 a great phone, for the most part. April 4, 2008

Overall a great phone, with a few minor imperfections/annoyances. I did quite a bit of research for a new land-line phone and I'm glad I did this time, rather than just guessing at a store how good or bad one might be. I upgraded from 2.4ghz to DECT and the difference in voice clarity and interference is amazing. I also upgraded from a Motorola phone which in my personal opinion was garbage! To summarize:
PROS:
* DECT is far and away the best standard out there and the voice clarity on this phone is amazing.
* I have yet to experience any interference at all, from TVs, cell phones, radio, microwaves, anything.
* Panasonic quality
* Color screen - you can't change the backgrounds much, but it's cool. Interactive menus are intuitive and easy to learn. The directional key helps you navigate, a bit like a cell phone.
* Nice finish, cool design.
* You can turn the ringer off. Some phones out there don't let you do that. Can you believe that!??!
* Speaker phone, which is pretty loud.
* Battery life is excellent. You can leave it off the charger for 5 days and it's still good to go!
CONS:
* When the unit is on the base charging, the background screen is on ALL the time. Even when the charge is full. So even in the dark, it's lit up. The background only goes into "screensaver" mode when it's not on the charger. Could be annoying if the phone is in your bedroom.
* Only one way to stand phone on charge/base.
* When you use the handset to check your voicemail, it automatically starts in speakerphone mode, which isn't very discreet. Would have been better to start in normal phone mode. Easy to deal with, you just have to hit speaker phone before the messages start.
* I think the default for call screening is that you can hear the person leaving the message out loud, but it can be changed so messages that are being recorded don't have to be heard.
* Honestly, this phone looks pretty but it really isn't that comfortable to hold, at least for any length of time. IT doesn't really fit snugly into the ear, and it doesn't have well-rounded edges. However it is light and you can hold onto it quite easily for a long time.
Excellent Phone February 13, 2008

I would first just like to echo everything Roberto said. I think he nailed it pretty darn well. I just wanted to throw my two cents in with these comments as an addition:
I am EXTREMELY picky about home decor and unobtrusiveness of electronics. This phone is excellent in that manner. It's very attractive and it's not something you're forced to notice in the room. I love that.
The greatest feature for me is being able to check the answering machine with the handset rather than the base. I normally go months without checking my machine simply because I am too busy (or too ADD) to sit at an answering machine for ten minutes. This phone is great because I can listen to messages while I get other stuff done.
The only bad things I have to say about the phone are the lack of wallpapers/colors (something simple would have been great) and the lack of simple ringtones. Everything is very busy and musical. I don't know when phones stopped sounding like phones, but I find that a bit tedious. If I want to listen to music, I'll queue up itunes, you know?
Overall, superfantasticgreat phone.

This phone has the best sound quality of any phone in the house, including my landline! And the sound quality of the voice greeting and the answering system way surpasses ATT Call Notes. It has a brilliant screen, and the features seem very intuitive and easy to figure out (I haven't read the manual). The whole system way surpasses my expectations. Highly recommended.
it works and it's fairly straightforward July 8, 2008

what the title says.
i was away when it arrived, and my girlfriend was able to take it out of the box and set it up, and she has no idea how to turn on the tv, so that means it's pretty good.
also, i like the voice on the outgoing message so much that i haven't put a personalized message on there yet.
ok!
