Sorry... 3 or 4 handsets all attached to 1 phone line.

Multiple line capability might be nice if we get something that hooks
our cell phones in as a second line.... but i realize that'll drive
the cost up.... and it's certainly not an immediate need.

It uses standard rechargeable batteries?! Sweet...
Maybe other panasonics do as well. (Custom batteries is a personal
gripe of mine... I love that the OLPC program uses C cells in it's
$100 laptop)

That panasonic looks like a 2.4 unit.... so it might conflict with
microwave and 802.11b/g/n(?). Any problems?

That's about right... $25-35 a phone.... The only one line makes that
a resonable price for new even. (heck we don't even need/have caller ID...)

Looks like the "multiple handsets talking at once" is called
"conference call" on most of the advertisements. What i want is say
for my wife and me to be able to talk to a person on the phone at the
same time, each from a handset.
