Its a pity that MS has not updated the logo/picture of this Korean babe,because the very reason why I was totally fida on this model was due to its seductive look.Anyway you can have a glimpse of it at:
https://samsungelectronics.com/cordless_phone/sp_r6150_features.html
The model shown on the samsung website is 6150 and the review is about their latest unveiled SPR7000 ,which is similar lookwise,but slightly enhanced in terms of its features.Surprisingly the website is yet to update details about this latest model.This is said to be the worlds lightest ,slimmest cordless phone and it weights merely 90+ gms ,WOW ,can you believe it?Initially I thought it was a new mobile model from samsung misplaced in the cordless section .
The usual choice for cordless is panasonic ,but this time I wanted to try something different and while browsing the electronics section , I happened to sight this new model and it was love at first sight and I never had decided on any product so instinctively,in a spur of moment.
It has all the usual features ,its digital (DECT),7 hours talk time with 70 hours standby ,cLIP enabled ,multi-language (8)support ,intercom ,missed call recording (useful if CLIP is enabled on our network),registering of many handsets to different/same bases ,hot keys call settings, call barring ,PIN features ,phone book features (70 records),unique ring tome for specified numbers ,memo record,call transfer ,auto answering facitilty, and blah blah which is so common to all the cordless and many mobiles.
You can also record the telephonic conversation which is stored as a message,this feature can be quite useful.
Coming to the drawbacks:
This is a flip open kind and hence it may be inconvenient sometime especially if there are kids in house .
Since it is very compact like Nokia8250 ,it can be very difficult to dial numbers when it is used by everyone in home ,especially elders.
The model when installed in India needs a minor replacement of line cord provided along with the standard kit ,and its quite cheaply available,so not a major problem.
Else its a seductive beauty .You have optional accessories like additional handset which can registered as additional handset to the same base and microphone.
This comes in 3 colours like black and metallic silver and champagne gold ,but I chose the metallic silver.It costs just $90 around 4.5K in US .
