Works OK, until it doesn't........2007-12-19

SpectronIQ has a 90 day warranty. How bad would your electronics have to be to break within 90 days? My DVD player lasted about 5 months of light use, then the battery bulged and would not stay in the unit. Look at the companies web site before you buy. To me, it seems they are counting on making money off the people who will buy non-name brand because it is super cheap. In the case of this company, I would say definitely think twice.

Pros and Cons.......2007-07-27

Pros: Nice size screen for the price with nice clear picture. Takes movement without skipping. Battery lasts for about 2.5hrs. Comes complete with carry and carseat mount case, home and car adapter. Has worked with purchased and recorded (dvd-R) movies. Battery charges quickly.

Cons: Volume without headphones is very very low. Volume is ok with headphones. It comes with earbud headphones with a splitter so two people can watch at once but I have not used the ones that came with it. With my own headphones the volume is fine and the sound quality is good.
The dvd door is pretty flimsy. Due to this alone I would not recommend this unit for operation by a child. As long as you aren't abusive it should be fine though. The unit itself seems as sturdy as any of the name brands that I've checked out in stores.
Some features (like fast forward and turning on/off captions) only seem to work by using the remote even though there seem to be buttons on the unit itself. I do admit thought that I haven't bothered to read the manual and I simply may not have set up some features properly.

Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and it seems good value for the price.

Product Description

The VTech i5866 is an advanced cordless telephone that operates in the 5.8GHz frequency range. The i5866 is capable of supporting up to a maximum of 8 handsets. Using additional handsets, up to 2 people can be conferenced on a call or two extensions can be conferenced on a call, while two other extensions can be talking internally, using the Intercom feature.

Amazon.com Product Description

The i5866 from VTech is a 5.8 GHz cordless phone system with a number of handy extras, including an all-digital answering system, and multi-user expandability to eight handsets. The i5866 utilizes the 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology to provide clear, accurate reception with less interference than traditional 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz phones. The answering machine stores up to 15 minutes of messages split among three mailboxes, while full remote operation allows you to check messages even while you are away from home.

Caller ID/call waiting compatible, the i5866 has a 50-number caller ID memory as well as a separate 50-name-and-number phone directory to help you keep track of important contacts. You can select among eight ring tones and 12 musical ringers, while the supplied audio patch cord allows you to record custom ring tones.

A speakerphone on the handset combines with headset compatibility to provide hands-free communication options. Handset-to-handset call transfer allows you to route incoming calls to any handset registered to the system, while three-way conferencing lets you communicate with multiple parties at once. An intercom feature provides a way to communicate between handset locations, and a global page/handset function lets you speak with all handsets at once.

Additional features include flash, redial (last 10 numbers), and hold. The NiMH battery provides up to eight hours of talk time or up to five days on standby, while a low-battery indicator lets you know when to return a handset to its charging cradle. A handset control allows you to adjust volume levels. The i5866 also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

Poor Quality, Poor Performance.......2007-06-12

I purchased this phone at Sam's Club about 1 year ago for full retail price at the time. I hate it. The sound quality is really poor. It constantly tells me that I am using the wrong batteries even though they are the factory batteries that came with the unit. There is no option to turn the ringer off on the base - so if you select a personalized ring tone you hear the ring tone AND the base ringtone(which cannot be changed or turned off). The outgoing message for the answering machine cannot be turned off or muted either, so everytime we receive a call we all have to listen to my outgoing message, and it will slowly drive you nuts. The buttons are awkward and pretty cheap and cheesy. I'm going back to a motorola as soon as I can justify spending another $100+ bucks on a phone. Another downer, we've tried carrying the phone across the street when we are visiting our neighbors outside (maybe 40ft away) and there is no reception, 5.8GHzs my @%%. It's a piece...

Good phones but poor quality.......2006-03-29

I recently bought the i5866 DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and six handsets. I have a 5 level split level home with only one servicable phone jack. I also run a standard G Wireless Lan in the home. The router for the lan is in the basement and the phone is situated on the next floor up.
I don't really know if the router was the cause of the problem but all but one of the phones (located on every level of the house) transmitted garbled speech. The sound coming in to the phones was fine, but no-one could understand what we were saying back. Also one of the phones would not recharge it's batteries. I returned the lot.

Excellent Sound, Good Overall Phone for the Price........2006-01-07

I am no expert on cordless phones, but I have owned my share of different brands over a 15 year period of time. I owned a vtech long ago and did not like the sound quality back then. This new phone sounds great and has a few cool features you should keep in mind: First, you can record your own ringtone from any sound source(my kids love that), but the playback ring is not as loud as I would want it. Second, you can communicate between handsets(I like that), and lastly, you can transfer calls from one handset to the other. All the other features are cosmetic and minor, but cool if you are into those things. I honestly don't know what people expect from a phone of this price, sure the Panasonic phones are probably better for range, but I think most people don't go too far from home with a cordless home phone. I'd say the best thing about the phone are the type of batteries it takes. I can't see buying a cordless phone battery for $2o and having the thing not hold a charge because someone but it back on the base before its time. NiCad batteries are a thing of the past and this baby comes with AA Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeables that can be purchased anywhere and recharged many times and replaced with this most common format in batteries. Even the base has a recharger for spare batteries. Good Phone for a good price!

operates at both 2.4GHz and 5.8 Ghz.......2005-12-13

I don't want to start a big argument here, but despite what Mr Rusty H. Hodge said previously, the VTech i5866 phone does apparently operate at both 2.4GHz and 5.8 Ghz, AT THE SAME TIME. The handset transmits on 2.4 GHz and receives on 5.8 GHz. The base unit is just the opposite. You'll find this info on page 44 of the owner's manual, which you can download from Amazon or VTech.

Over a year - no complaints.......2005-11-23

We're a six person household so the phones get a workout. We've been through several phone systems and like this one best. Its been a joy for the past year with narry a glitch.

Base station is fairly compact and handsome but notably easy to use. The 5.8 spectrum does not interfere with cell phones, or my Linksys Wireless G network. Its always clear as a bell. Best answering machine I have ever had. Records and playsback perfecty.

The handsets are great, easy to use, easy to navigate. Would be a neat trick if the memory synchronized between the handsets so you didn't need to enter phone books more than once. Also would be neat if handset could access the answering machine which is controlled directly from the base system.

Reason I am writing this review is because I came back to order another handset. All in all this is the finest home system I have had. (I did a review on the ATT 954, a thumbs down. But I have busted or dusted my share of Panasonic, Radio Shack, and Uniden over the years.)

Product Description

The CentreCOM Micro Hubs are twisted pair hubs intended to connect up to eight IEEE 802.3 10Base-T network segments. In addition to the twisted pair interfaces, an IEEE 802.3 Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) is provided for attachment to other Local Area Network (LAN) media through an external transceiver. With this interface, the hubs can connect directly to different LAN media such as thick or thin coax, fiber optic and twisted pair. The CentreCOM Micro Hubs have no configuration options, permitting easy installation and operation. These micro hubs utilize the latest IC and Surface Mount Technology (SMT), which increase functionality and reliability. The CentreCOM Micro Hubs are small in size yet they provide the complete functionality of large hubs including packet regeneration and network partitioning. The packet regeneration results in a higher performance network by regenerating preamble, retiming the data packets and extending collision fragments to ensure collision enforcement by all nodes. Each segment automatically detects the polarity of the receive pair and reverses should the pair be incorrectly installed. The IEEE-defined link integrity test function continually monitors the receive pair to ensure link continuity. It also includes a partitioning capability where each segment automatically disconnects itself after repeated collisions are detected. The hubs support jabber lock-up protection on all interfaces, preventing transceiver lock-up resulting from packets that exceed the maximum packet length. Network diagnostic LEDs are provided on the front of the CentreCOM Micro Hubs to aid in troubleshooting and fault isolation. There are two LEDs associated with each twisted pair segment and AUI that indicate packet "Receive" and "Port OK" (indicating an operational segment.) Additionally, there are three central LEDs indicating "Activity, " "Collision" and "Power."
