Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like most of my reviews, I won't focus too much on the same stuff the other reviewers are. Basically, the phone is good, nice. Let me just point out the pros and cons in my humble opinion. I hope Panasonic is reading all this and take note.
Since I am using Panasonic phones for years, I know already their phones well. They are all basically the same, with minor changes at every upgrade - for the better or for the worse...
Pros:
- Definitely the best design and layout for any Panasonic cordless in years
- When charging the phone, an amber lamp indicates that it is charging. It changes to green when charging is complete.
- White (actually light-blue) backlit LCD is much nicer than the older orange lighted.
- Keypad feel is much better than recent Panasonic phones, though still below par of Uniden and others.
- Shows date and time on handset - a first for a Panasonic (since I upgraded last)
- Talking caller ID announces the name THE WAY IT'S STORED in handset #1.
- Has an alarm
- Finally got rid of the annoying and confusing mailbox #1 #2 #3 - Just one mailbox.
- Large indicator for new messages
- No antennas. Neither on the base, nor on the handset.
Cons:
- Keypad NOT BACKLIT on the handset. What were they thinking?
- No LCD on base. All other manufacturers DO have LCD's, which shows caller ID, missed calls, date, day & time, etc,
- Listening to messages using the handset requires you unnecessarily to press MENU, then MESSAGE PLAY, and then SELECT. Also, to see caller ID list, you can't just press a button, as you used to do in older phones, but you must select CALLER ID from the display first.
- No "fast talk" feature on message playback. Panasonic used to have it on their phones about 4-5 years ago, and it was terrific. Too bad.
- The insert for the additional handset is very flimsy, it's very easy to torn it over and drop it to the floor. Older Panasonics used to be much better and sturdier.
- Now a major grip. In this era of cell phones, which features ultra high-resolution LCD, with intuitive menus and nice interface, it's really a shame to see what Panasonic (and most other telephone manufacturers, for that matter) offers. a 1-color, pixelated LCD, with old, dated, pixelated letters. The menu is a pain to use. We would all like to see a MENU/OK button in the middle of the 4-way "launch pad" - similar to most cell phones, cameras, ipods, and other electronics today. The LCD should be bigger (color is not as necessary), much higher resolution. When going into the menu, you should be able to see more than 1 menu at a time - at-least 6 lines. If any of you has a cellphone (who doesn't?) will definitely understand what I'm speaking about. I really hope Panasonic will improve in the near future.

The Phone That TalksWhen a call comes in, this phone doesn't just let you see who's calling, it actually tells you who's calling with Talking Caller ID1,2. Using text-to-speech technology, the caller's name is announced between rings if name/number Caller ID1 information is available.
Can You Repeat That?With SlowTalk message playback, you'll never miss important information again. You can slow down the playback speed of recorded messages by 30 percent at the touch of a button. And with this system's all-digital answering system, those messages will already be crystal clear and easy to retrieve, with up to 18 minutes of recording time.
Voices Come Through Loud and ClearBy simulating a band signal above and below the normal bandwidth limitations, Voice Enhancer Technology helps clarify and improve sound reception creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand.
Turn the Ringer Off... Don't miss important calls when the ringer is off. The Light-Up Indicator at the base of the antenna will flash quickly to show that you have an incoming call, and it will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message. You can also choose up to three different light-up indicator colors to link to your pre-programmed phonebook data. Light-Up ID1,4 requires corresponding Caller ID information to be received from an incoming call.
...Or Keep the Ringer OnWith Ringer ID1, you can choose from a downloaded or selectable ringer to link to your pre-programmed phonebook data, which also requires corresponding Caller ID information to be received from an incoming call.
Let the Kids Join the ConversationWith a Digital Duplex Speakerphone on the back of each handset, you can enjoy convenient, high-quality, hands-free conversations from any room in the house. So let the kids join in on the conversation with Grandma and Grandpa, or paint your nails while you chat with your best friend.
