My first cordless phone was the best. It was an AT&T 5500. May have even been analog. I had it for about 10 years and it was bullet proof. Probably made by the last vestiges of Western Electric. I don't know how many times I dropped it on a hard floor with no effect. The sound was as good as the best wired phones. Clear signal with excellent range (whip antenna).

I can understand the cheaper construction of the new ones but I can't understand the lousy performance. The past few times we bought one, we tried several brands, got them home, hated them and returned them. It's hit or miss.
I used the 2 line version of that phone for YEARS.
Circa 1987/1997
