Panasonic KX-TG2451S 2.4 GHz Cordless Telephone

Summary: Hard to Use + Poor Sound Quality
Review: Bought this phone, charged it up and instantly noticed problems with the sound quality. Sound cut in and out frequently and it was hard to carry on a conversation. If the other end is another 2.4 system or a cell phone, the callee typically has a real hard time following the conversation. Also, this phone is hard to use which is apparently a typical problem with these new phones. I also really missed the 10 number speed dial. After fully charged I also found the handset very warm, almost too warm to handle. The keys are also very easy to accidently push which can cause problems if you are on the phone talking to someone. Yuck! Returned this one. I've experienced similar problems with other 2.4GHz phones, so this may be problematic for these new phones. I will probably go back to the less trendy but more reliable 900MHz phone line.

Summary: A good phone
Review: This seems to be a very well-made phone. The reception is very clear. However, there is no speed-dialing. There is a directory to program up to 50 names alphabetically but you have to search the directory for the name and number then dial it. You cannot just program and assign 1 number to dial a number for you. I miss the speed dialing option, but being able to have a 50 name phone book built in is a nice feature.
