 Panasonic desktop phone November 17, 2008
This phone was exactly what I was looking for. I needed it for my job at home. The one I have still works but you cannot find a headset to fit it. Well, this phone works well and I love that I can also plug my fax machine into it. However, finding a headset was not easy and turned out to be very expensive and with the headset attached the volume is minimized - I don't like this at all. If you don't need the headset part, its a great phone but if you work at home like me and need that - try another phone, don't waste your money.
 Poor Choice September 29, 2008
This product looks good but its performance was totally unacceptable. It had so much static and noise in the dialtone and on completed calls that responses were almost indescernable. Thinking I must have gotten a lemon I ordered a replacment, however the second phone had the same problem. I have returned it for a refund. I have had poor experience with Panasonic products over the years, this does not instill any confidence in their products as a whole.
Problems with handset September 25, 2008
The mike on the handset is of poor quality and sound. The mike for the speaker phone is better, which makes no sense to me. With out the companion Hands-Free Headset no one would be able to hear me. If it were not such a hassle to return this phone I would have. Very much a disapointment from Panasonic.
It hisses September 19, 2008
I bought this Panasonic phone after having excellent results with cordless Panasonic phones (KX-TGA520M). I needed a phone that would not require electricity for power outages and when my battery went dead from over use. The phone had the features I wanted (head phone jack, speaker, mute and no answering machine).
Unfortunately there is a persistant hiss on this phone. I tried it with a DSL filter and without and it makes no difference. The cordless is still crystal clear, so I use that phone 99% of the time.
Luckily we had the corded phone. Hurricane Ike took out our power for 4 days and this was the only phone working after the cell phones went dead.
Great phone, lots of features, wall-mountable (but..) August 2, 2008

Dial Lock:
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere on the Amazon site, and it could be important to some folks, so before I get into other features -- this phone includes a dial lock that prevents anyone from dialing out except to one number (911 or another number of your choice) programmed into the "Emergency" button memory. Incoming calls are still received in this mode.
Sound quality and speakerphone:
The sound quality is great, through the handset, speakerphone, and headset (I have a Panasonic headset). The speakerphone has volume control, which is nice. You can dial out using the speakerphone, but to do so, you need to have the batteries (see below) installed. You can use the phone without them, but then you have to pick up the receiver in order to activate the speakerphone. Once you do, you can hang up and dial with the handset in place.
Wall Mounting:
This phone is wall mountable, but it sticks out from the wall more than I like -- about 3 1/2 inches NOT including the handset. With the handset hung up, it's about 5 inches. The phone itself has a slim profile, but the bracket that enables you to mount it on the wall makes it stick out, and when the phone is mounted on the wall, the bracket is very noticeable (at least with the white model -- the bracket is dark gray). The bracket goes on the phone easily, but NOTE that to mount it on the wall, you need a phone jack that has two large-headed screws (and my jack plate sticks out from the wall about a half inch, which doesn't help with the side view). The bracket has slots that fit over the screw heads and hold it nicely in place. You also have to flip the little hook just below the switch hook to be able to hang up the handset when the phone is mounted on the wall, but that's easy to do.
Batteries:
The phone uses 3 AA batteries for memory storage. (No AC adapter capability, but that's fine by me -- the last phone I had on the wall needed an AC adapter and I always hated the way the cord looked running from the plug up the wall to the phone). The compartment for the batteries is at the back of the phone, so you'll have to take it off the wall (and remove the bracket from the phone) to replace the batteries, but the bracket removes easily, as does the battery compartment cover (note that even tho it looks like it's in place when you first put the cover on, you need to push down a little more until it snaps into place). The manual says alkaline batteries should last 6 month (depending on usage). It also says you have one minute after removing the batteries to replace them before losing your stored numbers. I just tried it, and had plenty of time to spare.
Miscellaneous:
The handset phone cord is very short, but easily replaced. And there's a handy-dandy little nub at the top of the phone above the handset cradle that you can use to hang the handset on (without hanging up), if you want to go get a pencil or something while you're on a call, so you don't have to let the handset dangle if you don't have a shelf or table nearby.
Overall, I'd buy this phone again, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a basic, non-answering, corded speakerphone with volume and mute buttons (rare birds, these). Oh, and especially if you need the dial-lock feature!
