Cingular Go Phone: Motorola SD4501 Digital Expansion Handset for SD4500 System Phones Review

I bought this phone back in June 2006 to expand my Motorola SD4500 base unit.The phone has always performed well, but now (June 2008), the display on both of the cordless handsets is failing. You'll first notice a whole line of broken characters in the display, then, eventually, another line. I'm guessing it'll soon get to the point when the display will become unreadable.Too bad - I like the phones but can't recommend them because of the crummy display.
