2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 8, 2008

By	Suzanne (Norfolk, CT) - See all my reviews

We have owned this product for about two years and already had to purchase new (expensive) batteries for the handsets because they would no longer take a charge. Now the new batteries no longer hold enough charge for the speakerphone to function - if you press the speakerphone button, the battery life immediately goes to zero and the phone dies (and you lose the call). From the beginning, these phones would die if you left them off the charger overnight.

The design is very slick and appealing, but we found that the features were clumsy and disappointing. You can't convert a caller ID number to a phone book entry because it doesn't include the "1". Phonebook entries on the two handsets are independent and can't be transferred. There is no headset jack.

Overall I would not recommend this phone. We bought it at a discount at BJ's, and for our replacement set I'm paying more attention to customer reviews and will probably go with the Panasonic KX-TG9344T.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good phone if you never leave it off charger, September 20, 2008

By	Sparky (Idaho United States) - See all my reviews

Everything about this phone is good, except the battery life. From the very beginning the phone would go dead after 5 or 6 hours off the charger, even with no use. Now, several months later, they're only good for a couple of 5 minute calls before I have to switch phones. Customer service is useless--they acted as though their faulty product was my fault.

1.0 out of 5 stars Also disappointing!, March 15, 2009

By	Hill Country Lady (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

Have had this phone less than 2 yrs, deleting messages almost impossible, button does not work to delete, skip, repeat or stop. Answering machine still runs and shows a message taken when no message is left. Would prefer a phone that answers when taken off charger instead of having to push the button to talk. Would not purchase this phone again.
