This is the third time I have bought a phone system with one base and multiple handsets, and this is the best one I have used so far.The reasons range from trivial (I like the sounds of the ring tones), to significant (you can use multiple handsets at once).
The two most important features for me before purchase were:
1) 5.8 Ghz spread spectrum.My old phone was a 2.4 Ghz, and it would occasionally interfere with my wireless computer network.It was very annoying.My moving to a phone that uses a different frequency range, the problem is completely avoided.
2) The ability to use multiple handsets at the same time.Another phone I previously had would not let two handsets talk in the same conversation at the same time.This was just miserable.This phone lets you do this without any problems.
After purchase, I found that it had some other amazing features:
1) Each phone has a unique ID, and you can conference between the handsets.With the range this phone has, my wife and I now carry them around outside (we have a 3 acre yard) and use them to talk to each other.
2) The phone has an AMAZING speakerphone capability on each handset!This was not on my radar at all, but it is really useful.
3) When playing back messages it has recorded, it shows you the caller ID entry for the message.Really nice touch.
4) While I don't know much about it yet, I can apparently keep the numbers in the phone's phonebook in sync with those stored in Outlook in my computer.I can also download new ringtones, but that's not so importent to me.More info on this is available at www.openlcr.com.
The ONLY annoying thing about this phone is that when you answer a call on one handset, the other two handsets register it as a 'missed call' in the caller ID list.I considered rating it 4 stars for this, but once you get used to it, the rest of the features more than make up for it.

I work from home and use the phone for 8-10 hours each day.I had one of these units with the base and the battery would last for about 4.5 hours.I purchased two more thinking it would be a great way to get through my day, just swap one for the other when the battery started getting low.However the two units that arrived only hold a charge for 2 hours.What happened?
