5.8 ghz cordless telephones

[lordmajax]

I'm in the market for a new 5.8 ghz telephone and I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about the following models:

V-tech i5871
Uniden ELBT585
Uniden CLX485
Panasonic KX-TG5576M

They all have a color lcd which is cool and they all are expandable. Any info. would be great. I saw the phones at www.101phones.com

Hi,

I've been using UNIDEN for awhile now. Good brand

(a 900mhz phone though...)

i've been using a GE 900mhz cordless phone for the last 2 or 3 years, it works great.. even when i'm outside.. very clear signal, good battery life..

i think this whole mhz/ghz thing is kind of like the bit/dpi race that printer & scanner makers have going.. and have been for quite a while.

a color display would draw a lot of power - who needs a color display on a cordless phone ?

Who needs a color display on any phone... just somethng else to break.

I had to exchange my cell phone again a couple weeks ago because the battery went dead and I would have to buy a new battery , but i get the cell phones for free .

But I wanted just a plain good quality phone w/ world wide dialing with a really long charge time and dont need fancy display, camera, Internet or anything else ...

you cant even buy such a thing and they look at you like you are from mars to even suggest a thing ... btw- Internet usage fees here are really expensive (i think) for cell phones ..

Go to Amazon.com and do a search. Their product page has user reviews that should help you out.

Panasonic makes very good products. I would suggest it.
Vtech it's not bad either.

dont get a panasonic cordelss if your in australia and have DSL. it doesnt amplify the signal so you can hear the person on the other end.
