We purchased two of these handsets along with the digital answering system to replace the mix of phones in the house. They are easy to set up right out of the box and work great. Amazon had a great price and promt delivery. We are really pleased with the complete system and Amazon.

I'm the original "technicapped" booby, but even I was able to set up this system. After it arrived (very promptly) it sat around for 8 days and my kids kept asking when I would set it up. I'm the type that goes into a cold sweat whenever I have to deal with anything technical. I've bought umpteen phones and have NEVER entered a number in memory or used any of the features. Well, finally I got out the instructions and read right through the book. My head was swimming. Finally, I unpacked the base unit (I bought the SD7581 with speakerphone and answerphone) and the four extra handsets and charged them for 16 hours, then started registering them to the base unit. Wow! The instructions were bang on, and it all worked. With new confidence I gave each set a name, entered 5 or 6 numbers in the communal phone book, even entered the time on each set. Then I distributed them to our 5 chosen locations. This system is wonderful. The intercom use alone is worth the price...no more shouting "dinner's ready". It's so great to be able to put a handset anywhere you want, without having to have a phone jack. The sound quality is excellent, and if you walk away from the charger with a phone, the name on the viewing screen tells you where it belongs. We very soon realized we should have ordered more handsets, so I bought 4 more. I only wish I'd bought this system years ago instead of struggling with phones in inconvenient locations which always had the handset missing. I'm in telephone heaven...
Great System March 14, 2007
This was the third phone I purchased as part of the SD7500 System. Amazon had an excellent price on the phone. Similar to the other two, including the base set, this system is excellent. The phones hold a charge for a long period and have numerous options to set your phones to do just about anything you want.
The smallest problem I can complain about is installing the battery and trying to slide the cover back on without damaging the wire. The fit is extremely tight.
Over all, Five Stars. Great Phone System and Additional Handsets.
Every room should have one March 23, 2007
I bought the SD7500 base station answering machine phone because it had bluetooth connectivity for integrating my cell phone (with the optional bluetooth module). There were other products that offered this as well, but Motorola was the only one that operated at 5.8 gHz and looked good enough to have around.
I liked this original purchase well enough to order some additional handsets:
Pros and features: looks good, feels good, sufficient volume and range, seems to be no interference with home wireless network; no static when microwave oven in use; get answering machine messages from any handset, each handset flashes a blue led when there are messages available; make/take calls on my cell phone from any handset; allows me to put the cell phone in the room with best reception and use it from any room with a handset; use handset as walkie-talkie pagers to other handsets in range; reasonably-priced at Amazon.
Cons (applies to base station Motorola Cordless Telephone with Digital Answering System and Call Waiting Caller Id): no speed dialing - need to go through phonebk interface; our phonebk entries are nearly all shared, yet private is the system menu preference, requiring an extra button push to use the phone book - should be a user preference; should be able to download phonebk entries from my (Motorola) cell phone - don't see any mechanism for this; as others have noticed, no chained dialing capability (although I have no current need for this).
Minor gripes: Blue on-hook led could use a light-sensitive dimmer for nighttime - lights up the bedroom - but looks cool in the day; labels on the light metallic buttons difficult to read except in bright light; battery installation is too 'fussy'.
