Pros: Great sound quality and range, lots of features, double handsets, and answering system.

Great Brains, Great Body, but something is not quite right...

by smdamd , May 20 '03
Pros: Great cordless speaker phone, decent range, LOUD base speaker
Cons: Many features not intuitive

We love it

by maryatibbs , Jan 02 '04
Pros: No static; great range; built-in answering machine; extremely easy to set up; intuitive functionality.
