I'm currently using a 900MHz (I think?) Panasonic that's served me well, but 
it's time for a new one.

My wishlist is DECT 6.0, two lines (not two sets on the same damn line!) and 
Panasonic, if possible. I love their cordless phones.

KX-TG9382T. I swear that Canada Computers had these, but their website claims 
not.  I don't fully trust their website, though. :-)

I don't care about a colour display, but two handsets, two lines (for 
Asterisk, of course!) and a long and unfulfilled wish for Bluetooth are on my 
list along with a really good battery life.
