Summary: Good Build Quality but Terrible Sound Quality
Review: As I said in my review of the base system, Motorola has on paper a nice looking system with a lot of neat features; but in reality the sound quality is extremly poor to the point of being useless to me.Also note: in my case the extra handset I bought would not read the "Shared" phone directory the that handsets that came with the system shared so there seems to be different revisions between these handsets and the ones coming with the base units. After using these for the last 2 months, I can say this whole MD4XX system from Motorola is not recommended by me. I have now gotten rid of them and am much happier with their replacement (Motorola's new 5.8ghz system)

Summary: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE
Review: Ditto the reviews below. The "on" button on the handset is not working so the only way to answer the phone is by pushing the "speakerphone" button. To my disgust, Motorola tells me that since the phone is no longer under warranty they will not replace it and - believe it or not - there is no authorized service center that can repair it. In other words, if it breaks the only option is to send it to the landfill. UNBELIEVABLE!

Summary: Poor quality keypad
Review: I bought one of these phones and liked the design a lot so I bought a second remote handset. Problem is, I've had the phones only a year and the keypad on one of them has essentially stopped working (most of the numbers anyway). Without the number "1" on the keypad working, this phone is pretty worthless!
Good phone but quality is bad. I think my one-year warranty is up too.

This phone was truly a diapointment

Summary: Works just fine for us
Review: I have been using this phone for a month now and have had no problems, definately an upgrade over a 900mhz system, and the price difference between the new 5.8 systems makes this an affordable system.

Summary: piece of junk
Review: I wish there was a zero star rating! Like other reviews, my "1" stopped working on one phone and on two others the "on" button is dead. I bought a base with two extra handsets and EVERY ONE of them has stopped working. These are 6 months old. I have sent them to Motorola at my expense for repair. Stay away from this product!

Summary: They must abuse their phones because mine is great
Review: I've owned my phone for over a year and have two of them and have had no trouble with them. They are solid and reliable and better than most phones I've had including panasonic. Maybe the other people toss them on the floor all of the time or take showers with them, I'm not sure? I would buy them again in a second but fortunately I won't have to since they have never given me any problems.

Summary: Great features when it worked
Review: It has really nice features, however the buttons stopped working after about 3 months.
One by one the most used buttons will stop working. I know a good bit about electronics so I decided to open up the phone to see what the problem was. On the back of the button pad there was an oily film all over the contact points for each button. I dried it off and set the keypad on a piece of paper for 24 hours and sure enough when I lifted up the keypad there was oil on the paper. I don't know if the oil is from facial oil seeping through the keypad, or a manufacturing defect, but what ever it is it destroys the carbon contact on each button. Dont spend this much money for this phone system. You would be better off throwing that money in the trash.

Summary: Started off great, but.....
Review: Just like the other review's....first the 1 button stopped working, followed by the 5 button...now the phone is useless. Very disappointing product from Motorola. Spend your money on something different.

Summary: A good phone, but weak battery performance
Review: We've had good luck with the sound quality and range on these phones, but the battery life is terrible (all three handsets have been this way since day one). If the handset is off the charger for about 2 hours and then you have a call, chances are you'll start to get the annoying low-battery beeps within 10-20 minutes. Because of this, the handsets are generally kept on the chargers at all times, which sort of defeats the convenience of a cordless phone.
