Panasonic KX TG5777 - Cordless phone w/ answering system & caller ID - 5.8 GHz + 1 additional handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone to replace my Uniden phone. So my comments are based on my comparison of my Uniden and this phone.
PROS:
1. Long battery life - I have never gotten the "low battery" signal on the handset after talking on the phone for several hours like I constantly got with the Uniden.
2. Mute and redial buttons on the base. On my Uniden model those buttons were hidden in the menus of the base and handset.
3. Clear sounding. I've gotten complaints of static on the Uniden model. I've never had that with this phone.
CONS:
1. No address book display in the base, only in the handset. This is important because if I want to use the speaker phone in the base, I have to either dial the number from my memory (which makes me have to memorize numbers like the old days) or lift the handset and find the number in the address book display the dial it and wait for a connection before I can put the handset back on the base to tallk through the speaker phone from the base. This is a design flaw if you ask me. I wouldn't have bought the phone had I known this before. The Uniden phone had it right. They had an address book display in the base of the unit so you could make a call on the speaker phone from the base by looking up a number in the address book display and press the speakerphone button without picking up the handset.
2. If someone calls while I'm on a call I will get a call waiting signal but I won't get the caller id name in the handset display. The handset will display the words "Missed call". I won't see who called until after the call when I look at the caller id list. This is another very important feature that Uniden got right but Panasonic seemed to miss the target on.
Other than those 2 very important things the phone works ok. However I would not have purchased this phone had I known of the limitation that I have described.
