Panasonic KXTGA510 5.8 GHz 1-Line Cordless Expansion Handset

Pros: Quality, long clear range, no interference w/ 2.2 ghz network
Cons: None. Very happy which is the 1st I think.

I have bought a lot of cordless phone sets over the years and this is by far the best I have had. The range and quality of sound is way better than the 2 different 2.2 ghz I have had. The features are great and it has a sturdy quality feeling the others did not have. Battery life is very good also so I am not sure what the other person is comparing it to.

Pros: None
Cons: Battery Battery Battery!

There is a class action lawsuit against panasonic on this series of phones.

The phone loses power immediatedly after a charge. Phone needs more power that battery can give out. The phone doesn't recognize base sometimes even when your right next to it. Battery life is horrible.

Pros: Sound and transmission is very clear (at least for a year until it dies)
Cons: The life of handset is way too short

We bought the base and two handsets 2 yrs ago, and one of the handset completely stopped working after 1.5 yrs. After a year, we replaced the rechargeable battery in every handsets, but one of the handsets started loosing it's power very quickly (we charge for 6 hrs and it lasted for 10 minutes), and then stopped working.

Pros: quality feel and look, good functionality
Cons: battery needs recharging often

We got this phone recently for a Panasonic multi-phone system that came with two phones. It programmed right into the system and accepted a copy of the directory that was sent to it. Look and feel is good.
