Swatch TW01-2US Corded Twin Phone (Blue)
Regular phones pose a problem for people who really like talking on the telephone and want speak right up, any place, any time: there's no room for the third person! The more reserved among us suffer in silence, while some people even go as far as to snatch the handset right out of the other person's hand - generally the end of any polite conversation.The Swatch Twinphone has the solution: the base acts as the second handset. That way, two people can place or answer calls together. And if there is a twinphone at the other end of the line, the conversation trio can become a quartet. Of course the Swatch Twinphone provides all major functions of a standard telephone, too, such as a call timer and a variety of memory dialing options.
The Swatch TW01 corded Twinphone features a ergonomically designed base that acts as a second handset, allowing up to three people to converse at once. And its semitransparent case makes an cool fashion statement. The handset operates all of the key functions of the Twinphone, and inside its case is a switch to change from tone to pulse dialing if needed. It has a 10-digit LCD that shows the number you're dialing and the duration of each call you make. The 10 memory keys and 3 direct-dial keys are especially convenient when calling frequently dialed numbers. Each of the 13 memory positions holds 16 digits, including scheduled pauses. There are also one-touch redial, mute, and flash functions. But the most interesting feature of the Twinphone is the dual handsets. When you want another friend or family member to join your conversation, simply pick up the Twinphone's base, and the base becomes a second handset. Swatch's Twinphone is built for comfort. The curved design of both the handset and the base will keep you from tiring during long conference calls. In our tests, the Twinphone had good sound quality and was easy to program. Its few but well-chosen and easy-to-use features, and its fun styling, make the Swatch Twinphone a great choice for anyone who wants a splash of color and loves to talk. --Megan Dugan Pros: - Sleek ergonomic design

Swatch TW01-2US Corded Twin Phone (Blue) Reviews
It's beautiful and really eye-catching. The handset buttons are easy-to-use & intuitively labeled. But if you're looking for a beautiful basic telephone that doesn't necessarily have all the bells and whistles, this is it. If you're tired of all the boxy boring phones, try this one. Only three things keep it from a 5-star rating: (1) The unit has ringer volume settings (which is always nice) but the ringer can't be turned off altogether; (2) There is no volume control for the earpiece portion of the phone; and (3) I can't get the keypad to light up on my unit. Really a great product.
