Summary: save your money
Review: The first one I bought stopped working completely in a day or 2. Got an exchange. After about 6 months it started failing. The voice gets fuzzy after about 5 or 10 minutes of use. It's useless now. A waste of money.

Summary: Panasonic phone
Review: The phone is good in 2.4 ghz but it switchs back to 900 mhz sometimes, so it is not that much better than a normal 900 mhz phone.

Summary: Nice features but short on distance.
Review: This phone has a nice form factor; contoured to fit your face and hand. Rubber bumpers on the rounded corners make it fairly durable. Headphone jack is handy too. BUT... for all the hype (GigaRange Extreme!) it can't keep up with the two 900 MHz DSS phones I tested it against. With their base stations placed in exactly the same spot, both the Sony SPP-SS965 900 MHz Digital Spread Spectrum and a 3 year old Escort CT 9701 Digital Spread Spectrum both outperformed the Panasonic in terms of useable distance by approx 180 - 200% in diameter. I even tested two samples of the Panasonic to make sure I didn't have a defective unit. The Panasonic is great for running around the house or a small yard, but don't expect to roam around the neighborhood and stay connected. If that's your goal, buy the Sony.

Summary: Excellent sound quality, good battery life, great range.
Review: This phone has one of the best sound quality that I have heard on a cordless phone (and I have had many, including 900 analog and 900 dss types). It really minimizes static and other disruptions well. It does have great range as well, although it is not as good as the panasonic promotional material makes it sound. One thing that is often overlooked is that this phone is one of the few that uses the NiMH batteries instead of the old NiCd ones. This is a great improvement, as we all know how annoying it is to run out of juice in the middle of conversation. One minor con: the "talk" button on this phone is surprisingly small. You do get used to it, but you wonder, what was Panasonic thinking? Definitely get the headset for this phone. It is too cool and practical to not spend the extra $10-$20 for it. Might I recommend the Plantronic M110? I have the $10 ATT and it pinches my ear.
