Amazon.com Product Description
The Vtech IS6110 DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone with Instant Messaging Capability is the first cordless phone to offer a QWERTY keyboard, along with IM and instant voice (peer-to-peer) features. It has an extra-large color LCD for easy viewing, making it easy to read and write IMs. The phone includes built-in service for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), MSN, and Windows Live programs. Employing a click-to-talk system, you can send and receive IM voice chats with online buddies. To set up the phone, you simply connect it to a landline outlet and to a PC via the included USB cord. Using the phone for instant messaging applications frees the computer for other uses. The phone itself features DECT 6.0 technology for superior sound quality, security, and range. A Speakerphone is built into the handset for convenience, and the phone has memory for 50 phonebook entries. It supports caller ID and call waiting, and stores the last 50 calls. The phone has multiple ringtones and will record your own sound clips directly from a PC or any type of sound equipment.
Product Description
Introducing the IS6110; a state-of-the-art DECT 6.0 cordless phone providing you crystal clear, interference free calls. Even better, it's designed to enable you to IM/IV from anywhere in the home. Pretty cool. It works as a standard cordless, but for those who have given up the landline; no worries. It works with your PC and broadband internet for IM/IV.

 not MSN futureproof!! April 3, 2009

yes, this product is fun, exciting, supports AOL/MSN... but it fails to support the updated MSN/Windows Live builds later than 8.5 (such as builds 12 or 14, which is the new MSN 9), nor does it support any other languages of MSN builds other than English/US.
i had to actually track down MSN 8.1 English/US (not English/India) to use this, which is no easy feat, as MSN/WL installer for 8.5 automatically updates to 14 (which is MSN 9), thus making this innovative product a useless, oversized cordless phone. I just emailed Vtech for workaround, but don't get your hopes up. it makes no sense for Vtech to have had forethought to support future updated versions of MSN/WL, as Microsoft tends to phase out older versions of MSN (remember Windows Messenger?) and renders them null. Cool product, but intrinsically and fundamentally flawed. As MSN is such an integral part to this product, i think it warrants only 1/5 stars for such failure until updated to support later MSN/WL versions.

I first bought this phone for my daughter who had moved and needed a new land line. She connected it to her computer and called me through MSN messenger. She talks to me on her phone through the computer and with my headset and microphone speak to her from Kuwait for free.
We have enjoyed it so much that I bought one for my two other children and my twin sister in Texas. It is fantastic! Great clarity, text messaging capable and looks great!

 Not Vista 64 Compatible September 3, 2008

The software included to make the instant messaging functionality work does not work on Vista 64. I called Vtech to see if they had a fix, they told me that they were aware of the issue and they would be releasing a new driver. That was several months ago and no update. The phone part works fine, except you cannot turn off the handset.
VTech IS6610 Is Amazing, Worth Every Penny... August 28, 2008

Ok, when I first got this everything pretty much was straight forward. Install the software, plug in the stuff, and a few other simple things. One thing I wish I would've known was my computer can't be signed on to messenger if I want to use it on the phone. One thing I really liked about the phone was the keypad, it was very simple and the buttons were comfortable, but still something to get used to. One other great thing is the talk option of when you're on AIM. Other than the part where the computer has to be signed off in order for it to work on the phone, this is all in all a great product.
