1.0 out of 5 stars MD 470 a poor value, February 18, 2004

By A Customer

I bought the MD 470 and 3 MD 40 extension phones. They have been returned. The sound quality is poor. The hands free volume is weak and unusable. The telephone book memory is awkward to access. The tech support is non-existent. It's off shore and they "have not a clue" as to this product. Save your money, don't buy

1.0 out of 5 stars Mine worked well for a while..., September 11, 2005

By	James M. - See all my reviews

I have had these phones for almost two years now. I really liked looking at and using these phones, they're pretty and well-designed. I did not have the volume problems, and the battery life wasn't an issue once I replaced the batteries. (grumble...)

But now the screens are getting dead horizontal lines and the keys are becoming non-functional. I've cleaned the keypads on my phones a few times, but they get dirty about once a month now, so I must give up.

I wish Motorola would get it's act together with it's consumer products.

3.0 out of 5 stars Spreading The Word, November 20, 2003

By A Customer

It's more like a 3.8 out of 5. Overall I like this phone. Pros are ring tones, fast charge, ease of number storage, and speaker phone located on actual phone as well as base. Cons, batterey life is very short - about 45 minutes of talk time and it needs to recharge. Phone volume could stand some improvement (needs to go a little louder) and getting the phone to go from speaker to just the handset needs a little practice. Lost a few calls trying to turn off the speaker.
