Good product, one unaddressed concern though.
Good:
1. Cool: color display (decent resolution), upload ring tones (anything, as long as you convert it to WAV), upload wallpapers, backlit kbd etc. It kind of felt as if I were working with a mobile phone in terms of having features like that
2. Functionality:
a. The main unit has its own keypad and is capable of doing calls by itself
b. Both speaker phones are good, could be quite loud if you need them to and the other end never reported any problems hearing.
c. A very good reception and range /esp. for a 5,8 Ghz phone/
d. It seems the answering machine can slow down the speech rate a bit which might be convenient if you have a fast talking friend who no one understands.
e. Overall I can openly say that it is a product that does not come with any function issues.
Bad:
The only thing that had me worried was when I read the specifications – 200mW maximum power output of the headset.
I guess they had to increase the output power in order to compensate for the naturally lower penetrating ability of the 5,8Ghz waves compared to the ones with lower frequencies (therefore 5,8Ghz phones being more prone of having lower range).
Compared to 60 mW of my previous phone, 200 mW of radio waves directed at ones brain sounded scary to me. Was I right….
I checked other wireless devices , wireless routers per say operate mostly at 40mW and some have a software block in order to prevent one from setting output power no more than 100 mW while others point in the manual that over that it might raise health issues. So fact is that more than 100 mW is not recommended for a home wi-fi router /for all routers I`ve seen/. Does this imply that 200 mW is way too much for a home phone headset?
I asked Panasonic but never received an answer to that. /!/
Without making a conclusion or any statement and merely pointing out these facts, I`d really prefer to know that the newer models and technical progress would be associated with decresing /NOT with increasing/ values that were the reason for health concerns.

One of the best budget digital cameras for under $100
I purchased this cam for $99 (brand new, retail product, sold directly by Canon) + tx. and so far this has been a very good camera.
Pros:
- Yes, finally you can put a date on any photo resolution (I don`t know what prompted Canon to enable only the 2MPix photos with a date... that was weird)
- low noise levels at low iso settings. Actually in my personal experience the noise levels on this camera were comparable to a Panasonic FZ35 (on 1/4th of the price)
- very low chromatic aberration in rare circumstances
- Very good battery life
- decent number of controls for the beginner
- video is still VGA 640x480, but it is with a relatively good quality
- camera tolerates moderate abuse, dropping on the ground (as long as it is not ON at that point) seemed not to affect its work
- it uses standard AA batteries. A very important feature for any entry level digital camera.
-It has a real optical viewfinder, something you don't see very often these days.
Cons:
- Yes, the video is still only 640*480 and there are many other entry level digital cameras that offer higher res. Canon should reflect on that this year.
