I currently have the Sony 900 digital ID975 and like it save for not
being able to connect a headset. But I think Sony's out of the business.
I shy away from the 2.4 just in case we switch from hard wire to
wireless for our computer network. Gather the 2.4 interferes or visa
versa.

We also like the Panasonic. But I can't find one to match my specs in
900 or 5.8. One key feature is to have speed dial not just a directory
dial as we use it all the time to dial our voice mail with our telephone
company.
Thanks for the suggestions.
