Good features.......2007-12-18
I used this phone for about 18 months and it was great until the speakerphone got a bit erractic. It is sturdy and my speakerphone was loud and clear before the problem. I ordered the same phone again, because it worked well and had all the features I need.
Works but Nothing Special.......2007-12-17
I've used this phone for more than a year and it does work. However, several issues to be aware of:
1) The speakerphone has poor acoustics for those on the other end.
2) It does have a headset jack but using a headset is not recommended. The sound is so weak the people I'm talking to complain.
3) The handset has terrible sound quality.
It does work and the speaker/ringer are loud (thought adjustable). However, the poor acoustical quality makes this phone unacceptable for a work at home professional.
Functional, with some annoyances.......2007-08-31
I purchased this phone to use for working from my home because it has two lines and speakerphone with a MUTE key. Surprisingly, I couldn't find many other phones that had the speakerphone and the MUTE key, so I'm somewhat stuck with this one.
It works. However, the sound is low and I'm often turning the volume all the way up to either hear the other party or for them to hear me. I'm not currently using a headset though I will start and I hope the sound problems don't get worse over the headset.
Also, I've noticed that there is no immediate disconnect when hanging up my phone which makes it VERY irritating when I'm getting another call right after hanging up. I can't answer, or it flips over to my 2nd line which is hooked up to my modem and I get an annoying recording from my modem in my ear when picking up the line. I've had to miss calls coming in on the first line because the phone doesn't hang up soon enough for me to pick up the call. If one of the $20 analog phones had a mute key, I'd be dumping this one.
Okay, not great.......2007-08-12
This phone is the second of two replacements for my last two duds, both of which lasted less than two years.
The ring tone is very antiseptic, and can't be changed. The volume is too low, and the keypad buttons seem flimsy.
But it's practically impossible to find a decent desk speaker-phone, and several other brands have done very badly by me, so I'm keeping this one for now.
If as and when serious problems develop, I'll update this review, but for now, the phone, though not perfect, will have to do.
Great phone for the price.......2007-07-25
I too don't understand why the poor reviews. I have been using this phone for two years now and it has great fidelity and convenient features. The reviewer who mentioned the drop outs on the speakerphone: I noticed that too, but it's background ambiant noise that causes it. When I'm using the speaker phone I also use the mute button for listening and then unmute if I need to talk.
I'm buying my second one as an entire cup of coffee just jumped out of my cup this morning and saturated the bottom of the phone, deactivating all the bottom buttons.
So word to the wise: Do not spill coffee on this phone!

panasonic phone.......2007-11-29
very nice item. works well. caller id is a plus. grat item and fair price.
Nice phone, but has problems.......2007-11-15
I just got the phone a couple days ago, and it's a nice looking phone with pretty easy to use features. The handset is solid and the keypad is comfortable. I like the lighted buttons in particular. The caller ID actually works unlike my last Panasonic phone that only stored the missed calls and didn't display the number after I picked up. The display is easy to read and using the 4 lines is very easy and intuitive.
Unfortunately I think I may have to return the unit. The problem the other reviewer mentioned about the delay in dialing is indeed irritating, but not a deal killer for me. The problem I have is that the Panasonic KX-TCA60 headset I had worked fine for my other panasonic phone, but the mic didn't work on this one. Tech Support pointed out that it's not on the list of compatible headsets for this phone. So I bought another headset that is listed as compatible. (both have standard 2.5mm jacks and are both Panasonic brand) The new headset works, but only with a mid level hissing whistle sound whenever in use. I tested the new headset on another phone and there was no problem.
I work on the phone all day and need to type and move quickly on 3 computer screens all at once. I HAVE to use a headset. And I don't want to go crazy with a hiss in my ear all day.
Also, using the speakerphone didn't work all that well. We had to sit close to it and talk into it for the caller to hear us.
The last thing I'll try before sending it back is to put a backup battery in it. The display constantly shows "Low Batt" since there was no 9 volt included and I haven't gotten one yet. Maybe, something in the circuit needs that battery even when plugged in to work properly. Yet another little irritation.
Keypad has Annoying Delayed Response to Key Presses.......2007-08-25
Panasonic has a design flaw in this unit, which is unfortunate, as it is the best looking 4-line corded phone on the market and is otherwise an excellent phone. The problem is that once the hook is released (or you switch from from one line to another) when you then immediately get a dial tone, it takes approximately an additional 1.5 seconds for an audible tone to be heard from any number keys you press. You an easily press anywhere from 4 to 6 keys during this lag period, during which time you hear nothing. Then it catches up and starts dialing, although still at a slower rate than which you originally pressed the keys. Our our four lines, on the first three we kept our original, trusty FIOS lines, and on the 4th line we put a VOIP line. Same problem all lines. We had another jack where we had plugged in a new Panasonic 2-line phone (KG-TX6700) and the phone worked normally to key presses. We plugged the 4200B into the same jack, but the same delay as before occurred. We bought a second 4200B - same problem. We believe the problem probably exists on the 4100 and 4300 phones as well.
We went out a then bought our less preferred AT&T 4-line phone (Model 974) and it worked like a charm. The Panasonic problem exists on at least two types of phone networks - Verizon's FIOS (fiber optic) phone lines, as well as on Verizon's VOIP service trademarked as Verizon Voicewing. I am not sure if the problem exists on the old copper line networks, but if you try this phone, be sure to test it.
The other thing to test is how you use this phone. If you typically pick up the phone and don't dial until the phone is at your ear (i.e. as opposed to dialing immediately with the speaker phone), then you might not see this as a problem, as it takes about 1.5 seconds to get the phone off the hook and up to your ear, and by that time, the dial tones will respond immediately. However, even then, if you switch back and forth quickly between lines to get a quick dial tone - then you will have the problem.
Otherwise, great phone, but re the above - buyer beware.
Amazon.com Review
The Polycom Soundpoint Pro two-line desktop conference phone combines support for two lines, three-way conference calling, and caller ID with call waiting into one easy-to-operate unit. Its well-chosen convenience and productivity features make it ideal for your busy family or home office.
Setting up the SoundPoint Pro is simple, following the included quick setup guide. A quick reference guide is also included for convenient access to basic phone operations. The slim handset is sturdy and comfortable to hold. The base includes 28 buttons, intuitively arranged, and a large-print LCD. The Soundpoint Pro has seven programming menus, including speed dialing, ring volume, local number storage, line selection, time of day, LCD contrast, and caller ID. While the ringer can only be set to one sound, the volume can be adjusted and the piano-like tone is unique and pleasant.
You can store up to 20 numbers in memory dialing, and you can import them from the caller ID log. To set up a number for memory dialing, we pressed the program button to display the LCD menu. We entered a number between 1 and 20, dialed the phone number and name, and pressed the program button after each step to save. To dial a stored number, we pressed the program button once, used the volume buttons to select the stored number, and then pressed the speed dial button to make the call. The only way to erase a stored number is to program over the old number. If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting, you can access these functions using the flash button and LCD. There is a 99-number caller ID log.
Other SoundPoint Pro features are a rear microphone, redial, hold, mute, headset, and speaker buttons. A conference button conveniently brings all callers off hold and into a three-way conversation. All buttons associated with conference calling include red and green lights to let you know the status of a call. For example, a red light means the line is in use, while a blinking green light means the caller is on hold.
In our tests of the Soundpoint Pro, we found the voice transmission to be clear and did not detect any background interference. Overall, it makes a fine addition to an office environment. --Emily Bakko
Pros:
- Supports two lines and three-way conversations
- Sturdy construction
- Intuitive button layout
- Large-print adjustable LCD
Cons:
- Speed dial numbers are not conveniently erased
- Limited selection of ringer tones

Overpriced & Underperforms.......2006-04-29
I was entering a speed dial number, had to refer to the manual. I had already entered the number and played the letter game to get the name in, back to the manual to figure out what "set priority tag" means, okay, back to the phone ... NOT ... the phone decided to time-out my programming an erase everthing. This pretty much sums up this phone.
Note that the phone is WARM. They have changed something from the prior versions so that when you pick up the handset the mouthpiece section that rests against your chin is actually warm to the touch, and you get a nice "warm plastic smell". Tech support says, "yea, mine is hot, too." Note that my previous phones were NOT hot.
This is clearly not Polycom's core strenth.
Little Disappointed.......2004-03-22
The quality of the conference phone is not near as good as the Polycom phones on your conference room table. You have to be pretty close to the phone and speaking into it for others to hear you clearly. If all you want to do is listen to others talk on speakerphone then it is fine....good for listening to conference calls on speakerphone.
Just Stopped Working One Day.......2002-02-23
Suddenly, after 16 months of use, the phone just stopped working. Neither the handset nor the speaker phone works and the LCD display has gone blank (but the LEDs light-up). I called the customer support line and they recognized the problem. But they will not replace or fix the phone without charging me ... since the one-year warranty period ran out four months ago. Obviously I am not going to pay ... for a refurbised phone, especially since I was never really happy with it. Its duplex feature never quite worked well and the mic was not sensitive enough and the speaker volume never went high enough. Overall, the quality of Polycom's home products are drastically inferior to its office products.
Needs more volume.......2001-08-13
I have one. The only reason why I am looking for a different phone now is because the volume is too low. Just like some of the other reviewers, I have the control on 5 (highest) and I still need more volume.
Poor Support.......2001-07-05
The speaker phone is clear but the maximum volume is too low.
Our phone stopped working after 13 months. Polycom offered to sell us a rebuilt one for the same price as a new one. Such a deal.
Obviously we are not happy.

2 LINE SPEAKER PHONE.......2007-12-26
THE PHONE WORKS ABOUT AVERAGE EXCEPT FOR THE CALLER ID FEATURE WHICH IS PRACTICALLY USELESS. THE SCREEN ON WHICH THE NAME AND NUMBER OF THE CALLER IS DISPLAYED IS VERY SMALL AS IS THE PRINTING AND WHEN THE PHONE IS HUNG ON THE WALL IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO READ ANYTHING ON THE SCREEN WITHOUT BENDING DOWN ABOUT 12 INCHES BELOW THE PHONE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PHONE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE CALLER ID.
