 Fabulous Dec 30, 2005
By Paul Therault
I've been living with two 2 different Uniden speaker phone models for years since I could not find an acceptable replacement. There may be other phones where you can speak to your party without disconnecting the speaker but I never found one. Also I have been unsuccessful finding a replacement with a long battery life.
The clarity on this Panasonic is perfect. When I speak to my party there is no echo. You can place the phone anywhere in the room and speak to your party. The volume is adjustable therefore I can not understand why some find it a problem. It is so nice to put the phone on your desk and write and talk without putting the phone on your shoulder and ending up with a stiff neck.
The "phone book" is accepable and scrolling is quick. Too bad the list is printed alphabetical. There is no way to change this feature. But this may be fine with some users.
The selection of phone ringer tones is great. There is one that is deafening which is fine for me since it differentiates between other phones in my home and home office.
I find the reception is great with distance not a factor. No noise, no static. Those that experience static must be picking up interference from other sources.
I do not use the answering system feature since there is only 15 minutes of call time and I need much more than that therefore I use a stand-alone unit. I have not tried it therfore I can not report.
This is a value-packed phone and no one should hesitate a purchase.

Works well enough Sep 21, 2005
By Scott Moritz
This phone does a better job getting thru the interference created in the restaurant's kitchen than the unit it replaced (Uniden 5.8). The voice alteration feature is fun for jokes but serves no real purpose. The battery life seems adequate. Unfortunately it does not hold the selection of ring-tones well for some reason and frequently reverts back to the default. (as of yet to determine the cause for this - it is definitely not battery exhaustion tho)
Could also use to have one more level of volume increase - the loudest is not as loud as one would expect.
The speaker-phone works well in a quiet area - much noise around you and it is not loud enough to hear the caller on the other end very well.

Excellent cordless phone Sep 03, 2005
By J. Wing
I am very impressed with this product. Everything from the ease of setting it up to the color of the set. I get outstanding reception from the unit I use on the lower floor of a trilevel, in the past this was not the case with another older cordless model.

My cordless phone nightmare ends. Aug 26, 2005
By Luke A. Cyphert
This cordless phone system is an excellent choice. I have had nothing but bad luck with phones recently. Either they stop working or I get nothing but static. This phone is easy to set up and the sound quality is first rate. I have the second handset on the other side of my house from the base and the reception did not diminish. I also have a 802.11b/g wireless network set up in my home, and neither interferes with the other. Better price here than at Best Buy and Office Depot.

 Let down Aug 16, 2005
By A.Duncan
The last phone we had was the 2.4G Panasonic, it would give us a range to approximately 225yrds, and was great, (lightning ate it). This 5.8 phone will go @ 150yrds with nothing blocking the signal other than a window, and at nineteen yards, through two sheetrock walls (no brick this time), the conversation is incomprehensibly garbled.
When calling home, the output of the mike on the phone, (not speaker phone), is so weak and muffled, that 1/3-1/2 of the conversation is "WHAT? say that again."
Loved the pocket clip that stands the phone off of the shoulder like the old phones did, (a lot less "crick in the neck")
