Philips VOIP3212 VOIP And Skype Compatible Digital Cordless Telephone Twin Pack

from: Philips

September 21, 2006
Being somewhat of a novice to Skype - We purchased this phone set mainly on the basis of the good price for a cordless twin pair and existing recommendations on Amazon.

The setup was pretty painfree - but as we'd installed on an office network PC, we just needed to tweak the server firewall settings to solve an initial IP conflict.

The phones themselves are great, easy to use and call clarity is pretty clear. There is ever such a slight delay in some calls, but it is tolerable and doesn't cause any annoying overlaps of conversations. We didn't realise that it also had a regular Line-In socket for our BT Line so all incoming calls are picked up normally.

Eventually sussed out that you can make regular UK ... Read More:

Philips DVDR3480 - DVD Player & Recorder

from: Philips

August 08, 2007
I bought this attracted by the price and spec - including the USB connection. The first one I received had an immediate fault and I had to return it. The replacement is now defective after six months - it won't open to let me put in DVDs or take them out.
Either I've been incredibly unlucky or this product is a lemon.
My advice - look for an alternative.
Ray
PS I've given it a star as the system wouldn't accept the review without one.

Philips DECT 4452 Twin Pack - Silver

from: Philips

May 15, 2007
As has been mentioned elsewhere, the display whilst readable, isn't that clear viewed in the dark when the blue backlight is on. Changing the contrast doesn't help a great deal but is fine under ambient light. The rubberised buttons themselves also light up very brightly.
I bought the quad handset version yesterday for a good price & set up the remaining fully working older Philips Onis handset as a 5th phone - it looses functions such as answerphone access but can make & receive calls including intercom mode to & from the supplied handsets.
The menu structure is generally OK but to stop the red "Event" LED from flashing on the handsets requires too many button presses through the menu for my liking (one option is to also set a bleep to ... Read More:

Philips AE5900/05 - DAB Clock Radio

from: Philips

August 08, 2007
bought this because of the the low price and am very happy with it. manages to pick up a good signal although i live in an area with only mediocre digital reception, my walls are 3 feet thick and i live in a valley. i don't know if this would be any different with any other make/model but i can say this has a great sound for it's size; it's easy to use (apart from the mistake in the instructions regarding preset stations detailed in other reviews) and i reckon it looks nicer than most other digital radios on the market. if my house burned down and i got a big pile of insurance money i'd get exactly the same again.

Philips VOIP8010 VOIP & Skype Compatible USB Internet Telephone

Is it everyone or just me who has a problem with Philips? Every single item I have ever purchased manufactured by this company has broken down and has been irreparable. This 'phone. was no exception. I can hear who I'm calling but they can't hear me, What's the use of that? I simply will not buy anything manufactured by Philips ever again. If I were able to give it zero stars I would do so.

Philips 42PFL5603D - 42" Widescreen 1080p Full HD LCD TV - With Freeview

from: Philips

March 12, 2008
I have had the tv for 2 weeks now and i am still amazed how much better it is than my last 32"lcd tv.My last tv was a cheap lcd and the philips puts it to shame.I use the philips mostly for my xbox360 through hdmi and the picture is amazing even the freeview gets an excellent picture with very little distortion.The photos above dont do it justice it is a very nice high gloss black surround sleek and elegant.All i can say is for the price i would recommend the philips 42PFL5603D, but thats just my opinion.

Philips SHS3200 - Headphones ( over-the-ear )

from: Philips


These are designed for quite large ears, if like me you are a girl with medium/ small ears then they may be uncomfortable. The images makes it look as though the angle of the actual speaker pieces are adjustable, but in reality they are not and for me were not very comfortable.

On the plus side I found the sound quality ok (however I'm not especially picky on this), and the phones do not have any earpiece covers that could come off and get lost.
