Digital camera reviews of Panasonic KX-TG5672B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Handsets
Digital camera Review: Excellent home office / work at home / telecommuter phone
Summary: 5 Stars
Panasonic KX-TG5672B
I am a work at home telecommuter and although I don't have excessive needs, there were several features I have found to be near vital for the work at home person.
* comfortable headset which stands upright easily.
* headset speaker phone with mute
* base unit speakerphone with mute
* 5.8 GHz to not interfere with wireless network
* digital answering machine
* call waiting
For someone just starting out as a telecommuter, the speakerphone features and mute features are indispensible. Some people prefer headsets, but I find it too similar to being leashed to your desk. A good headset speakerphone prides a quality speaker with which you can listen to conference calls, while on mute, and the microhones are very good quality so those on the other line can hear you well. The Panasonic KX-TG5672B is all of this.
The base system is not too large and take up too much room. Additional features like being able to interact with the answering machine from the headsets is a very nice feature also.
I had a V-Tech cordless phone previously and there is a noticeable quality difference between the V-Tech and Panasonic brands. I did quite a bit of research and read many reviews on the cordless, 5.8GHz, answering machine + speakerphone models. The Panasonic really seems to be out in front.
I have been very satisfied with the KX-TG5672B, it has proved itself to be well made and I have had no issues in the 4 months I have used it. I would recommend it to anyone.
Digital camera Review: Excellent phone

Panasonic KX-TG5672B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Handsets I love this phone. The sound coming out from the handset is very clear, it has a talking caller ID, which is a very cool feture. You can also check your messages from your handset. The only drawback is the price, it's too expensive. Other than that this is a must have phone.Digital camera Review: Excellent phone Tons of features
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this phone system as a gift. I set it up and used it extensively. The handsets have features that you are used to finding in a cell phone. Many different ring tones to choose from, the antenna lights up when a call comes in. You can even set special colors and ring tones for specific callers so you'll know when they're calling without picking up the handset.
Talking caller ID is great too. No more rushing to find the phone only to discover it's a sales pitch or a call that could wait.
I set this phone up on a voice over IP cable modem phone and the calls are loud and clear.
The phone is running next to an 802.11b/g wireless computer network and has NO interference at all.
One suggestion to make the batteries last longer: Do NOT leave the phone sitting in the charger all the time. This will basically be constantly charging the batteries and will wear them out MUCH faster. Instead leave the phone off the charger until the battery alert beeps and the phone displays "recharge" on the screen. Then let it get a full charge. You'll find that the batteries will not need to be replaced for a year or more instead of 6 months or so.
Digital camera Review: Excellent phone sets clear for Voice over IP
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two sets of this model. Used it for AT&T CallVantage, Internet phone calls. It does excellent job. Clear and loud enough for people with hearing loss. Panasonic always has the best phones.Digital camera Review: Excellent purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my mother to replace her aging Panasonic 900MHz (KX-TC1741B, an excellent unit for its time) and a horribly deficient RadioShack house brand cordless (that didn't even tell its frequency). Two handsets are enough for the layout of her house, but she's happy knowing that she could add a third in the future.
The base unit is about 2 feet from a wireless-G access point, with no interference to date (2 months after installation).
The only remotely negative comment she could come up with was that the new unit doesn't have a missed-call indicator. But as she added afterwards, "You've got to pick up the handset to check ID anyway." Her favorite feature is the talking Caller ID; it lets her, as she put it, "ignore the phone without ignoring the phone," particularly during meals.
She hasn't begun using the Address Book yet, but as with the opening for a third handset, she's happy to know it's there.
Can't comment on battery life or durability yet, but based on the feel of it and the lifespan of her previous Panasonic phone, I'm not worried.
