Panansonic KX TCD series. A bit hard to use at first but very good. Avoid Phillips like the plague, they'll go faulty within 18 months:grr:

Cool

B&O
Bang & Olufsen

Yes, very good phones however very expensive. If due to this you were to look at pre owned B&O phones I would tend to stay away from early BeoCom6000 as they were nothing but trouble but as far as I am aware they have ironed out the probs now.
The BeoCom2 (V G Norton)is a VERY good bit of kit but again expensive !!
TBH you dont get the full benefit of a B&O phone unless you have the house BeoLink'ed with other bits of B&O kit.

I have a Panasonic and absolutely hate it. The menu system is the worse I have ever seen on anything! It even has missing characters due to a crap LCD display; you therefore need to learn a different alphabet to navigate the menus!

This un is about 3 yrs old - they may be better now, but BEWARE, cos you will definitely need the book to even recover a speed dial! Totally un-intuitive...

Hmmm... I don't think so, but I could be wrong.
The Beocom 4 is £230 and worth every penny!

Com6000 £325

It has been known for B&O to use some Philips components. there was a TV (MX5000 IIRC) that was equiped with a Philips tube ! Was a piece of shyte thou !

Components are shared allot out there but the sounds are always pure B&O which are and

In your opinion yes, but not mine. I have always and will always pay for quality and design and longevity.

Each to their own!

And as technology makes them obsolete you can dump them in the knowledge that you havent shelled out a fortune on them.Thats the thing with technology,items become obsolete before they reach the end of their normal life expectancy.
