- I have an AT&T 5510 cordless, and it's great -- no problems. I also have
- a Sony A600 answering machine and corded phone. It has inferior sound
- compared to the AT&T cordless. Also the Sony has various infirmities.
- E.g., you sometimes have to jiggle the wire to the handset to make it work.
- An expensive piece of junk, I would say.
