Summary: Great Basic 2.4GHz Phone
Review: After a lot of looking and many returned phones, I settled on this Motorola. It has all of the features most people need in a cordless, in a very compact and stylish form factor. It is also about the only normal looking phone on the market which discretely fits into your room, unlike all the wannabe Star Trek communcators out there...Pros:
-Form factor: Small and unobtrusive
-Good range and very clear reception
-Effective and easy to use caller ID features
-Very handy volume buttons on the side of the handset with several settings
-Great battery life
-Price Cons: (mostly minor annoyances)
-Display is small and sometimes hard to read (although it is backlit)
-Message waiting indicator on base (for voicemail) does not work
-Some interference with my WiFi base station (although only when they are very close)
-Hard to hold against your ear with your shoulder

Summary: Didn't work out of the box!
Review: After having this phone for about a year and a half, I like it enough to keep it. The volume is plenty loud, reception is pretty good and battery life is acceptable. But the most dumb problem which is a design error, is you can hear your own voice through the ear piece. This should not be. If you have any other phone, you will see that you can not hear your own voice through the ear piece and if you do, it's very minimal. But on this phone you hear it as loud as if not louder then the person you are talking to. And unless you're in a hollywood movie where you say your line and then the other person says there line, you'll be battling for phone supremacy with your own voice.

Summary: Simple, solid phone for the price
Review: After reading tons of reviews for cheap 2.4GHz phones, I stumbled across a few recommendations for this product. I have to admit -- for a ($)phone, it's more than I expected. The handset is very solid and comfortable, and it sports rubber grips on the sides -- why, I don't know, but I'm sure it'll become apparent soon :) The sound quality is superb, except for a slight annoyance -- sometimes, your voice funnels back to the earpiece and it can get pretty loud. I only noticed this during my first call -- after that, it was a non-issue. Perhaps it was due to a low-battery, since I hadn't fully charged it before I made my first call. The phone has all the basic features of a caller ID cordless phone, and they all work as expected, so I won't elaborate on that. Most people are just concerned about sound quality, and the sound quality on this phone is great. It's also very stylish in a very understated way -- there aren't tons of buttons, lights, and garish colors on this thing, but I like that and it was a factor in my purchasing decision. Probably the only BAD thing about this phone is the ring volume isn't as loud as I like. I live in a small apartment, so it's not such a big deal, but to some it may be. You have a choice of three ring tones, and the loudest one is the most annoying, sadly enough. If the only drawback to a ($) phone is its ring volume, then I think we have a winner.

Summary: Great no-nonsense caller-ID 2.4Ghz cordless
Review: Been happy with this phone for a couple of months now; particularly like the rubber edges that provide a nice, solid grip on the phone. The simple shape and the nice weight makes the phone feel sturdy. As others have commented, it looks less star-trekky than a lot of other phones out there - a real plus. The answering machine is easy to figure out and does the job nicely; caller-ID seems reliable enough. Only complaint is the ringer on/off button that has been placed exactly where you're most likely to get switched off by accident - most other 2.4Ghz' I've tried had the button in the exact same place, so Motorola's not the only vendor failing here. Oh, and the cover for the battery compartment pops off every so often unless you use strong language and/or brute force to keep it in place. Even though this thing has a built-in answering machine, the footprint is reasonably small. A real plus is the nicely executed wall-mount that takes the phone off your table. I would have liked to have seen intercom or additional handset options with this phone, but even without, it's the best thing i could find on the market at any price.

Summary: Good phone
Review: First, 900mhz reception frequently better than 2.4 or 5.8. Not the phone necessarily. Voicemail light only works if phone company supports it, not all do. Ok, the phone. I like it enough to have just bought another for my daughter. There are some annoyances (the caller id IS odd at first, and is a little slow) but just about nothing I buy is perfect. I'll forgive it's weaknesses. It's durable, built like a tank (and about as heavy). Voice clarity is good as is distance. I drop stuff a lot, and the rubber grips are great for me. The display numbers are a bit small and the backlight could be backlightier, but I manage. Very comfortable to hold and no not great on shoulder. But has a belt clip and takes a standard headset, so if you talk long time... Great price for what you get. If you want fancy, get something else. This is a good, pretty basic cordless so if that's what you want you could do a lot worse, and not much better.

Summary: Returned it after a month
Review: For a 2.4 GHz phone, the range was horrible. I got much better reception with my old 900 MHz. Also, it would be nice if the channels automatically changed when needed, since the reception was so bad (you had to change often). The caller ID was also weird in that if you picked up the phone and missed the call, that number wouldn't be in the caller ID. Overall, we were surprisingly very unhappy with the phone, and just returned it.

Review: I bought the MA351 to replace a dying 10 year old Panasonic 900 mhz phone. I've had it for several weeks and am so far very happy with it. It does not interfere with my WiFi network, even though it is only a few feet from the router. There was an annoying echo in the phone the first time I used it, but that mysteriously went away after the first call and hasn't returned. People I've called tell me the sound quality is much better than my old Panasonic (may it rest in peace!). I also like the feel of the rubber grips on the handset. I gave it 5 stars for value, having pucrhased it for $30 on sale.

Summary: Four months of static and then nothing...
Review: I got about four months of life out of this phone. There was consistently static and then the phone started to die mid conversation. I bought a new battery, which didn't fix the problem. Now I get about 10 seconds tops before the phone cuts out (but doesn't die, so I know it's not the battery).

Summary: Good looking phone that executes most features well.
Review: I had been looking for a 2.4GHz phone for a while. I wanted a great color-matched home/office phone with good reception, Caller ID, backlit LCD and buttons, and not on the heavy side. The phone also needed to be friendly to my WIFI / 802.11b wireless network. This phone matched my requirements. Pros
* color-blended well with my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver computer, and black TV -- should look great with any silver-grey/black setup
* green backlit LCD and buttons
* good voice quality and reception
* no interference with WIFI / 802.11b wireless network -- including the Mac airport
* belt-clip and ear piece socket for hands free use Cons
* ringer button is on/off only -- and the ringer is loud
* function buttons are tricky to use and a bit small -- for example, the caller ID history button sometimes needs to be pressed several times for it to work
* straight shape is not very comfortable to hold against ear Still, a great cordless phone in this price range.

Summary: TERRIBLE!
Review: I have owned many cordless phones. When I purchased this phone, I figured Motorola was a safe brand to choose. Who knows phones like Motorola right? WRONG! Broke within a week of normal use. BEWARE!
