Piece of Junk [Posted on 2004-03-17] I bought this phone a year ago and I end up changing the battery already once. The battery was discharging so fast and recently I stopped using the handset completely. Eventhough I charge it whole night, it is not getting charged. The warranty service is also very bad. Fortunately I bought this phone using my Visa Platinum and they covered the full price. Thanks to Visa.
Best cordless I have owned [Posted on 2004-03-21] I have owned this phone for more than a year and it is the best cordless I have owned. The audio quality and volume are great. The user interface is intuitive.
Virtually indestructible - Also waterproof and shockproof [Posted on 2005-01-29] This is a ruggedized phone, with bits of rubber bumpers and sealed electronics. Not sure why they don't mention this key feature, maybe people complained it is not waterproof enough. But you can use the headset in the shower, rinse it under water, drop it on the floor, etc. With "normal" use, it is virtually indestructible. With heavy use, expect to replace the battery about once a year.
Keypad problem [Posted on 2005-03-07] Had the phone for less than a year and the #1 button on the keypad now has problems accepting the finger press. I have to push down really hard and as a result will dial two 1's.
Good Sound quality. Buttons go bad [Posted on 2005-08-27] I do like this phone when I am talking on it. Of course I am
getting a "expandable phone system" to replace this unit. I have
used this phone for several years.
Pros:
1. Good sound quality. Seems to be something Panasonic does well.
2. Good range. 2.4 GHz will interfere with wireless networks.
3. Durable outside construction.
Cons:
1. Buttons 2,5,6,8,9 require pushing very hard to work.
2. The LCD on the base unit always was unreadable but now is
failing.
3. Base unit is not very smart, must use the handset to set the
time!
