Funny - I found the Binatone system I got last year to be terrible. The speaker phone was so feint to be unusable. I got a pair of Panasonic phones this year and I'm delighted with them.

If you're anywhere near a Power City they're worth a look. I picked up a €30 DECT set which lets me bar numbers. I've also been able to move my previous Siemens Gigaset handset to the same base so I can use either handset to make/take calls.

I bought a Siemens Gigaset a few years ago and have 2 complaints about it:
the shape make it very difficult to hold between your shoulder and ear (I know you're not supposed to, but it's inevitable if you need to write something down!)
the blinkin' ***@@!!! keys have stopped working! You pick it up and press answer and it continues ringing right in your ear. you can't key in numbers reliably and even if you succeed, the 'make call' button won't work. It was very expensive at the time too.

Definitely stay away from the Siemens Gigaset. Mine was way too dear, there's a delay between pressing the buttons and anything actually happening, the shape and size is very awkward and the display and menu are rubbish.

I'd go for the Panasonic also; got a dual pack set last year. In combination with UTV's free evening calls, have finally succeeded in weaning kids off ringing their friends mobiles!
