Beaverton, Ore. – VTech Communications, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of VTech Holdings Ltd. HKSE: 303; London SE: VTH; ADR: VTKHY), one of the largest suppliers of corded and cordless phones in North America, today announced retail and online availability of its latest phone systems. The 2008 line features the trend-setting LS6117 – the first cordless phone to deliver creative control over the phone’s aesthetics with customizable graphics – as well as stylish new additions in the DECT 6.0 family to provide consumers with the latest technology for call clarity.
VTech’s 2008 phone models are available at www.vtechphones.com and retail outlets such as Best Buy, BJ’s, Circuit City, Kmart, Office Depot, Sam’s Club, Sears, Staples and Wal-Mart stores nationwide.
“The 2008 lineup addresses what consumers want today – stylish designs with advanced technology features,” said Matt Ramage, senior vice president of product management, VTech Communications, Inc. “Consumers want phones that fit their homes and lives, and that’s why we’ve added even more options for customization, expandability and organization, along with advanced technology for call clarity and interference reduction.”
Customized to Fit Your Life
New to the VTech DECT 6.0 lineup is the customizable LS6117, which was inspired by skateboard and snowboard designs. The front offers all the key functionality of a cordless phone while the back side is dedicated to making a design statement.
With the LS6117, consumers can easily alter the back of the phone to feature one of five unique design inserts provided, or they can log onto www.vtechphones.com to create and print their own designs, including adding pictures, to slide into the phone’s back panel. No other phone system gives consumers this many design options or the ability to personalize the look.
Functional and Fashionable
With VTech’s new DECT 6.0 DS6121 digital expandable cordless phone, users will enjoy a cordless phone sporting a sleek design to fit with contemporary rooms. The phone’s silver
metallic finish and blue backlit keypad and display provide a great ambiance that lends style to the modern home. For convenience and flexibility, VTech also offers the triple-handset DS6121-3 and five-handset DS6121-5, which offer similar features to the DS6121 (additional details below).
Trendy and Sleek
The DECT 6.0 LS6125-2 cordless phone system is the flagship product of VTech’s “V Style” line and features high-end cosmetics and performs unlike anything in the cordless phone market. This second-generation product upgrades VTech’s popular DECT phones first launched last year, and mirrors the “thin” trend seen in today’s popular consumer electronics. Also available with extra handsets, the LS6125-2 and LS6125-3 (additional details below) enable users to place extra handsets throughout the home with only one phone jack required.
Quality and Great Value
VTech’s chic CS5121 will appeal to budget-conscious consumers looking for smart design.
