Panasonic KX-TG7534B DECT 6.0 PLUS Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System with 4 Handsets Review

This is the third generation of Panasonic phones I've bought.I've owned this phone for two weeks.I upgraded from the Panasonic Dect 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System - 3 Handset System (KX-TG9333T) which was a product that never worked well for me -- the phones would sometimes lose power immediately after I clicked "talk" to answer incoming calls.This new phone has worked well for me.I withhold one star from my rating because the user interface is a little clunky.

Compared to the earlier Panasonic models I've owned, this one offers a larger screen, some user-interface changes, and the Dect 6.0 "Plus" technology.The larger screen is nice simply because much of the displayed information is larger, nothing revolutionary there.The user interface is a little clunky, but not frustrating.I can't vouch for any benefits of the "Plus" technology b/c I've never had signal problems in my house.

Three things I like about these phones.It seems it's easier to for the phones to share their information.The phone book and call history seem to be more uniformly presented across the phones.It used to be my phones would become out of sync and I'd have to find the right phone to get the info I wanted.Also, I can name each handset in my system so when I want to use the intercom to call from phone to phone, I can easily identify which phone is the one in the kitchen (provided everyone remembers to put each phone back where it belongs).I don't know if other manufacturers put the "call voicemail" functionality at the top menu level -- especially when considering the phone has it's own answering machine that I choose not to use-- but I like how easily I can check voicemail using the user interface.

Two gripes about the user interface.

With the enlarged display, Panasonic opted to replace the top-level text-based menu with icons and text.This choice seems silly to me.The screen is restricted to displaying six icons, one of which is an image of the globe that is labeled "Customer Support."Selecting this icon simply displays the URL of Panasonic's customer service URL on the phone's display.I expected more.

The primary navigation motif of the user interface is that three navigation options are listed at the bottom of the display (eg. you can select between "phone book," "menu," and "redial").There's a corresponding button on the phone below the left and right navigation options, but the center option requires pressing the center button of a little button cluster that is nearly an inch lower on the phone.This is counterintuitive.
