Cingular Go Phone: Panasonic KX-TG5439S 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Shock and Splash Resistant Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Handsets Review

I've been living with two 2 different Uniden speaker phone models for years since I could not find an acceptable replacement.There may be other phones where you can speak to your party without disconnecting the speaker but I never found one.Also I have been unsuccessful finding a replacement with a long battery life.

The clarity on this Panasonic is perfect.When I speak to my party there is no echo.You can place the phone anywhere in the room and speak to your party.The volume is adjustable therefore I can not understand why some find it a problem.It is so nice to put the phone on your desk and write and talk without putting the phone on your shoulder and ending up with a stiff neck.

The "phone book" is accepable and scrolling is quick.Too bad the list is printed alphabetical. There is no way to change this feature.But this may be fine with some users.

The selection of phone ringer tones is great.There is one that is deafening which is fine for me since it differentiates between other phones in my home and home office.

I find the reception is great with distance not a factor.No noise, no static. Those that experience static must be picking up interference from other sources.

I do not use the answering system feature since there is only 15 minutes of call time and I need much more than that therefore I use a stand-alone unit.I have not tried it therfore I can not report.

This is a value-packed phone and no one should hesitate a purchase.
