Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Just about as good as they come
For an all around workhorse system that offers thoughtless ease of use, powerful built in functionallity and expandability you will be hard pressed to find a phone of this caliber offered from a competitor. After looking at dozens of other systems I found every single one had caveats. The 5840 however was the closest match to my needs. The only feature I believe that should have been included but wasn't was the base dialing. But this is quickly remedied through the purchase of an additional handset. Simply leave the included handset cradeled after each use and the problem is solved. Even should the handset go missing you can still answer incoming calls on the speaker phone.As for no speed dial this is somewhat of a misnomer. If your speed dial is a frequently used number then 99% of the time it will appear in your redial menu. Simply select it and it works just like speed dial. Granted it isn't true 1 button calling, but it is still very handy. Range is fantastic. I can't get any squelch anywhere within my house (Upstairs or in the basement). Appearance is very clean and professional and beats the heck out of a lot of the plasticy play-school-esque phones currently available. Sound is above average with customizable tone control. For anyone going from a less than perfect phone to this system you may have some adjustment. There is absolutly no hissy feedback in the line. Often if both parties are silent you may feel as though you have lost your connection. The sound of near perfection is something most phones have difficulty with. As for nice touches and features. Call transfer is quite handy. Phone to phone intercom is also very nice. As is the built in battery backup. Handset use and drain is well above par. Days off a cradle doesn't hardly phase the charge. As for an all around household system, the Joneses will be hard pressed to find a superior feature laden solution. So don't lament the (Bigger, Better Badder) scenario, because frankly it doesn't currently exist. As for the die hard home office user there may be a need to look elsewhere for wireless networking, but for the typical family with typical utilization this will take you to a level that will make your old phone feel like 2 tin cans and a piece of string.
Rating: - Great product, non-conventional setup
We've been using this system for about 2 months now and have been thoroughly satisfied with the quality and features (speakerphone, intercom etc...)However, potential buyers should be aware that the setup procedures for this phone is similar to a cell phone. For instance, there is no "page" button for the handset because you can always ring any handset from the base. There is no speed dial because the Memory Dial feature works very much like for a cell phone. If you haven't had any problem programming your cell phone, you should very comfortable with this phone. On the other hand, if you are used to the traditional setup for a cordless landline phone, you may be put off by this. Otherwise, it's a great product.
Rating: - The baby likes it
The baby loves the blinking blue lights on the handset and base when the phone rings. My point is, it looks great, expensive and hi-tech but is not that easy to use. It does not have speed dialing and you can't dial out from the base unit. But my biggest dislike is the answering system, while listeing to messages it does not display the number on the Caller ID screen. Becase I get lots of call, that feature saves me time as I can see who is calling before they are finished their message and can skip or delete that message. Good points: from the base unit you can record a personal message and leave it in a specific mailbox; excellent sound; clarity; and great range.
