Thanks.


Don't worry about 2.4 or 5.8 unless you have a wireless computer
network. The 5.8 will not interfere with the wireless networks the 2.4 may.
I bought a 5.8. I chose Panasonic, but there are a lot of good ones these
days. As someone suggested you can check Consumers Reports (see you
library) but I don't recall a recent review so they may be a little out of
date.

You might want to modify that a bit since one of the standard variations
of 802.11, the "a" version indeed uses the 5gHz band that the phones
use. Fortunately, since wireless became popular almost all home users
opted for the cheaper "b" (and then "g") flavours which are more likely
to bother 2gHz phones based on their greater numbers.
