I'm looking for recommendations on cordless phones. Basically, everyone I know who owns a cordless phone hates it. The sound quality is terrible. Is this just something one lives with? I've noticed a few recent models in the stores claiming to work in the 900 Mhz band. Are these really better than the 49 Mhz models? They are a lot more expensive, like $300-400 instead of $70-150. Spending that much isn't out of the question, but I'm wary of new technology. They claim to have greater range, but I'm not so concerned with range, I'm more concerned with the irritating, constant buzz on the line. Also, I'd like to have one that's comfortable to hold, and most cordless phones are very bulky. A few of them have the "flip-out" shirt-pocket cellular style. This is more convenient for transportation, but how is it in actual use? Has anyone tried connecting a hands-free headset to a cordless phone?
