Summary: Best Corded Speakerphone for the Money
Comment: Looking or a good quality single line corded speakerphone/answering machine - this it it. The only "con" with this phone is that it lacks a battery backup to protect stored phone numbers - not an issue for my application since I power the unit through the office computer's UPS.

Summary: Good Phone
Comment: The only problem that I have with this phone is that you can't totally mute the ringer. Otherwise, it does exactly what I want.

Comment: I researched and thought this would be a excellent value - it is! Message quality is superb - easy to read display - simple to setup. While it would be nice to have the display be illuminated, for the money it cannot be beat!!!

Summary: Glad I got it...
Comment: What I needed was a corded phone with which I could also use a headset. I bought the recommended Panasonic KX-TCA60 headset at the same time and they have worked perfectly together. I have a desk lamp, so the non-backlit readout is no problem for me. The keypad has a great feel and is easy to use. I find that I have had to keep the user's manual handy in order to use several of the phone's functions, which means that the layout is not totally intuitive in terms of programming the phonebook, etc. But I think overall this phone is a good machine at a decent price. I'm glad I got it.

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I purchaed this phone becasue I work from home, and use a headset that I wanted to plug into a corded phone, directly. I am currently using a headset/handset switch from Radio Shack to convert my current corded phone that does not have a jack built in, to accomodate a headset. While it works well, I wanted eliminate the "middle man" so to speak.
The Panasonic TS620B is a good basic phone, but the battery only feature was an issue, as well as the fact that the display has no back light. The voice volume was also terribly loud and could not be controlled. The most disappointing thing, however, was the fact that when using the headset, you must return the handset to the cradle, but also press the headset button, or the dialtone will stay "open", even after the handset is back in place. In addition, I noticed that after the handset was returned, AND the headset button was pressed to disconnect, after about a three second delay, the phone would reconnect on it's own and a dialtone would be present for about 5 seconds and then shut off. I noticed this because I usually do not remove my headset between calls while I am making notations. Also, you cannot switch from the headset to the handset if you need to, mid-call. My Radio Shack unit has a nifty switch that lets you flip from one to the other. So I'm staying with my existing phone, and keeping the "middle man".
