Exactly What I Needed May 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I was previously using a GE 5.8 phone and wanted to upgrade to a set for the whole house. These are great... very easy to use. The phone is on the small side compared to others I have seen, but that's exactly what I want... small and compact. The menu's are very intuitive and the phone is extremely easy to set up. Sound quality is perfect and I have not experienced any buzzing or interference noises from any other electronics.

The intercom feature is also very nice... you just need to remember which phone is at which extension. It would have been nice to be able to name them, but it's not that big a deal. It's only four phones and isn't too difficult to remember which is where.

The backlit keypad is a nice touch. That's one of the main reasons that I chose this particular model over others offered by Panasonic. Always having a brightly lit keypad on my cell phone has spoiled me.

I feel bad for the few reviewers on here who didn't have a good experience with it. Maybe they received bum units or have houses lined with lead. Who knows. All I can say is that this DECT system is working perfectly for me and recommend it without hesitation.

Some What Disappointed May 16, 2008
97 out of 107 found this review helpful

I have owned GE, Uniden, Panasonic, AT&T, Vtech and a number of other models from the outdated 49Mhz to the 5.8GHz range and now DECT 6.0. I had a set of Uniden TRU8860 5.8GHz which were some of the best I had owned, except they did have range drops and often failed around my Wi-Fi office technology. I thought the reviews on this Panasonic KX-TG9334T set was persuasive enough to give them a try. I concluded I have a newer Panasonic KY-FPG391 5.8GHz that has performed well and there would be little risk. However, after setup, I knew I had made a poor choice. If you have never owned recent Uniden technology, I suppose these Panasonics would be pie in the sky perfect as some of the other reviews on here indicate. However, for me as an aficionado of phone technology, I was left sorely frustrated.

1) The sound is at least half the quality compared to Uniden earpiece. I inserted my top-of-the-line Plantronic 2.5mm headset and was startled at the loss of decibels, as if a resistor had been installed.
2) The Caller ID feature is extremely slow. A call would come in and by the third ring, still nothing was displayed. The answering machine picks up on the 4th ring rendering this feature null and void. On the Uniden, the Caller ID was displayed first ring.
3) The CID in memory has a two line display. You see the listing name first, and then the phone number second... as you wait for it to show. Very poor design. On the Uniden, you see everything at once, no delays.
4) The CallerID announce is slurred and robotic, which equates to useless in my way of thinking. Some people like the audible announcement. This is the only feature that might be preferred over the Uniden.
5) The Panasonic only allows numerical displays for handset locations whereas one review said they had to tape on paper labels. The Uniden allowed for specific labels like "Bedroom" and "Office". I tell you, this does make a difference. When you page another handset, you don't have to try and recall the station number, but can scroll to the name entered on any handset. Panasonic falls short on this feature.
6) The Panasonic does not allow privacy calling. On the Uniden, you could press a key, and all the other handsets were denied conversation access. The Panasonic allows access from any handset without prejudice.

I packed it back in the box after these observations and returned to Amazon. I proceeded to purchase the back-ordered Uniden 3080-3 DECT 6.0 which from what I read is an immense upgrade over the TRU8860 series. Few retailers can keep them in stock because there is such a high demand. Certainly a visual feast. I can't go wrong twice... I hope. It is my desire that this review will save other buyers from my erroneous presumptions.

May 27th, 2008 update: Took delivery and setup the Uniden 3080-3 DECT 6.0 today. WOW is all I can say. Nothing on the market compares! Perfect in every way. Sleek design, features, graphics, and sound. Have vision problems? No issue with this phone, BIG easy to read display. Colorful wallpapers and fanciful tunes for rings. I do have a some loss of hearing, again no problem, these units have great volume in handset and especially through the 2.5mm headset out jack. The Panasonics had almost no volume at all with a headset. Take it from a phone perfectionist, carefully consider the Uniden 3080 and its immense offerings. Yes, they cost a bit more, but you will be very happy and your visitors will marvel at the mere ergonomic sight of them.

Good overall, but a few quirks May 13, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful

This phone has decent (but not great) range and sound quality in my house, both of which are problems with my three year old Uniden 2.4GHz phone when our microwave oven is in use. I like the talking caller ID feature, but it could be better (see below). I also like the fact that it uses standard battery sizes since I know I will need to replace them down the road. The handsets are attractive and the number buttons have a good size and feel (especially compared to the Uniden).

Here are my gripes with this phone from most serious to least:

** SERIOUS FLAWS **
1) When scrolling through the caller-ID old call list, only the name identifier shows up, not the phone number. My Uniden showed both the name and the number, which is important since often the number is meaningful while the name is just a generic descriptor such as "Wireless Call", "Tucson, AZ", "Long Distance", "Unavailable", etc.

If one pauses while scrolling through the caller ID list, after a couple seconds the name disappears and the number appears, but this is inadequate. We often scroll through the list quickly to see who has called or to look up a number, but this takes far too long when we have to pause a couple of seconds at many entries to wait for the number to show up! We are going to see if we can live with this flaw, but we may return the phone and get a new DECT Uniden that doesn't have this problem instead.

2) Caller ID is a bit slow to show up on the screen. When a new call rings and I proceed to the handset, I sometimes have to wait for the caller ID name and number to show up on the screen. I compared this delay to my old Uniden phone and discovered the Panasonic takes about a half-second longer to show who is calling.

3) Sound quality needs to be better. I would say the sound quality is OK, but my old 2.4 GHz Uniden was much clearer (that is, when the microwave oven wasn't running and creating static).

** MINOR FLAWS **
4) The talking caller ID is a little slow in announcing who is calling. It says "call from Joe", but it would have been better to say "Joe calling" so the name is the first thing heard without futher delay. At our house, the phone forwards automatically after 4 rings so this extra delay means we can't sit back and wait for the phone to tell us who is calling before we proceed to a handset. However, the talking caller ID is still great when we can't get to the phone at the moment (middle of changing the baby, cooking dinner, talking with guests, etc.), but still want to know who is calling.

5) Intercom doesn't allow for calling all handsets. When using a phone to make an intercom call across the house, it requires a specific handset to be selected. However, often we don't know where the person we are trying to intercom with is located within in the house. Our old Uniden phone offers an intercom call to ring ALL phones, which is what we almost always want since we don't know which phone is near the person were are trying to contact!

6) The "talk" and "off" buttons are too small. These are the most commonly used buttons and need to be bigger! It would also be better if they were the standard green and red (and lit up like the number buttons). Already some guests are asking me how to use this phone because they don't see a familiar button layout.

** VERY MINOR FLAWS **
7) When the phone dials automatically, it is a bit slow getting all the tones out. It may seem crazy that an extra second to dial a number matters, but it does to me. Once again, our Uniden was better.

8) Phonebook doesn't allow mulitple numbers to be entered for a listing. These days many people have a mobile, home, and office number, and most cell phones allow them all to be placed in one entry which is very useful. The new Uniden phones also appear to offer this.

9) Handsets can't be assigned names. With our Uniden phones, we could name each handset (eg. "Kitchen", "Master Bdrm", etc.) which helped to keep the phones organized. For example, if a handset is laying on the kitchen counter, but we can see the kitchen handset is on its base, we could simply look at the Uniden phone name and conclude "Oh, my wife forgot to put this back in the bedroom." The Panasonic handsets are numbered, but it's asking too much for a busy house to keep track of which number is assigned to which room, so we need to stick ugly labels on these otherwise nice handsets.

UPDATE (after another week of use): Another flaw discovered is the Caller ID list is inaccessible on the handsets during a call! However, it looks like I will be keeping these Panasonic phones because I have read (here) that buttons on Uniden phones have been failing at a high rate, and I even though the Panasonic talking caller ID feature is flawed (see above), sometimes it saves me from hunting down my wife to announce her girlfriend is on the phone.

Great range. May 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I upgraded to the KX-TG9334T to get better range on my phones since I use it out in the backyard over 100ft. from the base unit in the house. My older Panasonics would not work out there. These work great.

Broke in 3 days, and Terrible customer service. May 10, 2008
9 out of 11 found this review helpful

Loved the phones,but after about 3 days one handset stopped working propperly.I called panasonic customer service and they wanted me to send it back to them , at my expense, and they will send me a refurbished handset. Panasonic, how about this, you send me a NEW replacment by mail at your expense,and then I send you mine back,at YOUR expense! Needless to say I returned the entire product to amazon,and got my money back. Terrible customer service,from the dark ages.
