Great Phone System, Range, and Clarity [Posted on 2006-06-10]
I bought this phone and three expansion handsets about a year ago and couldn't be happier. The phones have the clarity of a corded phone. The built in intercom system is perfect. The phones allow you to "name" the handsets as we did (Kitchen, Basement, Bedroom, etc) so you can page based on location rather than remembering numbers. They have a reliable and effective speakerphone built in, as well as jacks for headset (though the speakerphone seems to make this unnecessary.
One problem with these phones is the batteries. In the year that we have had them, the battery life on all of the phones has degraded severely. Often my wife would be on conference calls for one to two hours, and we would go through all four phones. Leave a phone off the charger and in a day it's useless. The only solution was to replace the batteries (which was significantly cheaper and easier than buying new phones and re-programming all the phone numbers). I recommend the Energizer ER-P240, which is a Nickel-Metal Hydride battery and won't develop the Ni-Cad memory effect.
I love that the base station has a place for 4 AAA batteries so that the system can still be used during a power outage.
Garbage [Posted on 2007-02-22]
We've been through 2 generations of this phone and they suck. Why we gave them a second chance I don't know. The buttons that get used the most stop functioning after about a couple of years. Then it's off to the landfill. I am FED UP with this trend in products to stop working after a limited amount of time. So long Motorola.

This phone works very well. It has many functions/options that make life easier in a busy household. I have not had any trouble yet with the battery life.
Nice to have in the home... [Posted on 2007-05-07]
Unit performs well. Having backup for power is a real bonus. Flexible and personalizable.
Looks cool. Sounds Horrible [Posted on 2007-05-29]
I bought this phone because it looked cool and had the features I wanted. Plus I have had good experience Motorola mobile phones. But that hasn't translated into good cordless phones. Sound on this phone is absolutely terrible. I junked it within a week and bought a Panasonic -Panasonic is way better.
