Being a Sony fan, I was really excited about what looked to be a great phone at a great price! Sony really let me down w/ this one, I just purchased this phone, disappointment soon followed. It started off great (for the first 5 hours of usage)...Now I can rarely use this phone as it ALWAYS shows "Scanning Channel"- When that shows in the display, the phone is completely useless both w/ incoming and outgoing calls. I have owned this phone for less than 48 hours--tonight it is going back from where it came. Save yourself some time & money--don't buy this model!

I have had this Sony 900 MHz phone for a little over a year now and have gotten nothing but great service from it. Having the caller ID on the handset is a wonderful feature. I can see whoever is calling from anywhere in my home. The power of the digital 900 MHz is impresive. I can hear the caller on the other end loud and clear from any part of my home, even outside on the porch or sitting on the tail gate of my pick up. Another great feature is the seemingly tireless battery. After more than a year of heavy use the battery still keeps charging, now thats great value. If you are in the market for a great cordless phone, dont be a cheap O, treat yourself to this Sony Digital 900 MHz for a fantastic cordless phone.

I really like this phone. It has a very clear signal, no static at all. It changes channels automatically, and the battery lasts for days. I really recommend this phone.

This is the first cordless phone I have had, where I have had no interference trouble. Other cordless phones I have tried in my apartment consistently disconnected me in mid-conversation. I hear great on this phone (I am hard of hearing) no matter where in the apartment I roam. I hear great on the terrace, which was impossible with other cordless phones I have had. The volume control is a great convenience. My only complaint with this cordless phone is it is somewhat pesky to clear the caller ID list. There are three steps involved. This is my only disappointment. As far as cordless phones go, this is definitely the best one I have had.

I've owned at least 7 cordless phones, one costing more that [$$], and this has been the best. Easy operation, good feel in the hand and on the ear and totally reliable. I wouldn't be replacing the one I've had for nearly three years but I'm losing custody of it in the divorce. I like the phone so much it's the first thing I'm replacing. That's how good it is.

This is the very best phone that we have ever had! There are so many features and they are very easy to use. In fact, we like our Sony phone so much that we bought two more for gifts and another one for ourselves with the answering machine. We have had it for about one year and still say over and over, "I love this phone!" We highly recommend it! Thank you, Terri

When this phone works, it's fabulous. It allows me to store dozens of phone numbers, any of which it can call with a simple press of the jog dial. It looks good, and provides caller identification. Unfortunately, this phone doesn't work about 30% of the time. All too often, when I pick up the handset to make a call, the screen reads ' CONNECTING' and the phone is dead. Also, sometimes the names and telephone numbers will become go from being represented on the screen by letters and digits to unreadable symbols. All very strange. Thank goodness I have 2 other telphones in my apartment.

I am surprised to read the other reviewers complaints about this phone. I've had this phone for over a year and have never had any problem. This phone is clear, never any static. The greatest feature is that it has a directory where you can store names and phone numbers. You can enter them manually or program a number right off of caller id. It has a scroll button on the side of the receiver which makes it easy to look up names and dial. I would recommend this product!

I've had this phone for about two years and it has been great except for one thing. The LCD screen is almost completely useless now. It started losing "lines" of pixels both horizontally and vertically. Now enough are gone that memory dialing and caller id are useless on this phone and I am shopping for a replacement.

This phone is the worst, as it makes you think it's the best thing ever after a few weeks of use. BUT THEN... I had the same problems as other reviewers as it was always scanning for a channel during calls. Very annoying. Don't buy this phone. I've noticed that Sony is cutting the price dramatically on this phone to get rid of it from its inventory. Don't buy it.
