Title: Unusable after the warranty expires.
Review: I was happy at first with this Panasonic product because of its great clarity...it was indistinguishable from a corded phone. However certain problems arose such as the counter intuitive control buttons requiring two steps to redial, the silver paint peeling off, and the large heavy handset becoming quite warm after a few minutes. I got adjusted to these idiosyncrasies, but in about a year and a half after the warranty had expired, my Panasonic phone began developing a strong, pulsing static noise after ten minutes which would completely obliterate the reception forcing me to use my old 900mhz phone. After reading all the other reviews of this product I decided not to repair it because of the numerous horror stories of Panasonic customer service with this model phone. I bought a Uniden with the same features instead; it was smaller, lighter, functionally easier to use, and doesn't roast my right ear.
Is this product review negative?
