Advantages: Easy to use and a bargain price

Disadvantages: some features are limited

The BT Studio 3100 handsets - better than my last ones!

I've had these handsets for about a year now and I am quite pleased with them. Although there are some limitations to their features for the price (£14.99 in Tesco's) I feel they have been great.

~~~Appearance~~~

Both handsets and bases are light silver in colour with a darker silver/grey shade buttons. All buttons have white writting/digits so they do stand out well.

The handsets have a LCD display that you can set the time to be displayed constantly, along with battery power & signal symbols to show energy and strength. They are also light weight to hold - particularly useful when the caller tends to like to talk!!

Under this display panel are 3 buttons for secrecy (hmm have never trusted this feature on any phone, after my friend being caught out) a pause / redial buttton & Menu button.

The Menu button takes you through several optionals, these are:

*** the phonebook**** - that allows you to store family and friends
numbers

**** setup **** - this lets you change the base volumes, melody, delete handset (if you want to re-configure the settings) PIN code (to set a code to restrict use), dial mode (to give different tones to the phone), default button that allows you to return to the manufactors settings.

**** handset**** - this allows you to set the ringtones to a choice of your own - although these are fairly limited there are several that are good to listen to. You can also adjust the volume tones of each hand set separately. I have found this function really useful - the handset downstairs can be set at a higher volume but the one in the bedroom is a lower softer tone.

**** data / time **** - this is self explanatory - I have found this function really easy to use so again a plus for this product.

****The Bases ****

Both bases are again light in wieght. There is a 'find-me' button that has great positives in a house that teenager children live - how many times do they take the phone to their rooms and then lose them!!!

The leads on the bases are a good length and can be unplugged quickly if you need to discount one of the bases.

The internal ring feature is handy however, not on a positive note - again teenagers in bedrooms can abuse this feature.

All in all - I do think my BT Studio handsets have many advantages and I have certain found them easy to use.

They have been very reliable and certainly for the price a bargain.

Hope you have found this review helpful, thanks for reading
