price gouging
(5 out of 5) by Wooby on Jun 6, 2009 (VA)Product is great, which is why I'm trying to find an additional one. It is comfortable to hold, has good features, good sound, and great speaker phone. But even AT&T only charges $179 for a brand new one. The seller should be ashamed. This is worse than price gouging!
The phone did not work, I returned it and they refunded my money. they said that they did have another phone
(1 out of 5) by Florene B. Jeffrey on May 17, 2009I notice that you have a phone like I purchased, 275, is a outrages price. I purchse a mew AT&T phone with 4 hand sets for $99.00 AT&T 5800 Series Hand set
Batteries always die early even after replacing twice
(1 out of 5) by Lalakers on Dec 27, 2008 (Bay Area, CA)Don't buy this product. The batteries always die and I've replaced them twice. Now I have it sitting on the charger at all times.
A 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?" ;-{)
