Panasonic Single Line Digital Cordless Telephone, Black

Nice phoneClarity of sound is very good

Not user-friendly and handy to use.Slips from hand.Built quality is good

Good quality phone and durable.Would suggest better to spend a bit more and buy Panasonic only when it comes to Land line phones.My experience is that this brand only keeps working for years

Good product, value for money, clear voice and long lasting charge

Very cheap quality. Takes ling time to change.

In the box: Handset, base station, RJ-11 cable, charger, two rechargeable Panasonic batteries (Ni-MH 550 mAh).Ergonomics and built quality: The handset feels firm in the hand and the phone fits snugly into the base station. The handset has a rubbery finish around the speaker, which is useful while talking with the handset placed between the ear and shoulder. Built quality is good in general.Display: The display reminds me of old Nokia phones. It is visible in broad day light also. There is a battery indicator which shows three bars and a network symbol without any indicator bars for the signal. A crossed out network symbol is displayed however, when the handset is out of reach from the base station.Network and Range: The range is pretty good. It covers an entire 3 BHK house including the balconies.I have not observed any interference with/due to WiFi. If the signal strength is weak or if there is any interference, the handset displays a boost icon.General comments:1. Handset takes 7 hours to fully charge before using for the first time.2. Can store 100 phone numbers as contacts. Once saved, the handset displays the name and number while receiving an incoming call.3. Base station has a large locate button. When pressed, the handset begins to ring.4. Has multiple ringtone optionsPros:1. Easy to use2. Excellent battery backup. Even after approx 2 hours of phone calls and 5 hours away from the base, battery level did not drop even a single bar.3. Speaker is not that loud, but the voice is pretty audible. Voice from the earpiece is loud and clear.4. Backlit (orange) keypad and screen5. Locator Option. It is very useful to find handset where ever you kept.Cons:1. The three little buttons at the top are not illuminated. It can be little difficult for people who are not familiar with the handset to locate the buttons in the dark. For example, my mother did not notice these buttons and ended up pressing the Talk/OFF buttons in the beginning.2. The keypad has a nice rubbery finish, but I am a little concerned about the numbers printed on the keys since there is a possibility that these can fade away over time.3. For the first 3-4 seconds, the handset displays "Incoming call" and then displays the caller ID (name and number if already saved).4. Even after the other party disconnects the call, the handset displays the number as incoming call for a few seconds (the handset stops ringing though).5. Viewing missed calls is a multi-step process. This is not really a con, but people can get confused easily. For example, once you open the missed call notification, the handset displays to press the arrow buttons. After pressing the button shown on the screen, you could view the caller. Instead Panasonic should've kept this plain and simple.6. 40 ringtones available but all are almost same and not even melodies.Power failure feature: This is a feature I have not used so far since the base has power backup. But, I feel Panasonic released a half-baked feature here. The handset should be placed in the base during a power cut. The phone then switches to speaker mode. The base will be powered by the handset's battery. This is due to the fact that the base depends on AC power and lacks an inbulit power supply like a dedicated battery. May be Panasonic should have added a battery slot for the base , since judging by the reviews here, many people seem to be misled by this feature.Bottom line: good product but not awesome.

Study. Working perfectly.
