BT Mango

I have to say (this is ingoring the colour) this isnt a half bad phone. It has everything you need on a home phone and it has great sound clarity. It was like i was standing next to the person i was talking to and we were having the same conversation. I have to say however, i was less impressed with the styling. The colour looks like they just put cocktail on it and it doesnt really fit in too well with my slighty more rustic house. So if your house has a brownish kind of colour scheme and has a lot of wood, this is probably not the right phone to out in that room but if you dont mind a bit of highlighter orange then this would be the perfect phone for you.

BT Mango. Oh dear! Not a good experience for me - this phone does not look as good as it does in the photo being rather cheap and plastic in reality. I bought it online because it is black and promised to fulfill my requirements for a home phone! The sound quality is poor and turning it up reduces the battery life to an hour which is surely a design fault. The menus are not easy to follow although the functionality is best described as basic; the buttons are 'sticky' and need prodding to register, the screen display is not easy to read and the button sequence to set anything up is comical. The whole thing is also too big and clumsy boding the question of why? The ...  Read the complete review

I tried the BT Mango against my better judgement, after having a poor BT Calypso which had a very unresponsive keypad. Why did I let myself get drawn in by this handsets really nice styling? Well, the BT Mango also comes in a aqua blue and white combo, but I went for the orange colour. I was pleasanly surprised when unwrapping it about just how cool this looks. The fact that it is a slider, means that it is really compact. The inverted display (white on black) makes for an interesting design too. The actual phone quality is pretty good, call quality is also top notch. Where the Mango goes wrong though is on two points. The keypad is hidden and ...  Read the complete review

i bought this phone for my home, despite my wife and her reservations. I really should listen to her more, but I was determined to buy these phones. The only reason I wanted them was because they looked like mobile phones, and the colours would go in our home. With heindsight I wish I had never bothered. I should have realised from the outset that they were going to be trouble - I bought them from Tesco but they managed to charge me for them twice... not the fault of the phone, but not the best of starts. The phones themselves worked perfectly well. They do look good - I still think so - and the built in answering machine is simple ...  Read the complete review

This was my last phone before the one I have now, I bought mine from ebay and it was one of the best house phones I ever had, I had it for nearly 2 years and was sad to see it go back in its box into the cupboard. I loved the quirkyness of this phone, the sliding mechinism and the hidden keypad, the answer machine was easy to work and the recordings were very clear, after a couple of hours of getting used to it, the phone was easy to use, the reception was clear, and the whole thing very neat and tidy, I also loved the colour cos it was different from the usual black/silver/grey phones around. One of its best features for me was the ability to read a sim card, ...  Read the complete review
