Motorola intros energy-saving D10, D11 digital cordless phones

They may not do something crazy like connect to the internet, but Motorola's new D10 and D11 cordless phones do break some new ground in their own little way, with each boasting an eco mode that promises to automatically reduce power consumption based on how far the handsets are away from the base. To add a bit more green cred, Motorola also manufactured each of 'em using a minimum of 20% recycled material. Otherwise, you can expect the usual backlit display, 100-number phonebook, and speakerphone functionality from each, with a bit of SMS messaging and three-way calling thrown in on the D11 model. No word on a price just yet, but both should be available by the end of the month -- in the UK, at least.

Ive had these phones for about a month now - a set of 3; one master/answer phone unit and 2 slaves for £69.99. Nice looking phones (as far as phones go!!), you can also get them with a blue light. Work really well, nice and clear calls.

That a pretty bad site. As for the phone. Tey don't use too much energy any way so these are pretty boring.

I would strongly recommend Siemens Voip dect phones over these. ike the A580IP or S675IP both have power saveing technology and awesome sound quality, especially when over internet with phones from siemens in both ends. Works great with SIP providers and analogue combined, up to six concurrent SIP accounts can be used to really save some money using simple least cost routing functions which is included in base via web interface.

I continue to be amazed every time I see new landline phones for sale. Is the market really there anymore?
