plantronics Calisto Pro cordless phone for about 6 months. It's my 3rd cordless phone which I use at the office on a daily basis. Here's a concise summary of the pros and cons based on my experience: Pros: 1. Very comfortably headset; 2. Easy to charge both headset and handset; 3. Great lighted LCD display; 4. Handset stays connected to the base at a good distance; 5. Headset stays connected to the handset for up to approx. 30 feet; 6. Very good sound quality; 7. Easy to adjust the volume while speaking. Cons: 1. Headset disconnects unexpectedly (hanging up on the caller, approximately every 30th call); 2. Small buttons which are tough to read (even though they are lighted); 3. Limited instruction manual; 4. Annoying to hang-up phone (either pressing a small button on the side of the headset or pressing the tough to find button on the handset). I spoke with a technician at Plantronics regarding the headset disconnection problem. He was minimally helpful, instructing me to re-link the headset and base (even though they are only a few feet apart when it disconnects), which only corrected the problem temporarily. Overall, it's a good phone with many pros and some significant cons, at a very significant price. My conclusion is that I would not buy this phone again, but will continue to use it for now.
