I purchased this phone along with a second handset. What a tremendous improvement over my two-year-old Motorola system. The Motorola was 2.8 so it's difficult to compare, but it simply was never comfortable to the ear, battery life was limited, it didn't have much of a range and the construction simply fell apart.
This new AT&T system is nearly perfect. I especially like the fact that you can enter your complete address book on the base system and all of that info carries over to the handset(s)! It's also is exceptionally comfort-fitting to the ear, easy to operate, and has a tremendous range. If I have any single complaint it is that there is no speed-dial; locating a phone number takes several key strokes and then yet another to dial the number. But that is a minor concern. In total, I highly recommend this product! No option for 4.5, but that's my rating.

We purchased this phone about 5 years or so ago and have been very pleased with it. It consisted of the base unit plus three cordless extension phones. One of the extension phones died within a year and was replaced under warranty. After about three years or so, the LCD screens started to fail -- only parts of the characters were displayed. This failure began about the same time on all of the phones -- so I would guess that the LCD screen components have a fairly limited life. After limping along for a couple of years with difficulty of trying to read the malformed caller id and phonebook letters and names, we replaced the system. If it wasn't for the failure of the LCD screens, I imagine that we would have continued to use it for many more years.
