I've used the phone for 9 months. It's a truly outstanding phone. The cordless handset sounds great. It is limited to two ongoing calls at one time, but that has not been an issue for me.<BR>
<BR>
The range on the cordless is comparable to the Panasonic KX-TG4000 KSU that I used to use and a Panasonic 5.8GHz corldess that I use via an ATA.<BR>
<BR>
The ability to sync the directory of the base and the handset makes the 480i CT much more convenient than the ATA/Cordless combination.<BR>

<FONT COLOR=000000 DEFAULT="COLOR"><FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="10">Hi Folks, <BR>
<BR>
Looking for feedback on the cordless phones with the Aastra 480i CT handset. Is voice quality comparable to standard consumer residential 2.4GHz cordless phones in the US$30 - $50 price range, or better/worse?<BR>
<BR>
How about handset and speakerphone quality for the main phone?<BR>
<BR>
Seems like there have been various big issues with firmware in past, but is it pretty stable now?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
