Summary: Very well designed
Review: Hey, the picture is not clear at all-- this is a phone with an alarm clock on its "back" --when the phone is laying down in the charger, it looks like an alarm clock, with a design on the side. (The Amazon photo above shows only the "face" of the phone; you can't see the clock display at all.) Search on the web for "tg272s" and tyou can find other, clearer photos.That said... this is a VERY well designed handset. The alarm has a backlight but it's not incredibly bright, which is great since it sits right next to me on the bedside table (my last alarm clock was like stadium lighting at night!)... the feature set is almost identical to the base handset, including the integrated speakerphone (!), the dual line support, etc. There is no headset jack, that's not cool, but the alarm is clear, has a snooze feature and is easy to set, too. The phone book can be transferred from the base unit, just like the other expansion handsets. Overall, smart design, and a perfect mix (for me, anyhow) of the alarm clock and phone functionality that I needed in my bedroom.

Summary: Buyer beware
Review: If you purchase this product, I hope you are completely satisfied. It is my opinion that the reliability of Panasonic products has slipped in recent years, and this was confirmed to me when a product I purchased quickly failed. The reason I'm posting this is to warn you that the warranty that accompanies Panasonic products only has value if the company chooses to stand behind it. In my case, they weaseled out of it, leaving me with a total loss and no further recourse. Good luck with your decision.

Summary: Battery Eater
Review: This handset eats batteries to the point where it is almost unusable. If youy leave it on the charger base, the NiCad batteries develop the "memory effect" and lose the ability to hold charge. If you leave it off the charger base, it doesn't have much usefull battery life, and you're always dropping conversations because the battery pooped out. The flaw in the design is the lack of a "smart" charging circuit in the phone that cuts off charge current automatically when the battery is charged and allows the user to keep it on the charger base.

Summary: Nice Features
Review: We have enjoyed both the base and the expandable Panasonic cordless phones. This is nice because of the alarm feature. I've used it for conference calls with work while at home. A good option for one of you expandable pieces to the base.
