Motorola MD451 2.4 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Silver)

Summary: Avoid this phone
Review: We have (had) two of these phones (purchased at different times and stores) -- and along with the range and battery life issues mentioned in other reviews, now the keypads on both units have failed. Since the phones are only 3 months old, they are still under warranty -- but save yourself the hassle and frustration and buy a different phone.

Summary: Horrible Phone
Review: When shopping for phones I usually have pretty good luck. This phone appealed to me in the store so I bought it along with an additional handset. It was easy to set up, that's about where its pluses ended. The reception was horrible. The person I was talking to kept fading in and out, and I was right next to the base. Next, the battery life is probably the worst of any cordless phone I've seen since they first came out, and I let it charge for 20 hours before its first use, so I know it was fully charged. I took it back already, Best Buy was very quick to take it back and give a full refund. Avoid this phone, as others have stated, its worthless. I would give it less than 1 star if Amazon allowed it.

Summary: don't buy it - DONT!
Review: yes the battery life isn't great, but what really blows is the keypad - The off and on buttons have failed after 6 months - I can only answer / or call out by pressing the handsfree button on and off, and can only hang up by replacing the handset in the charger. And now the 2 button is failing.... poor, poor engineering. I thought mine was an anomaly, until I read other online reviews with similar problems.
