Panasonic offers a myriad of choices when it comes to Dect 6.0 phones. We have arrived at these through trial and error. Both the 9000 series and 1000 series failed us; both gave us "out of range" errors often, and the 9000 series would hang up every time we switched from speakerphone to handset. I work from home sometimes on conference calls, so that was completely infuriating and unacceptable.
+'s of these (7400 series) phones:
* Good range - still clear walking around our yard
* reasonably clear (though the volume is a bit low)
* voicemail list and voicemail accessible from handset (choicemail - love it!)
* Good other features - offers a headset jack, belt clip, lighted keypad, speakerphone in each handset
* use regular rechargeable batteries, which you can replace very cheaply once they die (get the pre-charged Duracells or Sanyo Eneloops)
* great price
-'s of these (7400 series) phones:
* still not the best sound quality (my old 5.8 GHZ and 2.4 GHZ had better sound)
* terrible navigation menus (especially in this day and age of iphone style interfaces), though the 7400 series is more intuitive than the 9000 series or 1000 series. We like the little joystick navigator once you get used to it.
* Still can't make the volume on the handset loud enough... I ended buying a headset with adjustable volume that seems to compensate nicely.
* No simple speed dial feature (hold a number down), or if it has it, it is too complicated to program (see "terrible navigation menus" above)
* No speakerphone or dialpad in the main base charging unit - you cannot answer the phone if you do not have a handset around.
We chose these over the 6400 series because the 6400 does not have choicemail (ability to select which VM you want to listen to), has a smaller screen, and no joystick to navigate the menus. All in all, a good purchase and the best compromise out there in a Panasonic phone. Not perfect, but certainly better than the others we have tried.

THE GOOD: The display on these phones are awesome, good sound, good range and the batteries hold their charge well.
NOT SO GOOD: Call Blocker feature works but you have to hear one ring, Can't turn ringer off on one call.
No speed dial.
My next phone purchase will be Uniden. Used them for years but eyesight is failing & they have had small dispay screens with not enough contrast.

This phone is great. I love it. I love how you can set a certain ring tone for different phone numbers you program into it. And then it also talks and lets you know who is calling so you don't have to jump up and look at the caller ID. I was disappointed about the battery life on them. I had one of the hand sets off the charger most of a day while I was outside, so I didn't have to run to the house for the phone, well the battery totally died on me after not being on the charger for about 8 hrs. But it wasn't a total problem as I still had 3 other handsets to use while it was charging back up. I love being able to also use the speaker phone on the handset so I don't have to have the phone to my ear while talking. And when you program one phone with phone numbers, it programs all the handsets so you don't have to do it individually. Oh ya, you can also listen to your messages from the handset also! No more having to run to the base to listen to my messages. I'm just hoping this phone lasts a long time. My Uniden totally died on me after some power outages. Even after resetting it over and over, just was static noise.

These phones are really great...A result of my endless research on most of the things I buy. I had a previous set of phone from Philips which were also Dect 6.0 but had horrible displays on them. These are the opposite in that they are very well made and designed and have many functions that make life easier. Clock and big clear screen and ability to hear who is calling before looking at the caller ID. The sound quality is crystal clear and have a very long range. I am very happy with these phones.

Very nice set of portable phones. I love the voicemail feature that lets you see who left a message and select each one separately (similar to the iphone). call quality is excellent and i really like the shared phonebook feature. I also like that they used regular rechargeable AAA batteries so that when they stop taking a charge I can go to any store and get replacements for about $10. Awesome product, dont hesitate to buy!!!
