Punkt. DP01 Cordless Phone with Answering Machine - Hands-Free Design, Scrollable Voicemail, Crystal Clear Audio, DECT-Standard Modern Landline Telephone for Home - White

Nice-looking phone that does everything you need (i.e. makes calls) in an eye-friendly package. Unfortunately it runs on rechargeable AAA batteries which inevitably go dead after a couple of weeks, so your calls will be interrupted by the phone gasping for juice then expiring.

Do not buy this great looking piece of s***! I bought it for its looks and thought its simplicity would make ita no brainier with function . But it does not function but continues to give me no end of frustration .Will go to the trash as soon as I replace it . If there was a zero star rating I would give it.

This phone was highly rated in design magazines just on the basis of its looks, which are sublime. It also has most features required on modern phones. Unfortunately, it has one fatal flaw which consigns it to the trash bin. The battery refuses to hold a charge, and it constantly drains away even when in the cradle. It is inevitably dead when I receive a call and I have to rush for another phone elsewhere. Avoid this phone at all costs.

This is not a cheap phone but it's a piece of junk. Sure it has some nice functions, a good design but how good is it when you can't use it because the batteries are so crappy the phone dies. I had bought my mom the same one and own one too and we both have the same problem. Bad AAA rechargeable batteries inside. Should be recalled or customers should be getting better batteries. I tried changing mines with Amazon batteries and it's even worse.
