Summary: good looks, bad sound and reception
Review: I bought this phone because I like my AT&T digital answering machine and I wanted something compact and nicely designed. And the price was right.

Now I know why this phone is so cheap; the reception is terrible. Everyone I talk to sounds like they're calling from a tin can. Granted, I live in an NYC apartment but my old Sony cordless was able to deal with that just fine.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clearly, an excellent buy
Review: I had been looking for several weeks at purchasing my first cordless phone, leaving corded phones behind me as a thing of the past. A year ago I purchased an AT&T Digital Answering machine, which has turned out to be the very first answering machine that I have ever had that has lasted more than six months, so I decided to check into AT&T's line of cordless phones. Once again, I am pleased by their product.

This 900 Mhz cordless phone is exactly the buy I was looking for: nothing too fancy, 900 Mhz power, easy to use, good standard features, not very heavy, small, and has good range. Just to try out its distance, I walked out to the mailbox and was still able to hear and talk clearly. Best of all, it's easy on my college student wallet and it'll be great for my dormroom. The range will come in handy when I want to talk in the hall so my roommate doesn't hear everything I have to say.

All in all, it's a great buy and has all the uses you'll need for a basic cordless phone. If you don't need goofy gadgets and useless extras, this is the buy for you.

Summary: Best cordless phone I've ever owned
Review: I see from other reviews that many people have been disappointed with this phone. But I honestly think its the best cordless phone I've ever owned. Actually, mine is model #8200 (I bought it a few years ago), but it's the exact same phone they've just changed the model #.

Unlike the dozen or so other cordless phones I've gone through over the years, this thing is durable, has consistently good sound quality (I never encounter static) and a long-lasting battery. I routinely leave it off the base all day (and talk on it a lot) and RARELY does the battery run out on me. And here's another BIG PLUS: it's a comfortable phone to hold or craddle. And I love the compact but chunky size. I really can't say enough good things about this phone. In fact, the reason I ended up writing a review here is because I was shopping around for a second one to buy.

Summary: It works well.
Review: I've had it for about 10 months now, and it still works as well as the first day we got it. There are some annoyances, like having to pause for a second after picking up the phone before saying anything, otherwise the caller just hears "--lo?" instead of "hello?" And sometimes the memory doesn't want to work--have to hit phone, memory + # twice before it dials. Other than that, there's been no problem. Reception is excellent, unless the caller's is faulty. The battery has worked fine. And it works well with our AT&T 1717 answering machine.

Summary: Poor Quality
Review: Sadly, this is the last AT&T phone I'll ever buy. I've just had too many bad experiences.

I bought one because it was inexpensive, small, and could accomodate a headset.

Unfortunately, that's where the good part ends. I constantly get static and interference. What's worse, it has started not working at all. About 25% of the time I answer a call, I can hear the caller, but they can't hear me. Another 25% of the time, the line is just plain dead.

I own two Panasonics and the quality is perfect... all of the time. And they appear to have worn well over time.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: This phone was purchased after a history with wonderful AT&T phones, but this purchase was a disappointment. The phone is absolutely horrible. Either there is such static on the line you can not hear the other person, the buttons do not work to dial or to turn it on or off. It turned out to be a complete waste of money, being that I had to purchase a new phone to replace this inadequate one. I would think twice about ever buying another AT&T cordless phone.
