Summary: Buyer beware
Review: If you purchase this product, I hope you are completely satisfied. It is my opinion that the reliability of Panasonic products has slipped in recent years, and this was confirmed to me when a product I purchased quickly failed. The reason I'm posting this is to warn you that the warranty that accompanies Panasonic products only has value if the company chooses to stand behind it. In my case, they weaseled out of it, leaving me with a total loss and no further recourse. Good luck with your decision.

Summary: Take Note!
Review: Some good things to know before buying:
1. The talking caller ID doesn't 'play" until after the 2nd ring. By that time, if you realize you want to pick up the call, you have very little time before the answering machine or voicemail picks up. It also announces the calls as they are displayed on CID (i.e. you have a call from "Smith John". Why couldn't the software reverse the last and first names!? Very annoying
2. Voice enhancing feature is useless. The calls sound worse, ambient noise is amplified.
3. 90% of my calls sounded great but 10% of the time I did experience a signficant echo. This was enough for me to return the phone.
4. You cannot use the base keypad while speaking on handset (unlike other Panasonic models)

Summary: No Good for Me...
Review: This phone had horrible sound quality. You sound like you are in an echo chamber when you speak into it and you don't sound so good on the other end either so I am told. I returned mine within a few days.

Summary: Bad phone - little help from Panasonic
Review: While using this phone it will cut out for about 5 seconds while it switches to another security code. During this time you cannot hear the other person on the line and they have to repeat what they said. This happens every time I use the phone. I called Panasonic and they said to send it in (I pay the shipping cost) and they will replace it with a "reconditioned" phone. The phone is about a month old.
