Summary: A buy-it-and-forget-it phone ...
Review: ... which is certainly a good thing. Now that I've bought this phone, its solid construction and excellent performance leads me to believe that this will be the last cordless telephone I purchase in a long time. It seems that I go through cordless telephones fairly often, usually thanks to the cheap-feeling construction and bad reception of other phones, but this Panasonic KX-TG2216 performs like a champ and looks made to last. And I can't recall any static or other ill effects in two weeks of owning it.
It seems Panasonic knows how to make a solid phone, and Amazon's price (at least when I purchased it) is a steal.

Summary: Some Concerns
Review: I bought 2 Panasonic KX-TG2216FV phones based on the glowing recommendations and also steered a neighbor to buy the same phone model. Positives are that all 3 owners really like the features on this phone and the voice quality sounds superb to the caller on the other line. However we are all experiencing the same INTERMITTENT problem with the connection disappearing for a few seconds or altogether dropping. Maybe it was a faulty batch but the phones were bought from different sources. I suspect that this phone is particulary sensitive to any other devices in the neighborhood that use the same 2.4 Ghz frequency. My microwave is mounted on the other side of the wall and when it is 'active' the phone is unusable (conversation undecipherable). That is the only device I have that competes in that same frequency space. At this point I am weighing which will be more annoying, these intermittent disturbances or going through the process of selecting and replacing this phone.

Summary: What a phone!!!
Review: I purchased this phone after several frustrating years with other cordless phones. I will never have to buy one again, because the Panasonic KX-TG2216 will last forever! It has EXCELLENT voice quality, and it almost never gets "fuzzy" reception while speaking. I got mine in red, which looks really sleek and futuristic. The many different ring tones, the very large memory storage, and the ergonomically correct design have made me recommend this product to everyone. The price that amazon offers for it is not bad, either...

Summary: Finally - I found my match!
Review: I was on the quest for my match - my phone match that is. And I finally found it. I was very frustrated, since I went through one phone after another. Would take it out of the package, read the booklet, get the battery charged and then - nothing but dissapointment. Tried the VTch and Uniden and now this Panasonic phone. Even though I thought it was a little pricy I decided to give it a try. Does not have an answering machine, but that did not matter to me, since I have Voice Mail. Right from the start I was excited, since I just had to charge the phone for 6 hours and not 16 like the other phones. Excellent clarity and reception. Another feature I love is, that I am using the 10-10 phone #'s for cheap long distance and this phone can store phone # 36 digits long. So you plug all the numbers in and just hit "phonebook" and "dial". Great! Bought the phone in the blue/purple color. It also has a battery indicator like you know it from your cell phone. So, when the battery is getting low - put it back in the charger. I would recommend this phone to anybody.

Summary: Quality and good looks
Review: I've been looking for a decent cordless phone that doesn't cost a lot and will handle CID/Call Waiting...but, I also wanted something that doesn't feel like a pile of plastic in my hand and look like a cheap stamped out generic device. This phone, so far, has exceeded my expectations. Everything about it is quality. The packing..the included ear piece headset...the built in speakerphone...the manual. The one thing I wanted to find out in the manual was how to treat the battery and it defined that perfectly. I kind of knew this already, but it was great to see that they spelled it out in print. To achieve maximum memory/charge, it's important to let the battery discharge all the way before charging it again, at least for the first few cycles. Amazingly, this manual pointed that out.
The ear piece was, at first, hard to put on, but, duh, I read the manual and am now wearing it with great pleasure and fit...as well as great audio. It even has a volume and mut control on the cord.Anyway...I'd recommend this phone highly. Comes in blue or red...I got the red..different and flashy.

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: Great phone, ridiculous wall mount
Review: This is an excellent telephone. The sound is great, it's easy to program the phone book, and it even has a speakerphone - a must for making calls when you'll be on hold a while.
However, the wall mount is the most utterly stupid thing I've ever seen. The phone is meant to be kept on a counter or desk, sitting upright. All the wall mount does is provide a shelf - one that sticks out about a foot from the wall - to rest this base on. When people want to mount a phone on their wall, they want the thing to rest as flat against the wall as possible - not stick out a foot from the wall!
The other minor ding I'd give the phone is that there is no easy-to-see visual indicator when there have been calls missed. An older Panasonic caller id phone I had used a red light on the base to indicate missed calls. This made it handy when coming into the house to see if anyone had called without actually having to go to the phone. This model requires you to come right up to the phone to see the phone's display to determine if a call was missed.
Most people today put their phones on a horizontal surface, and I'd happily recommend this one for them. For people who want a wall-mounted phone though, there have to be better choices to make.

Summary: this phone is wonderful.
Review: This phone is so helpful. Everything is really clear and simple. If you like to multitask, the speakerphone and the earpiece are a necessity. Im suprised by how loud it gets. I also love the mute button and the look of the vol. control. If you need a new phone, get this one!

Summary: First rate phone
Review: This phone is the highest rated cordless of the 143 that Amazon offers, and for good reason: equipment quality, sound clarity, and low price, offering the advantages of speakphone *and* cordless for less than half the price of similar products!
