Digital camera reviews of Panasonic KX-TG8231B DECT 6.0 Cordlesss phone System with an All Digital Answering System
Digital camera Review: A cut above Uniden...
Summary: 4 Stars
I love all the Uniden phones I've had, and they do offer the best price-to-performance ratio around, but I have to say that this Panasonic is worth the extra money. Namely, the sound quality is excellent in both directions, in both clarity and volume, and the wireless range is quite impressive as well. I love that it uses ordinary rechargeable batteries rather than some ridiculously overpriced proprietary battery which you might have a hard time finding in stores when it can no longer hold a charge maybe 2-3 years from now. (I suspect that cordless phone manufacturers make most of their profit from proprietary batteries, in the same way that computer printer makers make most of theirs from the ink cartridges.) And the form factor is gorgeous: glossy piano black, with a nice clean and compact look. So, high WAF (Wife Approval Factor) for sure.
My only quibble is that this phone is totally handset based: there isn't even a little LED readout on the base which tells you how many messages you have. Everything is shown on the handset's little color display, which is certainly attractive for a cordless home phone, but is still pretty lackluster compared to even an entry-level cell phone from Motorola or Nokia.
That's why I'm giving this 4 instead of 5 stars: this phone sort of emulates cellphones but doesn't quite pull it off. It lacks the extensive personalizable options, and the menu is short yet not entirely intuitive. The phone book only holds 50 numbers which is great for a cordless phone but sucky compared to a cell phone.
Maybe one day Nokia will get into the home cordless market, wow that would be the best of all possible worlds!
