5.0 out of 5 stars My opinion On this Phone, May 27, 2003
Good phone has many features that a cell phone has, variable ring tones, phonebook, and you can also listen to messages from the handset. Keypad has a nice feel and the speakerphone works just fine from a distance. As you have read before it is a must if you use 8011.b wireless your computer. I want to clear up some roomers.

1.) "5.8Ghz needs 10 times the battery power to get the same range as a 900Mhz." This may be true but from experience the batteries in this phone last twice as long as a new batteries in my 2.4 or 900mhz phones in the past (this is probably true due to the fact the battery is larger). One thing I like is the phone uses NIMH batteries, which you can't screw up by recharging all the time during half charge. True, NIMH batteries are not the best flashlight batteries but who doesn't use a phone everyday.

2.) "5.8Ghz radio waves are absorbed in walls and surroundings much more than 900Mhz and 2.4Ghz. This means wall penetration in a home is poor." Who cares, trust me I walked half a block away and could still dial in and hear conversation fine. I you ask me it means better privacy. I don't think anyone is going to have a problem with this phone as far as reception and interference goes, maybe in 2 years from now when the 5.8Ghz spectrum gets crowded you may have a problem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor Range, December 6, 2003
By A Customer
This phone has a great answer machine on it and the voice quality is superb, but the range is terrible. It may be good for an apartment or a condo, but I couldn't walk through my house without it breaking up, and my house isn't that big. And the instant I walked out the door it broke up, only forty feet from the base! I was disappointed. My recommendation after trying many phones is the 5.8 Ghz AT&T or the V-Tech version of the same phone. I know they transmit 2.4Ghz back to the base but I tested it, there is no interference on either end from micowave ovens or wireless B connections. If you live in a house I would not recommend this phone.

The price is a bit high for what you get, but it's one of the few options that won't interfere with a WiFi network. Read more
