Customer Review: Great home office telephone, but don't expect long life.
Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE October 12, 2009
As much as I loved this phone, after 18 months the handset stopped ringing. I contacted support and the only thing that can be done is to replace the handset - which may or may not solve the problem. I understand that the warranty is one year, but am disappointed that such an expensive phone has such a short life.
I bought this phone because I work from home 4 days a week. I make a lot of international calls and I had trouble hearing on my previous headset and land line phone. I chose this phone because it had all of the features I was looking for and included the headset - meaning I would have no configuration problems.
What I love:
Easy to use volume control button for both dialing and voice.
Excellent sound quality.
Lightweight handset with belt/pocket clip.
Mute soft button on the handset - it is surprising how many phones do not have a mute button.
Speaker button is great for dialing, then I switch to the headset - I don't like the load dialing tones in my ear when using the headset.
Nice neat base to store and charge both the handset and headset. The base will also charge my Plantronics Voyager 510 headset.
I can use the included software to update my phone book (see note below about Outlook synchronization).
Could be better:
Headset sometimes slides around my ear. There are no foam adapters to customize a good fit like those that come with some other Plantronics bluebooth headsets.
If you want to synchronize with Outlook, you are limited to around 200 contacts and the field names are shorter. You will probably have to edit names to fit the available field lengths. I don't change my contacts too often, so synchronization with Outlook is not important to me.
The "select" soft button on the menu is on the right side of the screen, but on most cell phones it is always on the left. Admittedly not a big deal, but it is a bit annoying.

The Plantronics Calisto Pro is a fully integrated, hands-free phone system that will redefine the way you work at home or in your home office. Offering unprecedented levels of versatility and freedom, this innovative, compact system is ideal for anyone who multi-tasks while talking on the phone. The Calisto Pro lets you communicate hands-free as you email, roam around your home office or home, or even cook dinner. And for the ultimate in convenience and efficiency, it lets you seamlessly switch between your landline, your VoIP service, and your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone calls.
And thanks to the system's superior noise-canceling Bluetooth headset with extended mouthpiece, you'll always sound professional. The Calisto Pro phone operates on DECT 6.0 frequency, which means that call clarity is not affected by Wi-Fi networks or home appliances, such as the microwave, and you can roam up to 300 feet from the base without suffering any degradation in sound quality.
Streamlined, Ergonomic Design
The Plantronics Calisto Pro features a streamlined and elegant look that's designed to reduce desktop clutter. The base doubles as a one-stop docking and charging station, and holds both the Bluetooth headset and the compact handset. It includes a USB port that lets you connect to your PC to sync your Outlook contacts in a matter of minutes (the handset has the capacity to hold up to 200 Outlook contact with three phone numbers each) and connect to either your Yahoo! Voice or Skype VoIP service.
The compact handset docks neatly into the base and includes all the calling features you'd expect in a phone, including caller ID, call waiting, 3-way conferencing, redial, speed dial, and more. It features a large, high-resolution LCD for easy viewing and offers up to eight hours of talk time, or 120 hours of standby time, away from the base. A flip-up waist clip lets you carry the handset with you hands-free as you roam.
The Bluetooth headset also offers up to eight hours of talk time, or 240 hours of standby time, per charge, and can be used with your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone wherever your travels take you. And because the headset's features a superior noise-canceling microphone with an extended mouthpiece, you'll never have to worry about sound quality.
Landline, VoIP or Cell--It's Your Choice
With the Calisto Pro, the days of acting like a circus juggler with your phone services are over. With the Calisto Pro, you can consolidate your voice communications into a single, convenient and easy-to-use system. By simply connecting the base to your computer with a USB cable, you can make and receive VoIP calls with Skype or Yahoo! Voice. The Calisto Pro also lets you easily switch over to a call on your landline or answer your Bluetooth enabled cell phone through your headset.
The Calisto Pro brings a touch of elegance and a whole lot of convenience into your home office. The PC software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Vista and the Mac software is compatible with Mac OS 10.4 and later. Calisto Pro is backed by a 1-year warranty.
