ATT Home Manager

Got an email yesterday morning that the ATT Home Manager was on sale for $99.99.  SOLD!  Seriously.

This is a system I’ve wanted since it came out, but $299.99 and $199.99 were just too expensive for what you get.  And you get a lot.  The base station, a frame and a handset.  But $99.99 is definitely worth it.

It’s very easy to hook up.  You take the base station and plug it into your  network via ethernet, plug in a phone cable and the power.

Frame and handset are even easier.  They each have a base that plugs in to the wall.  It took a while for the frame and handset to see the system.

I also got an extra frame — and it was missing the March update but got updated in the night.

And an extra handset.  You can add two more handsets so I am going to get them and completely replace my old system.

The frames are great — they are a beautiful photo frame — best resolution and quality we’ve seen. They also don’t sound like a speaker phone and at $49.99 a piece a good deal. However, you can only have two frames on the system.

The handsets are good too.

There some things lacking — until July 13th, you could sync your mobile phone contacts with the system but since it didn’t work with the iPhone, ATT is eliminating the service — that’s a major fail.

It needs a web browser and a configurable RSS reader.

I would LOVE for it to do twitter and that’s just a software thing.  Same thing with Facebook.

But for a wireless phone system, it’s all good.
