Review title: Hey, it's a good phone!
Product review: Having read the negative reviews on this instrument, I can only think some folks are way too demanding of their home electronics! (Maybe you have to be old enough to remember pre-TouchTone...) I never had any trouble with this phone at all, having had to replace a much older cordless phone that picked up too much outside noise. The sound was great, the batteries were plenty long-lived for home (and SOHO) use, and there was never any bleed-over when both lines were in use. And the complaints I've seen -- the beeping when you push the buttons, etc -- strike me as very trivial. Unfortunatly, my phone was recently fried by a nearby lightning strike, as were my modem and network card, and now I'm acquiring a DSL line, so I'm cutting back to a single phone line. I will probably replace my poor, dead phone with VTECH's model 2461 -- but if I still needed two lines, I would defintely replace it with another model 2960!
