Most Helpful First | Newest First | + ShareA few quirks but very good overall.
(3 out of 5) by Analytical Thinker on Oct 13, 2007I've had the AT&T 5800 phone system for 3 years now. I bought the additional handset separately and more recently. Overall, the system is very good. The speaker works well and the sound quality is good.
A few dumb design issues however. First, there's one button for ending the call and another to get the dial tone. So if you misdialed a number, you first have to press the end button and then wait a second, then press another button to get dial tone again, and then redial. This is annoying. Second, when you review the call history, you can't just pick a number and dial it. Isn't that the whole point? You have to select it, then decide it you want to dial a 1 first, and so on and so on. I just gave up. I just wrote the number down and dialed it manually. This defeats the whole purpose of number history redial.

Works as advertised
(5 out of 5) by Kevin C. Brown on Sep 26, 2007 (Fountain Hills, AZ USA)Same as original version, worked straight out of the box. It's a replacement/add on, what more can you say when it works? "Come here Watson, I want to see you?" ;-{)
Nice Addition
(5 out of 5) by G. Smith on Jul 3, 2007I added this handset to my cordless telephone system. It works fine and setup was very easy. If you need an addition to your system, I highly recommend it.
