British Telecom BT Diverse 3016 Classic 1-Line Cordless Phone

I like the build quality. I like the clarity of rececption. I like the feel of the buttons, and the colour gives it a serious look. I even like the fact that it is not so light as the newer ones.

Make sure you keep the handbook, cos you'll need it for every options you want to change in this phone, be it ring volume or tone. It's almost impossible to do anythin without referring to the handbook. My earlier phone developed a fault with one or two buttons not responding.
