Summary: AT&T 2.4gig 1455 phone
Review: If it has an AT&T logo on it, don't get it. I have had this phone for about a year. I dealt with the static because this phone wasn't my main one. The problem I have with this phone now; the handset cannot connect with the base unit. I put a new battery in it, and followed everything the manual and what I could find on the web said to do and still it can't connect. Totally useless. I would return it but unfortunately I did not buy it at Target. I got it at the now closed Service Merchandise. This phone now sits in a pile of my other AT&T "goods?".

I do not recommend this phone.

Summary: Poor Sound Quality
Review: The sound quality is horrible. Nothing but echoes and static. The price was very attractive and I thought the name brand carried some credibilty. I was wrong. You get what you pay for. Cheap is cheap! I'm taking it back.

Summary: Nice features....Flawed engineering
Review: This phone comes in several flavors, silver and gold (1460) trim.
My experience is with the 1460. I had all the same problems that were already mentioned. The phone comes with many nice features, but the basic operation is inferior. Range issues with going through just one wall at 10 feet, constant background static, and your own voice is played back too loud and with static, through the ear piece. A similar problem low cost Uniden 2.4G experience. Note, this is not a true 2.4Gig phone, only the base transmits at 2.4GHz, the handset transmits at 900 MHz according to the owner's manual. I returned it and got a Motorola 362 in the same price range. Fewer features, but works well and good sound quality.

Summary: Good Phone
Review: This phone works well. I live in a large apartment complex and have never had problems with picking up other people's conversations or major static interference. The handset was somewhat awkward the first few times I used the phone; the ear piece is a little too flat and the curve of the back of the phone is not quite right. However, after a few uses, I grew accustomed to it and I am quite happy with this phone. The answering machine is easy to use and can store many messages. The answering machine remote access feature is also very convenient.

Summary: Bad Phone
Review: This telephone kept losing it's security code many times on the first day. Converstation from the other party started off just fine but static and other noises increased so bad, we had to cut off conversation and hang up. We took this phone back on the second day after purchase.

Summary: Programming horror show
Review: Very difficult to program; range of reception short. Does allow for turning on and off remotely--an important feature for those who forget.
