'Serenity'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
LeN, doesn't look like yours comes with voicemail. Not sure why they tie the handset speakerphone with voicemail. But maybe I should divest myself of the monthly payout.
What's the battery life like? My main problem with my current phone is that they expire very quickly off the cradle, even without talking.
pretty good, I don't talk on a phone a whole lot, but I have had a handset off the charger for 12+ hours and it looks ready to roll. I think talk time is about 3-4 hours.
Thanks. Sounds like I'm going Panasonic. Maybe I can make it to Fry's tomorrow. I still need to pick up rails.
I have the cheapest cordless phone from Radio Shack, and it's fine talking 3-4 hours in a day, and being off the cradle for days at a time with less talking.

I don't talk a lot on the phone and I find they last for days off the handset. I've only lost one once because it died off the handset. There's also a battery indicator icon on the bottom of the screen, so you can tell when you need to charge them again.

Does it do multiple handsets and speakerphone and store numbers?

Nope -- just the last one. I'm just saying, so far so good on the cheap option. Anecdata, not a recommendation.
We have had Panasonic phones for ages and have been good with them.
We have a nine year old Panasonic that may be starting to have issues. Or it may not, because I think we left it off the charger for four days, and once it was charged it worked fine. So we are a data point for good results with Panasonic, though this does not say much about today's models.
Yeah, I also recommend the Panasonics. In fact we bought the exact same multiple handset, speakerphone in the base type models for both sets of our parents.
