Summary: Don't Judge a Phone by its Looks
Review: I owned this phone. After three months the silver coating all over the phone started to peel and the printing on the face of the phone began to wear off. When I contacted Panasonic, they said this was caused by chemicals from my skin, i.e., makeup. I remarked there was not warning about using the phone while using makeup or having the phone come in touch with my skin. Ultimately, I am getting my full refund.The phone has other problems. Sometimes the screen doesn't work; I would get a message saying it was too far from the base when it was only 6" away; the phone wouldn't work in front of my house when they claim it will work up to a mile away. It's difficult to hold and overall just a pain in the neck to use. It is clear and without interference, but that's a small plus considering all the minuses. Don't buy it!

Summary: Please buy something else
Review: I've used a panasonic phone before I bought this one for 5 years and it still works great. This phone worked for exactly a week and stopped. "Out of Range" was the message - eventhough I was standing right next to the base. So, don't bother to even check out any phones from panasonic in the 2.4 GHZ spectrum.

Summary: Great while it works
Review: The phone provides a number of good features, primarily the extended range which gives great reception with little interference or fading. The hand set is extremely sturdy as the edges are encased in rubber which allows it to bounce back from drops of several feet. The speakerphone provides true duplex with very good quality. Now for the negatives: The microphone on the handheld distorts speech and numberous callers have complained about our muffled voices. The Answering system and phone commnands (such as directory) are complicated and time consuming to set up and difficult to access. I also question the quality of the phone. I used a headset with the phone and after 5 months of use, the connector for the headset started getting intermittent and then stopped working all together. Also, the microphone on the handset now work intermittently. I expect a phone to work for longer than 8 months. I'm going out to buy a new phone today. Definitey; will not be a Panasonic!

Summary: Sad state of affairs:(
Review: Nobody, I repeat, nobody makes decent cordless home phones anymore. Here's just another example - ridiculous interface and control layout, completely weak and [poor] battery life, and a[insufficient] base unit that can't be used in parallel or as a main unit. My old Panasonic 900mhz had twice the battery life. My 10-channel Sony had better ergonomics. The redeeming highlights are: it's updated form factor with grippy elastomer holds, the all-weather ruggedness, the lighted buttons, 2-line display, and I actually like/use the clip once in a while. The actual range is relative to where you live and the surrounding structures - but can't I complain, it's clear a constant. The price is finally falling - so it's reasonable in comparison to other giga-hertz units. If somebody wants to go in on fronting a phone design firm- tell me and I'll consider pro bono work with the junk that's out there.

Summary: high cost/low performance
Review: I believed I was stepping up in product category when I purchased this unit. The manual specifications state battery life at about six hours and have not been able to finish a call longer than two hours without the battery running out and this is within four feet of the base unit. Has no hold feature and I see no difference in reception over my 900hz system.

Summary: Worthless Product
Review: I have owned this product only for it to spend more time in the Panasonic repair center than in my home. After 4 times of being returned to me, the product still doesn't work. Panasonic stated they would replace the phone if I CALL their repair center to get a copy of the repair history. I CALLED the repair center and they stated the only repair record they keep is the last repair. I have spent more money on this phone in shipping and batteries than I did on the actual product... Please avoid Panasonic.

Summary: Don't buy this phone!
Review: Unfortunately, I didn't read these reviews until after I bought this phone. My experience is the same as most of the reviewers. The phone is really bad. It has wonderful features and a great look, but it just doesn't work. After about 5 minutes on the phone I get this buzz that is so loud I can't hear the person I'm talking to. The buzz starts low and gradually gets worse. I've tried moving the base unit, unplugging appliances, messing with the antenna, and switching channels. All to no avail. I don't have a problem with the user interface, but that doesn't matter since the phone doesn't work.

Summary: VERY poor reception
Review: I purchased this phone a little over a year ago and, like other reviewers, as time went on the range dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. I've replaced the batteries multiple times and no luck. The problem appears to be signaling from the base to handset since everyone can hear me clearly but I can't understand a thing they are saying. Because of this problem, the caller ID only works 1/3 of the time (which makes me wonder why I'm paying $10/mo. for the feature). Also, you can't play messages from the answering machine while the handset is in use - very annoying. I got this phone to replace a Sony 900MHz DSS model that kept cooking the batteries. 3 years, two phones, and $400 down the drain. Don't get this phone.

Summary: Major disappointment!
Review: This is easily the coolest phone family on the market today. Great looks, top-notch technology, etc. I purchased this unit (with the TAD) with high hopes and found it to be very very very disappointing. Here's why: 1) The TAD is all digital and the quality stinks. The sound it significantly better from my old tape-based answering machine. I wonder if this is the same for all digital systems.... 2) The interfact is really counter-intuitive. For example, to deleted messages from the unit remotely, you have to hit 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1 (or something like that). The menu only lists one item at a time or "Hit 2 for more options...." Whoever thought of that should be shot. 3) You have to turn on a light to see how many messages you have. What happened to bright displays that glowed in the dark? Again, my old answering machine has this simple nicety. The list goes on.... I'm returning this unit and putting my old tape-based answering machine back in service. Guess I'll have to shop for a new phone, too....
