Summary: Good while it lasted! BEWARE power LOSS...
Review: 6 months! That's how long it lasted. The GOOD
The phone is lovely, looks good and operated well. Nice features, built-in phone book was really convenient. The charge on the phone lasted a few days, no need to be constantly recharging it. I ESPECIALLY liked the VOICE MAIL LIGHT flashing when you have a voice mail message. Then with the press of 1 button the phone dials and accesses the voice mail account. A real JOY! Excellent range. All over house and outside. No interference with other equipment. Now the PROBLEMS:
ECHO..ECHO ..ECHO..
There was an echo with the voice enhancer. Turning off helped somewhat but then there was loss of clarity sometimes. BEEP...BEEP
and an infrequent beep while talking making one lose bits of conversation.. Auto frequency changes maybe? POWER LOSS
The power went off when I accidentally unplugged the phone thinking it was my shaver and the phone RESET AND NEVER WORKED AGAIN! How ridiculous! I have another cordless, a Toshiba, I unplugged that to test and it continued to work after I plugged it back in. All the programmed memory buttons still retained their numbers. With the Panasonic, I tried resetting the phone but alas ... there are NO instructions on how to reset if the power is disconnected. The manual simply said replace handset on cradle and let charge for x hours. Still the thing wouldn't work. flashing lights and beeps! Amazing! I would have returned the thing but decided that I would simply get another phone of a DIFFERENT brand that actually WORKS AFTER BEING UNPLUGGED. My new phone, a GE, has instructions on resetting the phone if accidentally unplugged or power outage. 6 months and it is still working, and no beeps! Unfortunately it doesn't have the voice mail light. I really liked that light! So, if you accidentally unplug your phone beware....all may not be as it seems!

Summary: I liked it
Review: I bought this phone and have not had problems with it. I don't use the voice enhancer and I don't have any problems with echoes. I have had good luck with Panasonic cordless phones and I will continue to buy their brand.

Summary: Very Dispointing
Review: I have an old analog Panasonic 2.4Ghz and love it. So I didn't even think of buying another brand. This phone is terrible. She speakerphone does not work well, continually cutting in and out. The headset is even worse, the echo and digital warble are unbearable. Going to try a GE recomended from Consumer Reports.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!! WASTE OF MONEY!!
Review: I have never left a negative review on Amazon before, but this is a terrible phone. Sound quality is miserable as it cuts in and out as described in other reviews. Also has echo and severe static at times. I've had the phone for 5 months and the battery is already to the point where it only lasts 15 to 20 minutes after a full charge. This appears to be a problem with MANY of the panasonic phone models - just read the other reviews. Best advice is to just stay away from this brand altogether. I thought Panasonic was a quality brand; however, they have proved me wrong. I will NEVER buy another Panasonic phone again. This has been a terrible experience - worst of all, I have come to learn from other reviews that this is typical of the brand and not just a fluke as I had originally thought.

Summary: I WOULD RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND
Review: I originally bought this phone for a single feature - it is one of very few phones on the market which has a mute button on the handset. I work from home and frequently have conference calls where I want the freedom to walk around the house and listen to the call - but do not want the other callers to hear. All phones offer the headset jack - but most other phones only offer a hold button where you can no longer hear the call. Once I got the phone home and installed, I discovered some of the many other great features - a fully functional speaker phone built into the handset. It does not just play the sounds loudly out of the ear piece - but rather has an additional speaker on the back of the phone for clear reception without feedback on the front microphone. There is a one-touch voice mail button on the base unit which is programmable to dial whatever number you need - be it an 800 number or just *98. Additionally it interprets the caller ID name and actually pronounces it in a rather clear voice. I'm sure you could turn this off - but it is a nice feature as I no longer have to look at the screen to see who is calling. The screen has multi-lines and is clear. Another nice feature is a battery charge indicator on the handset screen. Only possible down side is that the handset is a little large - with a two inch hard antenna protruding from the top. But this is rather common on the 2.4 GHz phones. It supports a standard called Caller IQ which you can read about at http://www.openlcr.com/ - it's a nice information service - but there is a nominal monthly fee if you do not let them become your long distance carrier. This feature is completely optional. In general I am very pleased with this phone for the price and functionality.

Summary: Not what I was looking for...
Review: Pros:
The look, very nice.
The functions, varied and useful.
The speakers, very clear and loud enough. Cons:
The caller id voice is difficult (at best) to understand.
The caller id voice does not begin speaking until the second ring.
The display is difficult to read if you have any visual impairments. I am legally blind and have a talking caller id unit I purchsed from my phone company. I can read it as well as record my own voice to announce frequent callers. I need a second box for the upstairs. I will return this item and purchase the Command Comm Talking Caller ID 6000 unit for $35.

Summary: A great phone, but read the features carefully
Review: This is a wonderful phone. The only problem is that I will have to return it because it does not have a built in answering machine. I didn't read the fine print. It's identified as "Phone Company Voice Mail Compatible". So, I think that's the same as having Caller ID. And, it is. You must subscribe to the service. The problem is, it's not optional. If you want voice mail or answering service, you must subscribe.
So, it's my fault. I didn't read the details as carefully as I should have. I assumed it had built in answering machine capability as well as phone company service compatibility. So, I offer this review just to advise you to be sure of what you are buying. I'll look for a comparable model with answering machine because I love all the other features. And I had it plugged in long enough to appreciate them.

Review: This Panasonic is a good phone overall. I especially like the easy to program voicemail options. The talking callerID is sometimes hard to understand (it is a "female" computer voice), but I am still able to figure out what it is saying. There is a bit of an echo but turning off the voice enhancer cured this problem. The built in phonebook keeps me from always running to my address book. This phone was just what I was looking for - a hands free (speakerphone) option for checking my voicemail.
