Panasonic KX-TG2403B 2.4 GHz DSS Basic Cordless Phone (Black)

Summary: Gets the job done perfectly
Review: Having had two cordless phones that crackled, I bought the no-frills version of this Panasonic model. I am not a user of advanced dialling features, but so far I have found it to be clear for the whole range of my apartment -- about 50 feet max distance with thin sheetrock walls in-between. It feels solid and well-finished, and hasn't yet picked up conversations from other devices in neighboring apartments. I would recommend it for anybody who's looking for a high-quality, no-frills cordless.

Summary: Great, but not so great
Review: While this phone is very clear, and stays charged for quite a long time, I have had nothing but problems with it. For starters, when putting it back on the charger it does not always charge. You have to fiddle with it so it sits in the charger just right. The phone also gets very hot after sitting on the charger, and the numbers tend to stick. This is the second one we have purchased, figuring maybe the first one was just a defect.
