4 out of 5 stars Great speaker phone.......2004-03-09

I did not buy this for the speaker phone but I was amazed on the quality of sound of it. This phone lets you turn off the ringer ... which was important so it did not wake the baby ( the base lights-up when it rings). It could have had more options for the price, but it meets my needs well. Now, I wish I could turn off the handset locator buzzer since my child plays with it!

1 out of 5 stars Poor Quality, Short battery life.......2004-02-16

Well, we've had pretty good luck with Panasonic cordless phones. Our first one was the best lasted for years clearest reception then we got a 900mhz one about a year and a half ago. The audio quality wasn't as good as the older one that wasn't even 900mhz, but it was acceptable. But recently the 900mhz has had problems. So we thought this would be a good simple choice, and should be better quality, and this one has the NimH battery so it should last longer(more charges), those Ni-Cd ones get expensive.
but NO, this thing is horrid, first the battery doesn't last long at all, so much for that as a plus. But the audio quality was horrible, it's like a bad cell phone, with drop outs and all kinds of digital garbling. It was useless. maybe someone in our area has a wireless router at the same frequency??? I don't know this was unusable. And yes, the microwave makes it even worse. Never had problems like this with any of our OLDER Panasonic phones but the new ones seem to be junk. It's too bad, they are all so cheap now, but no one seems to make a quality one. Still looking.

1 out of 5 stars Problematic.......2004-02-04

Awful awful sound quality, worse than the $20 Bell Northern phone with which I replaced it. Also the battery dies so fast that if you don't check the phone every six hours it dies before you can notice the "recharge" indicator blinking. Just being away at work for 8 hours is all the chance it needs for the battery to die even if when you left for work the recharge indicator wasn't lit..
Also the ring volume is very low, so if you happen to be watching a movie or listening to music when it rings it's easy to miss.

4 out of 5 stars My Second Cordless Phone.......2003-12-15

I bought this phone because my Uniden TRU 246 got to where nobody could hear me unless I used the headset jack. Not a problem since I primarily used the hands-free anyway, but I thought I'd look for something else. I tried looking for another Uniden, since I'd had my 246 for two years and still hadn't changed the battery yet, and I thought that was good life. However, the new Unidens are ugly! Since I'd read good things about Panasonic equipment, and I own one of their VCRs, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I've lived with this phone for over three months now, long enough to have formed some real impressions on it rather than rely on knee-jerk reactions to something I hadn't thoroughly lived with yet.

First, this phone is cheaper than I paid for the Uniden two years ago by over half. However, it doesn't have the memory storage for storing phone numbers, nor does it have the CallerID display. I thought I'd really miss both of these features, but I've never even had CallerID, and even with all the area codes I have to remember, it was really a pain having to program all of them in my other phone with a number pad. So I'm finding I don't miss the display that much.

Secondly, the ringtones are great! You have a choice of six. I have a very distinctive one now that rouses me from sleep whenever I hear it. This phone is better than the Uniden in that you have more volume settings than barely audible and wake-the-dead, and the round part up top flashes when it rings. Ironically, it'd be a great phone for the hard-of-hearing.

Thirdly, the phone comes in several colors. I chose the black one, 2208B. Choose another color and get a different letter at the end of the model number. The phone is also very attractively designed, and fits in my hand very well. If I get tired of holding it....get this...there is a SPEAKERPHONE built into the handset! I can put the phone in my apron or my jeans pocket and plug in a headset, or I can just set it down and use the speaker. Add a star for this feature!

But the most important feature for me was my phone HAD to have a lighted keypad. 90% of cordlesses don't have that for some ungodly reason. The 2208 won big points for that.

What I don't like about it? One, I prefer to hang the base on the wall, and while that's easily done with this phone, it doesn't lay flush with the wall like my Uniden did. It's really kind of an ugly set-up.

How about talk time? When I first reviewed this phone I didn't think I was getting the kind of time I was used to having with my first cordless. My friends and I are the type of people who are likely to call each other up and kill an entire weekend afternoon by watching figure skating competitions or awards shows together even though we're in different time zones. These shows can run well past four hours, so I needed a phone with stamina! That's why at first I was a little disappointed that my new phone starts to beep at me after three-and-a-half hours. Unlike the Uniden, though, it beeps for quite a while (half an hour) before it actually goes dead.

On the other hand, I favor the speakerphone a lot, and in the time I've had this phone I've figured out that the speakerphone uses up more juice than just holding the handset. When I refrain from using it exclusively I get the time I need for the most part. In fact, I was able to watch part of 60 Minutes plus all but the last 30 minutes of the Grammy Awards show with my friend in Boston before the phone went dead. So, I'm very pleased with the mileage I get from this cordless.

I think it's a great little phone. I've retired the Uniden altogether and am considering buying the CallerID model with answering machine. That way, when these awards shows run long, I'll have a backup!

2 out of 5 stars Looked Good...........2003-10-13

I bought it because of a prior experience with a panasonic phone. I loved it, had it for almost six years(which isn't bad for a 900 mghz).This one looked good, the auto scan, speaker phone, nothing too fancy, but after 2 months reception is lousy,tried all suggestions, moved phone to every jack in my house, no improvement. Very disappointed.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    The remanufactured Panasonic KX-TG2208B cordless phone combines quality and style in a single package. By utilizing the 2.4 GHz frequency and the 39-channel autoscan and employing Panasonic's Voice Enhancer technology--which helps clarify and improve reception by producing an easy-to-hear, natural-sounding voice--the KX-TG2208B sounds crisp and intelligible even at a distance. Even better, answering a call is as easy as pressing any key on the phone thanks to the Auto Talk feature. As an alternative, users can answer the phone simply by removing it from the base unit, just like with a traditional handset phone. All this in an elegant black chassis that's far sleeker than its boxy competitors.

    The cordless handset comes with an integrated NiMH battery that provides up to five hours of talk time and 11 days of standby. When the battery starts to fail, the phone lets you know it's time to recharge by displaying a low battery icon. In addition, both the handset and ringer volumes are adjustable to your liking, and you can easily switch between tone and pulse dialing depending on your needs (up to six different ringer types are available). To ensure that users know the phone is ringing when the volume is low, visual ringer LEDs flash on both the front and back of the handset when a call comes in.

    The headset-compatible KX-TG2208B also boasts a handset speakerphone that enables hands-free communication. Additional features include an illuminated keypad that makes dialing a snap even in the dark, a page feature that helps locate the handset, and a belt clip. The phone measures 2.06 by 7.09 by 1.5 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day warranty.
