Summary: MA361 Excellent
Review: After sampling quite a few cordless phones in the $50-100 range, I was disappointed with them all in terms of sound or answer machine quality, 900 MHZ or 2.4 GHZ. MA361 is a pleasent surprise and comes way at the top in qualify in my opinion. It is well designed and engineered, and simple to set up and use. It is a Best Value.

Summary: Finally a phone that passed my test
Review: After trying several brands that turned out to be below average, I finally found the motorola to be the best. The volume, clarity and simplicity far surpasses its competition. I am 100 % satifised with this phone and my teen age daughter who spends most of her life on the phone gave it a thumbs up.

Summary: Horrible phone system
Review: Answering system RANDOMLY answers phone calls. Motorola won't fix it, horrible customer service. Now phone ringer is barely audible. I'm ready to throw this system into the garbage!

Summary: Not bad but there is better
Review: At the time of purchase (nearly a year ago), it seemed like the prudent choice. The hand set feels balanced and well shaped and the grippable sides are a big plus. A major caveat is that there is no toll-saver feature for the answering machine. Nor fast forward or rewind. You can only skip or repeat the entire message. As for the headset, there is a volume control, but the other party hears a break in the signal as the volume is being switched. A not-so-minor thing on a business call. Also the switch to turn off the ringer is difficult to work. It seems jammed on the case or something. I've had the phone for almost a year and just recently the head-set jack has failed (I tried a couple of different head-sets). Over-all a less than satisfactory experience.

Summary: Could Be Better
Review: Being given the ability to access the answering machine from the handset makes this design a nice idea, and the sound quality from the handset isn't bad, but that is the extent of my praise.I do not care for the answering machine as it has very limited features; no fast forward, rewind, etc. The quality of sound is very poor, and most of my messages are not clear enough to be understood. The worst problem I've had is the phone's battery "dies" all too often! I've had the phone in the base for 48 hours, and after a 5 minute phone call it will give a low battery warning, and soon die out. I've not been satisfied with this phone, and after two months of use am looking for a replacement. Save your money and look for something else!

Summary: Disappointed
Review: Disappointed! My spouse has a broken ankle so main reason I ordered this model was for remote answer function and wall mount capability. Remote answer works fine but the package did not include wall mount. There was a paper insert that said call a toll free number for wall mount. I did two months ago still no wall mount. I would not recommend this phone.

Summary: It was OK while it lasted
Review: Eventually buttons, especially 1 & 2, stopped working. You had to really press it to dial it. I would recommend the product to someone who changes phones every 3 month.

Summary: so very torn...
Review: first and most important!!! this' the only phone i can find on the market today which has message retrieval via the handset. BIIIIIIIG plus as with an almost 4-month old son, i've got to maximize every second of the day. and i do like the rubber side grips also. altho' the smell of 'ems a bit much at first. and that's about all that's good. i agree with other reviews as to the comfort zone with this phone on your ear. hard to find no matter where you place it. sound quality's a bit quirky too. room sound echos/tinny in earpiece. also experience slight static, but overall reception's ok. (prior to this, i owned a 900 mhz vtech and NEVER had static) however, my biggest complaint's with the caller id failure/malfunction in that numbers have: 1) not registered at all as the call came in (display listed "Caller ID error") altho it shows the number after the call's completed; 2) disappeared from memory; 3) got jumbled with sequence in memory. and i've not owned this for even a full week... (never had a problem with the vtech in this area either.) but i'm still sold on the handset retrieval... if only vtech had this function!

Summary: Great Phone
Review: I am very impressed by what I received in this package. The sound quality and reception is very good. I live in a dorm with cinder-block walls and I am able to walk around on the floor without a problem. Battery life is awesome. I tried keeping it off the hook for about 4 or 5 days to see if it'd actually last as long as Motorola claims. Even with use, it lasted atleast 4 days. I forgot how long it was exactly, atleast 4. Very simple. I didn't even need to read the instructions to record a message, set the day time, and add presets with Names. The only thing that annoyed me is that once the phone is picked up, the answering machine stops. That means I either have to write down numbers or try to remember them in order to call people back. I love the appearance of this phone. It's pretty slick. Overall, A great phone, much better than I asked for.
