1.0 out of 5 stars Cannot Recommend This Telephone, March 15, 2007

I've had this telephone only a couple of months and wish the return period hadn't passed. First problem was that the Caller ID has stopped functioning ... now it always shows "Private Caller" even though the caller's ID displays perfectly well on a regular caller id device and on my other caller ID telephone. Soon after that failure, the volume in the headset speaker reduced itself to point where I cannot use this telephone for a normal conversation. People can hear me fine, but I can barely hear them. There's a volume control, but on my unit it doesn't affect the volume .. it just fills in little blocks on a bar graph on the display; I can do that and enjoy it more with an Etch-a-Sketch. True, this phone was cheap. Sadly, it performs like the cheapie it is.

I agree with the earlier reviewer who mentioned the lack of a backlit display -- this phone's display is impossible to read unless a bright light is shining right on it. I'd add that the handset comes with a very short cord and the phone is not weighted at all. This telephone will travel all over your table or desk like a Traveocity gnome unless you equip it with an adequately long handset cord.

I'd suggest spending a few dollars more for a quality caller id / address book phone with illuminated display. Panasonic makes some great telephones; this is absolutely not one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars 50 Name Phone Book, February 14, 2007

Thanks to the reviewer who put the 50 name phone book in their review. It was not listed above in the product description and it was the main reason that I bought this phone. We had a really old phone that we became dependent on because of the fact that it held a lot of phone numbers. It finally wore out and we were looking for another. This phone is still new but we really like it so far. Good sound. Holds phone numbers. Sizable buttons. Very reasonably easy programming although I will keep the instruction book so I don't forget how to get the numbers into the phone book. Yes, I think "anybody" can get the numbers in -- maybe about three buttons or so to push to enter the name & number. Printed instructions are easy to follow.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but could be better, September 19, 2007

All works as advertised, but LCD is not backlit and is exceptionally difficult to read under any conditions other than perfect. Probably a deal-breaker if I'd known about this problem.
