5.0 out of 5 stars
An improvement to a world class phone, July 19, 2001
Having owned a previous Panasonic Gigarange phone (KX-TG2550S) and being extraordinarily satisfied, I purchased this one to replace another phone in my household that was in need of replacement.Feature for feature, both phones seem similar. However, Panasonic has improved some very critical areas. The handset has been redesigned for more comfort during long usage, a great benefit since the older model would become uncomfortable during extended periods. Also, the redesigned shell of both the handset and the base provide both a much more contemporary look as well as providing an easier grip on both. The older model's sleek design is a little slippery, although the rubber grips helped. The user interface is similar to the previous models', and while it's not too difficult, expect a learning curve before you get the hang of it. Another area where Panasonic has improved the phone is the connection between the base unit and the handset when the handset is in the cradle. The older model would occasionally have difficulty finding the connection. With the new model, this seems to also have been improved. For those who haven't owned one of these phones, I understand all this comparison may seem a little confusing. However, this phone is reliable, convenient, powerful, and crystal clear. It's an excellent purchase and a definate improvement over last years' Gigarange models, which were superior phones. I have owned a pair of GE cordlesses and a Sony cordless before that, and none could compare to the Panasonic Gigarange. I don't have any first hand experience with any other models since, but this phone is an excellent phone, worthy of consideration. And plus, it just looks so much cooler than anything else on the market. You have to give it that.
