Panasonic DECT brilliance

Advantages: Easy to use, excellent sound and build quality
Disadvantages: SMS can be fiddly to type and polyphonic ringtones aren't the best

...My review is about the Panasonic KX-TCD 505 Digital Cordless Phone. Some while back I bought my parents some BT cordless phones, they weren't digital but at the time they were perfect for the job. I then decided that I wanted to get an extra for my own room but being as it was around a year later I couldn't find the same phones for sale anymore so I decided to look for an alternative. This is when I discovered the Panasonic 505 DECT with SMS. The phone itself is very small and compact (compared to lots of other DECT phones), has easy to use and see buttons that are illuminated by a green back light and the LCD screen is also large and clear being illuminated in blue. The sound quality of the phone is fantastic being as it's a DECT phone and reaches around 100m from the house without losing signal, the phone is also...

Panasonic KX-TG83231 range

Advantages: Very clear sound, excellent range. Best speaker phone I've used.
Disadvantages: none.

...We have owned a speaker-phone for many years but never really found the voice quality and reception very good at all. In fact I would say it was practically impossible! At the time we had bought one of the most expensive models we could find thinking it would give the best sound quality through the speakers and microphone, at best the caller's voice was muffled and the microphone would only pick up our voice if we stayed within about a foot of it and spoke more or less into the microphone. Not good at all when wanting to have a telephone conversation at the same time as preparing a meal. After a bit of research on-line and visiting a friend of ours who already owned a Panasonic cordless phone, we decided to get the Panasonic KX-TG8324E. This is a set of 4 cordless dect phones, and we are not disappointed with the results...

Talk a lot? Think - Panasonic KX-TG 8222

Advantages: Stylish, feel good and great functionality.
Disadvantages: Very susceptible to finger prints!!

...The Panasonic KX-TG 8222 is a brilliant home phone and no mistaking; I do most of my communicating by telephone via my mobile and even then only when I have to. I am not one of those people who pick up a phone and chat endlessly to someone because I have nothing better to do but when I do need to use a phone I like it to feel comfortable to hold and not to crackle in my ear, those were my only real lookouts for a phone but I didn`t realise how bad our old house phones really were until we bought these. The Panasonic KXTG8222EB digital telephone is of course cordless and has a large LCD screen, illuminated keypad, 200 name and number directory and an answering machine function which will allow you to record up to 40 minutes of messages ( a good 20 minutes more than my last phones offered). You can adjust the ringer and the handset...

Panasonic KXTCD 240

Advantages: Clear speaker large display packed with features
Disadvantages: Large Base station and difficult to wall hang

...With this model Panasonic managed to pack everything in to one unit that a family home could ever want. The unit is GAP compatible and you can add up to 6 handsets to the main base station. The main base station is also a handsfree phone so if you dont want to pick up the phone or cant find the phone then you can make and receive calls directly from the base station, I have walked around in a room 10 metres square and talked on the base with out the caller even knowing. The handsets also come with handsfree and on the main unit handset you can also operate the answer machine. The phone has 10 ring tones all reasonably pleasant and a large clear easy to use display. The phone is caller ID compatible and the display when caller ID is in use is very clear as to what number is calling and if your callers number is stored in the name...

A tune for every occasion

Advantages: small, long battery life, 200 memory address book, hands free
Disadvantages: non so far...

...Having already been the owner of a DECT phone of the BT type, which unfortunately failed the 'does it bounce on the kitchen floor test', I was when looking for a replacement trying to find another of the same ilk, but tougher this time round! After much ummmm'ing and arrrrrrrrr'ing in the telephone department of my local John Lewis store, and after consulting one of the wonderfully helpful members of staff on the subject of durability/bouncability, I decided apon purchasing the Panasonic KX-TCD705. Not exactly a name that just trips-off-the-tongue I know, but a pretty neat bit of kit nonetheless. Back at home I opened the box...and found, well pretty much what you would expect to find really...meaning one base station, one handset, a mains adaptor, a generous length of phone cable, 2 batteries of the rechargeable variety, a belt...

My ding-a-ling

Advantages: Excellent call quality, heaps of useful and useable features
Disadvantages: Design is functional rather than aesthetic, doesn't work in a power cut

...When we first started living together, like a lot of other people, we had a lot of essentials to get and not a lot of money to spend. We bought the best we could afford on our limited budget with the intention of replacing each item in turn when we could afford better. The Panasonic KX TCD735 was the best bargain we could find as it is a good quality phone with lots of high tech abilities included and it was cheap on eBay at £40. It has actually turned out to be one of our best bargains and we no longer intend to change it; in fact we bought a second. The Panasonic KX TCD735 This is a cordless phone/answering machine with a hand free operation. The hand free is accessible from both the handset and the base unit. You also have the option of using headphones which is useful if you are on the phone while typing on your PC (although...

Funky Panasonic Phone

Advantages: Clarity of sound, lots of useful functions, easy to use, funky lookin
Disadvantages: backlight wont turn off when on charge

...up with the useless BT phones for many years I had a wish list of features that I wanted in the new phones. I also refused to have another BT model. After much searching I decided upon the Panasonic KX-TG 8220. It had everything I wanted and more to boot, the only downside was the price. We bought the 3 handset pack for £109.99 from Argos. Model Names Here is a brief explanation of the Panasonic model naming system. The KX-TG8220E refers to the model that consists of the answer phone base unit and one handset. I bought the KX-TG8223EW, the 3 meaning it comes with 3 handsets and the W at the end meaning the colour of the model is white. The model is also available in black and these model numbers will have a B at the end instead of the W. A twin pack will be 8222 and a quad pack will be 8224. They are all the same model but...

Review of Panasonic KX-TG 8223

You get what you pay for!

Advantages: Clear display, Good loud speaker volume, good features
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive, earpiece volume may not be sufficient for some

...The time came a few months ago when my previous cordless phone was beginning to show the signs of age ? short battery life, poor reception etc etc. So, off to John Lewis I went to find a replacement? and this is the one I plumped for. It was available at £149.50. The KX-TCD507E consists of: - two handsets - one main base station which is connected to the phone line, transmits the signal and charges one handset -one recharging unit for the other handset - two belt clips - two AC adaptors - four AA rechargeable batteries The handsets and base stations are also available in other combinations, individually and also with a built in answering machine. I plumped to stick with BT?s 1571 dealing with my missed calls. MAIN FEATURES (as listed by Panasonic) ? Up to 20 hours talk time, 200 hours standby ? 120 dynamic...

1st CLASS PHONE

Advantages: Very clear sound quality
Disadvantages: Limited recording time

...In the past I have always purchased cheaper phones and found them to be adequate. I decided this time around to be a little more extravagant and splash out a little. I have purchased Panasonic TV's and VCR's in the past and reckoned on their phones being of equal quality. To say the least I was not disappointed! The first thing that grabs your attention is the crystal clear colour LCD display. Being 1.9" it is quite a bit bigger than the norm with most phones tend to have a 1.5" display. Whilst .04" may not sound a lot, it does make a difference and is far more aesthetically pleasing on the eyes. The next thing that grabs your attention is the long slim design, not to dissimilar to the older style Sony Mobile design. The similarity does end there though, the handset is quite smart and modern looking, personally the pictures...
