Looking to replace my aging 900 Mhz phone. Trying to stay away from 2.4 for obvious reasons. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Don't get a Sony. Get a Seimens. Seimens makes the best phones IMO. Get one with remote handsets.

Edit: I know the importance of proper packaging :thumbsup:

keep the 900mhz phone! It seems like all modern phones suck and break easily. I miss my old 900mhz phone.

I haven't had a land line in years. What obviously wrong with 2.4 ghz?

this one was free after rebate up until a few days ago @ staples.com (details were at FW)...I got mine yesterday, and the talking caller-id is pretty cool...
