I am so disappointed with this phone. I did a lot of research before buying this at the beginning of January and this one kept coming out on top. It has gotten overwhelming positive reviews so I decided to buy it. From day one the static has been awful, to the point where I've had to end calls because I couldn't hear the other person. I've moved the base away from all electronic devices and the static still continues. Since I'm still within the 30 day period this is going back and I'll go back to the drawing board on researching another phone.
