My tirade here is so you'll check out the control ease of use before purchase of any telephone...Check out others for ease of use and better sound clarity...I could go into a long and laborious discussion about this characteristic of the Panasonic, however suffice it to say, I have worked in human factors and own other easy to use telephones with intuitively obvious controls...
Simply because of all of the cordless phones I have used, this is the best...While not as clear as one of the Sony digital 900mhz phones, the Panasonic has the same range and certainly does not lack any necessary clarity...For the price of $99.99, you can see it easily outdoes the more expensive Sony phones...
