Motorola 527648-001 Report
Motorola 527648-001 Review by Peter B (California)
Purchased from Best Buy and eventually returned. This phone has great features and is attractive and expandable. We picked this one on a whim at the store because it stood out as small enough to fit into a pocket, yet had every feature we wanted. We loved everything about it except for the fact that it didn't reach from one end of the house to the other. A phone that can't do that in a 1500 square foot house isn't any good to me. Even with the phone in the middle of the house it lost reception in parts. If you have a small or medium sized apartment this is probably a great choice, especially if you want multiple mailboxes. I do agree with a previous reviewer that there was static in the background which I noticed right away. It was more like low-volume white noise then static, and thus it didn't really bother me, and I would have kept it if it weren't for the limited range. A phone shouldn't have that happen either, though.

I bought this phone because I thought the three mailboxes would be nice to have. But when the reception is so bad that no matter where you put the base or how close you are to it there is static, it is not worth it. It also has a feedback that causes your words to be echoed back to you. I bought two of these phones, each from a differnt store to make sure that I had not simply gotten a defective one and found the problem to be the same on both. Also I charged both phones for 16 hours, per the instructions, before trying them. This phone is a failure. A lot of great features, but the most important reason you buy a phone is to be able to hear what the poeple who are calling you say. Who could use a phone for more than 30 seconds with so much feedback.
Motorola 527648-001 Review by Denis Volkov (Reno, NV, USA)
It looses reception easily once you get to the other side of the house. Motorola tech support had us power it down, etc, but nothing improved. Basically, he said too many devices use 5.8 Ghz frequency, so there's higher possibility for interference. I doubt that though, as other phones seem to work just fine.
