A member of this group suggested I post my comments on the new
Panasonic 3910R cordless phone. I had tried several GE models, and
then two Sanyos. All ranged from terrible to mediocre on reception;
noise, poor voice quality, etc. While AT&T seemed to be getting good
ratings in {Consumer Reports}, AT&T's distribution and promotion
operation in Canada is incompetent and it was impossible to find one
many months after they arrived, so I purchased the Panasonic. It is
clearly superior to all others I tried; the voice quality (recept) is
very good, still not as good as corded phones (volume) but
discernibility is much better than Sanyo; the base station is
excellent. The unit is light; there is little static upon angling the
portable unit. For the price, it seems like the best buy around. NB:
the model, 3910R (R) seems to be the Sound Charger model; this may be
the same as AT&T's "Crystal Clarity" etc.
