Summary: Disappointing
Review: A big disappointment for me. No where close to my old panasonic which lasted several years. Bad echo when talking, computer caller id which is totally incomprehensible, low volume. I have had it for 1 week but have decided to return it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I like Panasonic, but not this model
Review: I can't recommend this phone. (1) There is a hissing noise in the ear piece. (2) Several people claimed my voice sounded muffled (as if I had my hands were cupped over the mouthpiece). (3) The Talking Caller ID was nearly impossible to understand since the computer voice mispronounced virtually every name.

Summary: Don't buy any Panasonic products anymore.
Review: I used to think that Panasonic products meant quality. However after buying this phone, I am very disappointed with the quality control at Panasonic. The unit looks okay but after I charged the battery and tried to set the base unit, the handset failed to communicate with the base. It kept giving the same error "No link to base. Place on cradle and try again." again and again. The manual says to go near the base, raise the antenna etc. I was trying the setup with both the units practically next to each other. Panasonic support was the worst. They couldn't help at all and wanted to insist that the unit was fully functional and it seemed like I was doing something wrong. Since the unit was purchased more than 30 days ago, I had no option other than to scrap it and purchased a Uniden phone.

Summary: Useless
Review: I was extremely dissapointed with this phone, especially since Panasonic have (or had, as my opinion now stands) such a great reputation when it comes to cordless phones. I exchanged my first phone for a replacement and still had the same problem: extremely low outgoing voice volume. People I spoke too had a lot of trouble hearing me speak, almost like I was holding the phone at a distance or cupping my hand over my mouth. While everything else about the phone seemed okay (nothing you wouldn't expect from a basic phone/ answering system), this one problem meant the phone was virtually useless.

Summary: Awesome Phone!
Review: I would recommend this phone to anyone! All my friends that I've talked to have thought that the sounds was fantastic--even when I was using it on the speakerphone and when I used my headset microphone.

To those who had trouble with the voice reception, I have a recommendation: try changing the phone's channel or the channel that your other electronics run on (like wireless internet). All the electronic communication stuff I've had comes set on default to broadcast on Channel 6. However, there are 13 channels available to choose from. My phone would actually overpower my internet connection, so I just changed the router to transmit on Channel 1; and no more troubles.

I also like the voice enhancing feature. Basically, it broadcasts above and below the normal frequencies that calls are carried on. I haven't been in the type of situation where it has made a substantial difference, but I would imagine that dorm and close apartment dwellers could really benefit from this. When I used it, my friend said it made me sound like I was right in the room--the call was long distance to his cell phone.

The features are fantastic: my favorite part is the speakerphone-handset feature. Just hold the phone in your hand, click speaker, and you can talk while you set the phone down on your coffee table or while you move around. No more cricks in my neck.

I got the Panasonic KX-TCA60 headset microphone to complement this phone; and it works great! No one can tell whether I use the speakerphone, the headset, or just pick up the phone like normal.

The talking caller ID is nice; but you may find it disturbing if you like midday naps (of course, it could also be a benefit--you don't even have to open your eyes to see who's calling). You can easily turn it off and on because the phone has a user-friendly menu: much like a cell phone.

Plus, the rings available are multi-tonal (like the newest cell phones). It doesn't really enhance the phone's performance, but I really like it! I also love the sleek design--but of course I hadn't had a new phone in 3 years.

I have only had the phone for a month; but it seems reasonably durable. I also can't speak to the answering machine--I already had one programmed, so I haven't gotten around to using this one. I just adore this phone because as a born multi-tasker, I love walking around, cooking, cleaning, sometimes even working out while getting in some conversation. It's been a life-changer on the scale of a VCR for me!

Summary: Worth every penny
Review: I've owned this phone for just over a week and I love it. The talking caller ID rocks (talks in a computer voice) and it plays from both the handset and the base so we can always hear it. The speakerphone option on the handset is nice too when I'm in the kitchen cooking and can't hold on to the phone. The phone is very user friendly and calling in for messages is a breeze too. No need to remember what number to press to play your messages, it guides you through it. I had a great Panasonic phone many years ago and have no idea why I waited so long to go back! Thanks Panasonic.

Summary: pretty good
Review: This phone has a lot of neat features. The talking caller id has relieved me of feeling like I need to run and check the caller id everytime the phone rings. The sound isn't the best, but for us it isn't untolerable.
