Just because everyone has cell phones doesn't mean the house doesn't NEED real telephones - if nothing else, for the intercom functionality.
I have a great intercom. It is optimized for the task. It is in the locations I need intercom. That is not always where I want a phone. And the new OnQ double-gang nodes are prettier than any phone I would hang on the wall and take no desk space.
Many systems, including Panasonic, have "hands-free answering" when calling a single room, but I've never seen one that allowed it with a page (multiple rooms). However, that doesn't mean there isn't one...
So there, it is not the "BEST" system if it can't do the simplest thing we use an intercom for. We never, ever try to talk room to room. We don't know where the kids hang out. So we page all the rooms and they get to talk. It is hard for me to accept a PBX system being as good when you can't provide an example of it performing the same function :).
