Reviews of the Motorola MD681

CNET Review
The Good: Longer range and more secure 5.8GHz reception; supports up to six handsets; roomy handset key layout; large, easy-to-read display; loud, clear handset and base speakerphone sound; speaker in handset; handsets can be used as walkie-talkies.
The Bad: Short handset battery life; hard-to-discern message alert; quirky menus and settings.
The Bottom Line: Once you get used to this system's quirks, you'll be rewarded with a high-quality, highly functional, expandable full-home phone system for not a lot of money.
