Pros: Great speaker phone, range, backup battery, wireless LAN friendly

Cons: So-so sound quality, lack of common expandable features, poor documentation

The Bottom Line: Wireless LAN friendly and good speaker phone. Sound quality is not the best, though acceptable to me because the good deals put it significantly cheaper than the competing models.

Review: I bought this phone to replace a first generation 2.4GHz Panasonic DSS because it didn't hold up well and interferes with my 802.11g wireless LAN once in a while. The Panasonic was a good phone, but it started to fall apart after 2 years. When the LCD ...

Pros: Clear sound, long battery, handset speaker

Cons: Expensive expansion handsets, no way to turn off answering system display, no speed dial

Pros: quality construction, cool blue lights, excellent range

Cons: answering machine speaker is cheap and muffled

Review: Message to Motorola: Stop putting cheap speakers in the answering machine base! I had the 481 before this, and that answering machine speaker was equally as bad. When I play back messages, I can typically only understand 75% of the message - voices ...

Cons: "Very sensitive" to other electronic equipment - apparently requires 10 foot halo to function properly.

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend any product that is so sensitive it won't work in a kitchen or office without fear of interference.

Review: On the plus side The Motorola MD 681 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Speakerphone with Answering System and Caller ID has got all the features the average homeowner could want and more. It includes: - Caller ID and Call Waiting Caller ID ...

Pros: The Motorola is a *beautiful* phone.

Cons: It broke nearly right out of the box.

The Bottom Line: A nice phone if it only worked.

Review: When I read about all the problems people have with cordless phones here, I don't feel like I am particularly cursed. My first cordless phone was a Sony 900mhz that always worked just fine. The only problem was that we lost the signal when we walked ...
