I have had Panasonic three-line phones (3170?) that I got for $169.
Your mileage may vary since I live in NYC and I also am a good haggler
 ;-).  They have conference, hold, speakerphone, 50 programmable
numbers, good feel, wall or desk, music-on-hold jack (sub-miniature,
pretty cool), automatic outgoing line hunter, three input jacks for
folks who can't get an RJ-25 out of the phone company or Rat Shack,
although the first jack also accepts an RJ-25 with all three lines on
it. I treat it like a sick dog and it has never given me a problem.

I even have a *really* clumsy girlfriend who seems to drag one of them
(I have three) off the four-foot-high table it sits on to crash down
onto the floor once per week.
