I bought this phone around 6 months back to replace a 900Mhz Uniden and another panasonic.Call volume is very low in both ear piece as well as the speaker. Initially i felt it may be a problem in the line, but soon I am hearing complaints from everyone I talk to on this phone.It has got a speaker in the handset which is a great convienience, but again since the speaker volume is too low it can't be used.Off late I am having trouble with the phone battery life too. The phone loses its charge almost every day where as I never had this problem with my earlier phones. On more research found that the battery used PP511 has a huge memory effect (which is pretty bad) and seems almost everyone has this problem. Just search the internet with the the battery model number.Bottom line it looks great for the price, but is very expensive for this low quality piece from Panasonic.Moreover I bought this phone with a $40 mail in rebate from Panasonic which I never received after 6 months.
