I don't know about features, but I'm having a hard time finding the default credentials for the thing...EDIT: I found a user manual online. http://www.smithgear.com/itt-8212.html has the link to the google doc. The credentials are on page 16.

Yes, It does not offer a dial plan. So, you must either press # or wait for the dialing timeout before it dials (8 secs I think.)

I have not been able to find anything that works - I haven't thrown it away as I keep thinking I'll find somewhere it will work - no luck so far. I reviewed what others have said - it becomes obvious that we are not all getting the same item as some state things like 'no adapters included' or 'not as illustrated' mine was exactly as pictured and came with two adapters - this is the only one I can comment about.

I plugged the Cortelco Single Line Wall Telephone into the same jack as the previous phone. Both phones worked with the DSL filter. When we are on the other phones (RF remote phones) and want to hear better, we change over to the Cortelco phone. No problems.

Well, if it only works with an iphone, there's your answer? But chances are, it actually works with Android devices as well, was just recently released, and is being offered at a lower price to move aggressively into this market. I would hazard a guess that the price on the older full range bluetooth will fall once discontinued. The older model however will work with far more devices then the new smart, as the new smart version would require BT 4.x, which is not present in many handsets outside newer iphones and android devices. My question is, why would you spend the time trolling this page, and not ordering the smart version if you are one of the proportionately lucky few that can use it problem free?

On an older analog phone, this item is great. However, with digital VoIP I'm not so sure. If you read other people's comments they talk about an "echo" when they make calls. This could possibly be a factor, but it's worth giving it a shot since it's so cheap. IT's a great DIY fix if you dont want to shell out high money for phones and want to retrofit a cheaper phone for using it as a headset. I've used this for over a year for my home office with a basic "civilian" phone and it continues to work great.

HI. The adaptor I received was for 110V AC. The receiver takes any adaptor that provides 9V DC ( center pin is neg Outer sleeve pos. ) 500maAlso read the other replies to your ??. I will say that for the low price of these radios , if you get a good one out of the box it's well worth the price. Sangean and others are better but you just can't beat the low price of these 450's If you are a collector or just a real SW enthusiast the S450 is nice to own. After a bad experience with the first one I bought & returned, the replacement works fine... better than the newer "field" radio that replaced the 450. You can buy the S450 as low as $49 new HI.

this is a VoIP phones and therefore not analog. It is not the phones job to connect to a POTS line, it is the Gateways job. In short, it cannot be connected to an analog line.

The seller is pretty clear that it's not universal, it won't work on many non-Cisco phones and not-all Cisco phones are compatible.I'd have to say "buyer beware", since there's also a chance that your PC headset won't be compatible either. (does it use two plugs, or just one?)A quality, professional-grade headset (e.g., from Plantronics, Jabra, etc) is a good investment. If you're just looking for an alternative, and you already use a qualified headset, then consider this experimental.Also, the seller does note that they have another adapter that may have broader compatibility. (part no. 01-PC35-RJ9) Take a look there as well, and good luck!

I would not buy it now. The last one was weak on display and ability to load addresses. However, if there was a decent electronic Rolodex out there for a reasonable price, I would consider it. Keep in mind that I don't use smartphones. I use my cell phone for one reason - make calls. I don't get excited about electronic toys that provide no value.

you are right but there is a market disconnect here. with a wireless carrier, the price of the phone is dwarfed by the annual expense of subscribing to the service. as the other posters indicated, this is not the case with skype. the whole point of using skype is its low cost.i would love to have one of these but the morons at netgear priced it incorrectly.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

A heads up to everyone who hasn't bought this yet: Amazon now has it available for preorder, available Sept. 1, 2014 as direct from them with Prime shipping. And at a discount from the $ 64.99 MSRP: As of today, $ 49.65. I recommend locking in the price now. If it goes up, you've saved. They have a policy if there's a price drop up to when it is released, you get it at that price. Sweet! Heres the listing : Philips Norelco RQ12/62 Replacement Head for Series 8000 and ArcitecThe picture looks different cosmetically. The actual cutting heads look similar to the original functionality, and should work for all shavers. I preordered this for my 1290X.

D. Steelman- I don't know what's going on but I'm in the same boat. I ordered this because it was supposed to be a smart charger that knew when to stop the charge. It doesn't. It seemed a cheap alternative to the fancier La Crosse. Instead I feel like I threw away the $22 I paid. (I see now it's going for $10-$11 more, and not sold directly through Amazon.com.) Anyone know the best way to get this exchanged for the advertised model?

I just noticed the inflated price. I bought mine a month ago, found it as effective as a whole new adapter, but then lost it when my granddaughters were here for the week. At $10 I wouldn't have 2nd thoughts. But at over 15 (price hike, tax and shipping) you may wish to look into the MagSafe 2 adapter knock-offs. They'll probably work just as well and last longer (because they're much harder to lose).

Well it seems from lots of web searching CTEK owners are a bit more tech savvy, and a bit more passionate about they're CTEK's, than NOCO owners are about their NOCO's. And the CTEK just dropped to $99. Decision made :-) That said they both seem like great chargers. I'd buy both to compare if I were richer.

Yeah, I agree with you. For my use I'd not buy a Touch now even at $150 as a discontinued product. Luckily I payed only about $200 and have had years of great use of it, with years more coming. My guess is that many of those buying them now at outrageous prices are doing so as backups to their existing Touch's as there really is nothing else out there in form, function, features, sound quality even at those inflated prices. Many have compared the Touch's DAC alone to standalone DAC's costing $900.

Your absolutely right and although I did like it, I won't be buying it again as the price doesn't really align with the benefits. I am part of Market America and use something called OPC's and they actually work much better and are a better deal. I just got this product because I got it on special for $5 and thought it was worth checking out. If your interested in OPC's let me know and I'll send you more info on it.
