i would rate this phone 4/5. it is very good and the only problems that i faced was - 1.RAnge is good,but not good for big houses. if your house is bigger than 1500 sq.ft and you want t0 take your phone to all corners of your house, then you wont get a good signal.my house is small so getting good signals all around my house and also will get signal in closed room. 2.If you keep the phone unplugged for a few hours and then plug it in, you will have to wait a few minutes before the reciever is recharged and you can make calls. 3.no backlit display.. the display dosent have light so you cant read the display in the dark. Rest all good... Still working for 3 months i have used with no problem till now.. will recommend if you get a deal below 1500 .. not worth above that...i got this phone for 1200 from shop clues offer which is expired now,so go for panasonic if have 2000.
