Summary: Needs a new design...
Review: After having a Sony phone for 7 years, it recently died on me. It ws a great phone that never gave me any problems until the end. It was difficult to go out and shop for a new phone. I was convinced by a sales person and a friend of mine that this Panasonic phone could take the place of my reliable Sony. IT DOESN'T! 1) The phone has a call waiting button below the caller ID display which is located on the back of the handset. If you are moving around and lean on the phone, it cuts you off and brings you to the other line. I have lost many a call this way. 2) I did as the instructions said charged the phone for the listed time. The battery keeps running low on me and telling me to re-charge the handset. This can be annoying when you are in the middle of a conversation and you have charged the phone all day! While others may have had a pleasent experiance with this product, I haven't and I can only speak for myself...

Summary: Wife hates phone
Review: Ditto other poor reviews. Worst problems with phone is that you can't hold phone between cheek and shoulder or it will terminate phone call. Wife wants to throw it out. Also battery life miserable...keeps telling me it needs to be charged after receiving a full charge even though it has a new battery. Otherwise has some good features.

Summary: Don't buy this phone
Review: I agree with the comment of hitting the on/off button when talking. This phone also does not hold a charge for very long. I could live with these faults but not the one I'm experiencing now. The phone will not charge at all. I'm about a month out of the warranty and this phone will not charge when put on the base. The battery is almost dead and I'm going to have to throw the phone away. Useless. I would not recommend this phone.

Summary: If I could give this LESS than 1 star, I would!
Review: I can relate to everything the other reviewer said! I've had exactly the same problems with this phone. If you talk with the phone too close to your cheek, it presses against the on/off button and you lose the call. I've lost several calls that way and by accidently pressing the buttons on the caller ID side of the phone (the back). I also had problems with the phone not keeping its charge. I thought the phone was defective and returned it. Had the very same problem with the second one. The longest I've been able to talk without recharging it is 1-1/2 hrs. Called Panasonic and they said I hadn't set the phone up properly so the base would recognize the handset. Reset the phone per their instructions and had the same problem again. I'm about to replace this phone and throw it in the trash where it belongs! Because of this experience, I'll NEVER buy another Panasonic telephone!!! I'd discourage anyone wanting to buy this phone. It looks like a good deal, but it's not. I bought it on sale, too. Now I know why!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love this phone!
Review: I really love this phone. I've had it for a few years and have never had any problems with it. No lost calls, no charging problems, nothing. This phone works great.

Summary: Don't buy this phone
Review: I've read the two prior reviews for this product and decided to write this review simply to let folks know that I've had this product for about 6 months now and it works beautifully. I enjoy the caller ID functionality, the capacity to store 50 speed dials, the instant voice mail access, and the quick charge. I agree with the editorial review that the product works best around 60 feet from the docking station but that works just fine for me in my house. I've dropped the phone pretty regularly and it is quite durable as well. In my book, it's a good phone at a good price and I'd buy it again.
