Summary: Beware! Only lasts one year!
Review: Ok, I have no idea how Panasonic managed to make a phone that only lasts exactly one year, but they did. The speakerphone ... out on mine. I could hear fine on my end, but other people complained of hearing loud buzzing on their end.

I'll admit for the one year I had it it was a good phone for me. Everything worked as it should. I had a bit of trouble with the intercom function. If one person talked, the microphone on the other end shut off and vice versa. It means that two people can't talk at the same time. Like a walkie-talkie for instance. Why can't they make it work like a regular phone where you can talk normal? Is that asking too much?

DON'T GET!.

Summary: Battery [Bummer]
Review: I called Panasonic because my talk time has been reduced to ~30-45 minutes (manual states 3.5-4.5 hours). They told me that by replacing the phone onto base station after every call will reduce the life of the battery. Nowhere does it state this in the manual and I find it crazy that you cannot place your handset onto the base station before completely running down the battery. This is a very poorly engineered feature and possibly a marketing [ploy] to get you to buy more batteries. FYI batteries are not covered under the warranty.

Summary: Panasonic Makes Me Sad
Review: For years -- nay, DECADES -- I would religiously recommend ANY Panasonic product to anyone and everybody. And so, when I bought my first Panasonic phone, and bad things started happening right from the start, I foolishly chalked it up to its being a lemon, and ate the cost. Then I bought my SECOND Panasonic phone (WHY? Why?! WHY?!?!), and two days after I charged it up for the first time, I began having problems galore. Incoming messages were cut off......... incoming messages weren't even recorded at all......... I'd be conversing with someone, and be disconnected....... I'd pick up the phone to dial, and the phone would go DEAD. Now, because I cannot afford to replace the damn thing, I'm stuck with it. SOMETIMES it records messages (but usually cuts them off), but never, EVER am I able to DIAL the damn thing! By the time the phone's rung just once, DEAD AIR. Most of the time, I hit the TALK button to begin dialing, and I'm cut off, and the phone goes dead for hours and hours and hours. I am SO incredibly exasperated, and because I can't get out of my SMALL home very much -- or easily -- I decided not to try to exchange and/or just plain RETURN the thing at Best Buy, because they charge a 15% restocking fee, now, even when the fault is CLEARLY the manufacturer's. I have made calls to Panasonic, but gotten a recorded message, and never a live person (much less a dead one, like my phone), and I have never received a response to e-mails. I have to say this: never, EVER buy anything made by Panasonic -- isn't that SAD?!

Summary: hate this phone!
Review: this phone doesn't have a mute button for the speaker phone. when i call people with the headset or speaker phone they think I'm on a bad cell connection. the battery life is very poor.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Started great, only lasted 1 year
Review: This phone started out great, no problems, good sound, nice feel, reasonably simple to use. After a couple months, the caller ID features started to only work on occasion. I contacted Panasonic and got nowhere trying to resolve the issue. As the months went on it started to get worse. Now after a year the phone sound is still fine, battery life is getting worse, the caller ID function is simply not working at all ("incoming call" to everything no ID) and the answering machine speaker is now shot. Can't really make out much of anything unless you turn up the volume to maximum and then just barely. I have now replaced this phone and not with a Panasonic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Phone
Review: Great clarity, sound volume, battery life, range of use, no interference from anything, and plenty of memory features(especially with caller i.d.). The battery has more life, much more life than any 900 mghz phone I've ever owned. Some people must not understand the concept of charging a battery.
After buying this phone you won't want any other.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone all around
Review: I have had really good luck with this phone and I have been using it for a long time. None of the battery life problems that some of the other reviews have mentioned. If I had it to do over again, I WOULD buy this phone again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Useless, battery FATAL fault
Review: This phone could be useful if Panasonic had thought first of putting a GOOD battery, not the piece of junk those people installed on it. Won't hold charge for more than 20 minutes of conversation, leave it standby out the charger, and the battery WILL be dead after 3 hours, 4 tops.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worked for about a year...
Review: The phone worked wonderfully for about a year, now the phone is having trouble making contact with the base unit, I called Panasonic and what they have me do every few weeks to get the phone to work again is a big hassel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time & $$'s
Review: I have owned this phone for a little over one year. It is in a box in the attic!! I finally had enough. This is the worst phone. It all started out good & went to bad after a few months. Please read the problems in past reviews. I have had them all.
