Hi Dane, try looking for the Geemarc BDP400; it's a corded phone that talks
all its functions; I don't know if you're looking for something good for a
business or home office so this is my two cents worth.

One brand to check if you don't mind the price is Polycomm. Their big
market are corporate teleconference phones and systems but they do make a
couple of home office oriented models that are really solid with fantastic
speaker phones.
Best regards,

That I did, not bringing in phones to Australia - well corded one's at
any rate - it would appear.

Check what Panasonic themselves are doing? You might find an equivalent.

Had to finally throw away my Panasonic Corded phone which has done me
proud and has given good service for 12 years.
At the time the phone cost $300 I think it was and was an executive
model, offering everything in a corded phone that a user of a desktop
phone could want, excellent hands free, 300 number phone book which was
easy to scroll through - just scroll to the number you wanted, pick up
the phone and the selected number would be called, some speed dial keys,
music on hold, socket for a headset and so on, a pricy phone for the
time but when I compare it to the Telstra rubbish I now have? Well the
Telstra phone is just that, absolute rubbish.
I’m going to have a look on eBay to see if there are sellers up there
offering anything better, I doubt I’ll get what I had in the Panasonic
but one never knows when it comes to eBay, I’ll keep you all posted.
