Manufacturer description
What's better than one 5.8 GHz phone? Two Panasonic 5.8 GHz phones! Panasonic made it easier to enjoy all the benefits of its functional, fashionable and flexible phone systems by putting two in one package. With this 2-in-1-bundle system you get 1 base unit, 1 charger and 2 handsets. And just like these expandable systems you only need one phone jack to operate both handsets! Plus, this dual-handset system uses Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology to ensure great sound, incredible clarity, long range and excellent security from eavesdropping. Panasonic 5.8 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology while maintaining the great security, incredible clarity and long range. Have a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi. Kids sleeping? The antenna will signal you silently! Panasonic found a way to shorten the handset antenna while still maintaining the long range that Panasonic customers have become accustomed to. But what's even cooler is that the base of the antenna - which lights up - will alert you to an incoming call (or a message waiting for you). Select from blue, green, amber or multi-color options. With Light-Up ID, you can choose a light-up indicator color, blue, green, amber or multi-color, to link to your preprogrammed phone book data. The light-up indicator will flash quickly to show that you have an incoming call, and it will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message in your voice mailbox. So turn off the ringer, let the kids sleep, and never miss a call. Put the phone down while you talk. Having a handset speakerphone may not seem like such a big deal-until you have to call an automated phone system. By the time you press "2" and return the phone to your ear, you missed half the next option! And when they put you on hold for ten minutes, do you really need to hold the phone? Not with the handset speakerphone. Just listen along, and press a button or pick up when it's convenient. You'll think up other great uses, like letting Grandma and Grandpa listen to their new grandchild at the same time, painting your nails as you talk to your best friend, or just being able to set the phone down while you talk.User opinions

Great Phone
Pros: Nice feel, Awesome Audio
Cons: Small buttons
Review:
I personally love this phone. The only reason that I could see some troubles with this phone is that the bottons may be a little small for some people to see. Otherwise, the phone is just amazing. The speakerphone gives such a quality sound, this was a great investment.

Review:
I have been through countless cordless phones! I have had this phone for 2 months. This phone rocks! The sound quality is awesome. There is no static or interference. I have a wireless computer system in the house and it works perfectly fine! I can go upstairs, downstairs, in the basement and out in the yard with no interference at all! The phone has adjustable volume control in case you want to lower or higher the reception. I love the expandable phone feature. The phone is lightweight. The battery lasts a long time. Overall, I wish I had found this phone sooner!
