- My brother had the Panasonic 900MHz for a couple of weeks. Its shortcomings
- include:
- Battery life of one day. So they give you a spare battery
- to charge while using the phone. This is a big minus in my
- opinion.
-
- The range is marginally better than his AT&T cordless. My estimate
- is that it gives 20% more range for 4x the price and 7x the hassle.
-
- Voice quality is slightly better than the AT&T. Because it is digital
- you don't get static, it simply cuts out like a cellular phone.
-
- The flip down handset is "cool" and very compact.
