Rating: Summary: Finally, decent reception Review: I have been looking for a decent cordless phone since my old AT&T 9400 (900 MHz digital spread spectrum) died. That phone sounded just like a corded phone, and I never counted on having problems duplicating that experience. But I did. I tried 900 MHz models, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz of all brands, but there were always too many dead spots and drop outs.The KX-TG5202 (essentially a KX-TG5200 with an extra handset and charger) fixes that problem. The sound quality is as good as I've heard from any current models, and it even sports a "voice enhancement" technology which, if switched on, makes voices sounds more "realistic." In addition, each handset has a speakerphone, which gets high marks from the people I've called on the phone. The phone has a black and white display for Caller ID information, and three "soft buttons" which change function depending on the mode the phone is in. It has all basic functionality you'd expect from a $100+ phone (backlighting, phone books, various ring tones, etc.) It doesn't go overboard, however. There is no voice dialing or voice announcement of callers, for example. All in all, this is a good, solid phone with basic functionality and more than respectable sound quality. If you're not looking for a lot of bells and whistles, you'll love it.

Rating: Summary: Wonderful Phone System Review: I recently upgraded this phone from an older Panasonic system for 2 reasons. One, I don't have enough telephone outlets in my home and this system allows me to use the handset on a standard electrical wall outlet. Two, I have a wireless cable modem that might cause interference with the older 2 GHz system.
This unit is great. It is easy to program. The instructions are simple to follow. There are wonderful features without going overboard to include "the kitchen sink". The sound quality on both ends is excellent. I have ordered another handset today that is compatible with this system which includes a clock and a radio for the nightstand. Hurry, order while this telephone is still available. You will be glad that you did.
Rating: Summary: Nice Features, Easy to Use Review: So far, we really like the phone, although we've been noticing some dropouts. (I'm going to switch voice enhancer off and see if that helps.) It was very easy to setup, and the display and handset are backlit, so very easy to read. Comfortable to hold, and on the ear, so if the dropouts stop ... it'll be a keeper.
I was replacing an AT&T 2.4g that we really liked, so I'm hoping this will be a winner. It's great that it came with (2) handsets.
