Summary: Terrible quality - don't waste your money!
Review: This phone is not worth the money! For starters, the battery will not hold a charge and the phone gives no warning that the battery will die. In addition, the reception quality is horrible - is constant static. The speakerphone is a nice feature, but it is difficult for people to hear you on it. Stay away from this product.

Summary: Can't hold a charge
Review: This phone would be great IF IT COULD HOLD A CHARGE! But, alas, it can't. After charging for 2 days straight, the most I can get out of this phone is 30 mins of talk time and then it dies without warning! I've contacted customer service and they were useless. They wanted to know everything and anything under the sun before they would even consider looking at the phone. Moreover, they want me to pay to send this junk phone to them! Don;t buy ANYTHING from Panasonic. Period.

Summary: No, No, not again!
Review: Thought my KXTC1850B experience of short battery life and keypads becoming non-functional was isolated to that particular model, but I was wrong. Bought this new model for the speakerphone-in-handset feature and because the keypad switches problem seemed to have been addressed. Well no problem with the switches so far but the battery life, while being fine for 2 months is more pitiful than ever. I'm lucky if I get 40min before needing a 12 hour charge. I have also been told occationally that my voice cuts out totally for short periods. Panasonic now-a-days seems to have no interest in making products that last for any length of time ... guess there's no money in it ... rather get consumers to buy replacement batteries for profit. Thought asian products became superior and took market share because they shunned U.S. corporate philosophy of "planned obsolesence" aka short product lifetimes. Guess it was just long enough to get market share. Has Panasonic been bought by a U.S. Corporation? If not maybe I should think twice before buying a new Toyota!

Summary: Your money is worth more in your pocket than on this phone!!
Review: We were glad to finally purchase a cordless phone that met all of our requirements. Little did we know that it also required more spending. First we thought that we got a faulty battery so we bought a brand new battery only to find out that the battery wasn't the problem. Now, the phone remains on the charger collecting dust. Should have just stuck with my Vtech 900 MHz, I could have saved myself money and a bottle of asprin.
