Pricy, but worth it
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 5, 2003I was looking for a good deal on a decent 2.4GHz phone with caller ID but without an answering machine. There are cheaper ones out there for almost the same features as this one, but I've used Panasonic phones before and I've come to trust them a lot. This one certainly has certainly boosted my confidence in Panasonic even more!
Here are the pros of this phone:
1) The quality of the sound is absolutely great, no one would ever know you're using a cordless phone. Even the speakerphone is really good. I use it quite often - it's very handy carrying the phone around with you everywhere and not having to put it by your ear all the time.
2) The range is super (I've tested my unit at least a 100 feet away from the house, and it was crystal clear!).
3) I've had no problems at all with battery life. (I'm just mentioning this based on other reviews I've seen about this phone).
4) The phone has 2 ringer volumes (low and high) and 6 different tunes - this was important to me since I was going to keep the phone in the bedroom and didn't want a loud or annoying ring to wake me up. I ended up choosing a low ringer volume with a nice melodious tune and I simply love it! I don't wake up grumpy anymore when the phone rings and wakes me up!
Here are the cons of this phone:
1) When reviewing the caller ID list, there's no 'CLEAR ALL' - so you have to go through all the calls one by one and clear them as you go along. Although, it does group together the same phone number and just lists that number once and tells you how many times that number called you. For instance if someone called you 16 times from the same phone number, the caller ID list would show that number only once, followed by 'x16'. Still, a 'clear all' would have been nice!

So overall, I think the phone is a little on the expensive side, but certainly worth the money. The speakerphone on the handset and the different ringer tunes are (in my opinion) two of the best features of this phone!

Short Talk!!
(1 out of 5) by Sally on Sep 18, 2002 (Miami, FL)I bought this phone and thought it was just defective due to the short battery time. I replaced it with the same phone and had the same problem. If you don't mind talking on the phone for only 15 to 20 minutes at a time, then this is the phone for you. Great features, just horrible battery life. I would not recommend.

want to buy mine?
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 5, 2003the phone won't hold a charge. you can't ever leave it off the base or it goes dead. Target refused to honor warranty, told me to call Panasonic. The Panasonic Customer service number is always busy, can't get through. what a way to run a business...

Rotten battery life
(1 out of 5) by R. Lanthier on Dec 15, 2002 (Vienna, VA United States)The phone has excellent clarity, range, features, but you can't get past the dreadful battery life. It takes FOREVER to charge and holds the charge for about a half hour of talk time. Ridiculous! This one's going back. Don't waste your time. I have read in many places (NOW!) about poor Panasonic battery life. Come on Panasonic, get with it!
