The first I tried was the Uniden TRU8866. It had a bad echo on the extra handset and other people complained about that too. This phone uses phone company voice mail (no built-in ans mach) - which is fine - but I had the VM system go bonkers so lost all trust in it. For over a week messages accumulated but we got no stutter-tone so didn't know there were any new messages - arrgghh. Not the phones fault I know but it required VM for messaging so nope.
Next I tried the new Motorola MD7081. I really wanted to like this phone. It's a 2-line 5.8Ghz ans machine like the Panasonic 6500B. I liked it's simplicity and easy switching between line 1 and 2. Had battery backup for use during power outages and the best voice quality of the three. But, it's answering system has no message counter. That alone is no big deal but it didn't have any indicator to say whether you had any saved messages. When a new message arrived it blinked and such - all good. But, if I got home, say, and listened to a message for my wife, the blinking stopped and no indication of "1 saved message" or anything. So, I would have to write a note to her to check the messages. We're so used to relying on seeing a message counter and just listening to them if it's not zero that we thought this would become a nuisance. I also would have liked an auto-line-selection so it would automatically answer the ringing line or select a non-busy outgoing line. But, that would have messed up their simpler style button function - hmmm.
The Panasonic, I am surprised to say, ended up being my favorite. Hopefully it will be reliable. I was always bothered by Panasonic's phones losing the date/time with any little power outage. Happily, this phone sets its date/time from caller-id info even though the manual implies it wouldn't work quite that way. With the right settings and phone company options (busy-forward), it elegantly supports two lines as if they are one. I really like not thinking about which line is what - just pick up and talk.
The 6500B has good voice quality and reasonable range. It's much lighter than earlier caller-id handsets which I like. I also like their shape of handset the best. My gripes are the limit of 4 handsets - I would like 6 or 7. Also, can't name the handsets so with intercom you have to remember each number.






Another troublesome feature is the base is only expandable to 4 handsets. If one has two lines wouldn't it make sense to be able to have more than 4 handsets?
As to the base unit, I've taken to turning off the fax feature unless I know a fax is coming in to prevent the printing of junk faxes. You'd think just not loading paper would do it, but no, the fax buffers the incoming fax in memory (which is a good thing) but given I know it is a junk fax, there is no way to clear that memory save unplugging the phone -- and then when plugged back in, it prints a page to tell you what you missed.

I was very pleased that Amazon was able to find this item for me.





I have two issues that you should be aware of. First some people report that the volume is too low. That is I can hear the person I'm talking to just fine, but the person on the other end has a little trouble hearing me. I called customer service for Panasonic and they suggested turning off the Voice Enhancer feature, which didn't really seem to help. That feature mostly affects the sound on my end from what I understand. However when I talk at a good volume the person can hear me just fine. The issue is a bigger concern when using a headset, so I always try to speak up when possible.
The other issue is the strange voice interface to the answering machine. You would think it would behave like a typical voicemail system at work, but the menu system is poorly designed. When I call in while on the road, I expect to be given a prompt with all the basic choices (e.g. push 1 for this, 2 for that, etc...), like an option to delete the message I just heard. Well that option is buried several menus deep, unless of course you remember that exact key to press on the phone. So it is a good idea to write down the basic command set on a card and keep it in your wallet.
Overall the phone quality is very good and meets our needs. I just think they could have done a little better at this price point, especially with the voice transmission volume. I don't know if there is a better model out there that will do better so shop around and decide for yourself.






Some minor cons are that the buttons are too easily depressed when carrying the phone. It'd be nice if they were inset a little. The phone could display the time and date, since they're programmed into it, but it doesn't. As others mentioned, the handsets register all calls they aren't used to answer as missed calls, so I find myself clearing the caller list all the time. I haven't bothered much with the phonebook, so I don't have much commentary there. It does work.
Overall, they've proven rugged, of very good quality, and with a good featureset. Glad I bought them.
