This phone is basically a coupled handset and answering system base station. The quality of manufacture is among the very best I have used.
Sound quality is excellent. The handset is sync'd to the base for messages or voice memos.
There are more features available than can be described here, but the machine can be put into use for messages within a few minutes. I use Skype and have no problems with the chimes others have had using other VOIP services.
Comes with a built-in SIMM card reader for transferring of phone numbers.
Only minor and mean minor drawback is the limited choice of ring tones. A USB interface would give this a rating of 5 stars.
No regrets about this purchase.

I really like the features of this phone, namely its ability to copy the contents of our sim cards so virtually all of our contacts are programmed instantly into the phone. I like the size, and the way it fits in my hand. The speaker phone has good fidelity and is not echoey. However, this phone has the absolute worst selection of ring tones I think I have ever encountered. The only one that even resembles a "normal" ring has no pause between bleeps so it's a sort of continuous wailing that's totally obnoxious.

I love this phone. The SIM card function is brilliant, the design is smashing, and the various functions rock my world. I would however like more options in regards to the ring sound. Also, this phone is a bit pricey comparing to other phones in the market with similar or same functions. I would still say that the "look" of this phone compensates for the price and it is well worth it.

Great telephone; annoying cradle and message chime. Impossible to use with any VOIP Telephone Service Provider that uses FSK packet sending (specifically MWI - message waiting indicators).
Approximately every 30 minutes or after a message is left in order to signal if there is a new message; the receipt of this packet will cause the Philips SE7452B/37 phones to chime and light up their message waiting indicators. Turning the ringer off or using the "do not disturb" feature does not prevent the chime sound from occurring.
Until Phillips fixes this, you might not want to try it with your VOIP Phone Service Provider, unless you'd like a grandfather clock feature that doesn't keep time well but does a lot of chiming.
My VOIP Provider - VoicePulse Broadband Phone Service, is aware of the problems with this telephone - strangely, the Philips Tech Reps I spoke with were not... too bad, as I loved many things about this phone...!
Highly recommended (Five Stars) if you don't have VOIP

Good things:
The sound quality of the handset is excellent. No distortion, very clear.
The phone's software is well worked out, with sensible menus and navigation. Very usable.
Not so good:
Compared to many other phones, the buttons are easy to make mistakes on. I find that many times I think I've hit the button but the phone doesn't. It is very difficult to dial quickly with success.
I bought this phone because as a speakerphone it operates full duplex. It also has claims to excellent sound quality. This is all true, but not very useful due to the positioning of the speaker. On speakerphone, the speaker used is on the *back* of the handset. I think this is what their marketing means by "a real acoustic chamber" (snide remarks about marketing suppressed). If you turn the handset around, the speaker is ok, but the microphone is now pointing away from you. A bad design decision. The base station does have a speaker in it, but this is only used by the answering machine.
