With BT phones they can be hit and miss. As BT don't make phones themselves, they have them badged up.
Sometimes they get a decent company like Siemens to make them, mostly some cheap factory in China and they are dreadful. Sometimes even in the same range - one model could be a good make, others a poor make.
It's hit and miss with phones and even the likes of Philips and Panasonic have some very good and reliable models and also some dreadful and unreliable models.
You could have a look on:

We had a BT DECT and it was excellent, this was a Siemens phones and went for this one due to knowing it had excellent reviews, we bought a BT corded phone without reading reviews and had to have the phone replaced with a different model as it was poor quality rubbish - should have read up.
