Summary: Great sound quality, great features, easy to use
Review: After finally getting fed up with my low quality coordless phone/answering machine I decided to upgrade. I looked around at various phone models, and after reading reviews I couldn't find a model that I was willing to put up good money for, I wanted 2.4GHZ DSS, with an answering machine and call waiting caller id, this phone had all the features I wanted and other phones from Uniden rated well, so I decided to give it a try. I also purchesed the expansion hand set directly from Uniden (you can transfer calls between the handsets and the speakerphone). The phone is very user friendly, and easy to set up. The buttons are logically located and the handset is comfortable to use, it also comes with a belt clip and has a headset plug. The sound quality has been execellent, I have expereinced no extra noise or interference (which was so bad with my old phone that I sometimes couldn't talk on the phone). The answering machine is very clear and can be accessed remotly. I have nothing negative to say about this phone except that the ability to add on more than one handset would be nice. I can recomend this phone without hesitation.

Summary: Great Phone/Answering Machine
Review: At first, I was disappointed, until I realized that I had plugged it into the DSL outlet. When I finally hooked it up correctly, it worked great. The digital answering machine sounds clear. The phone sounds great from anywhere in the house. Haven't tested it outside yet (too cold). I've been updating the built-in phone book through the caller-id function...very convenient (don't have to type everyone's name and phone number in). Good stuff. I also like setting different rings for various people in the built-in phone book. Locals I have set for one ring, long distance set for another.

Summary: Great until you use a headset
Review: I agree with the other reviews but when I use a headset, my friends complain that it is hard to hear me, a basic platronics headset with a microphone sensitivity switch set to max was an improvement but not sufficient. I have tested these two headsets with other phones without a problem. Uniden's customer service answer was to try their own headset but I fail to see how that is going to help when it cannot compare to the quality of the Platronics.

Summary: not perfect
Review: I am a foreign student. I just want to put some fair comment on this phone. The overall performance is good. Answer machine is very clear. You can use it one and a half block away from your house. The disadvantage is that there is some background static. It is not a big deal. But I am very concerned about clarity. If you do not care, it is a good cordless phone. But I returned it.

Summary: THIS IS THE PHONE THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
Review: I gave this product such a high score because it is the best cordless phone/answering machine out there! The range of this phone is amazing, I can walk a couple of blocks without losing a call. The security is unmatched,..., can't listen in on the calls with [a] scanner. Alot of other phones have failed that test! The shape of the phone feels like it was molded to fit your face, a plus if you are on the phone for a while. The backlit caller ID, and keypad is great for when you're in a dark room. I could go on, and on about this phone forever! Believe me, you'll see what I'm talking about once you get it. So do yourself a favor, and get this phone today!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not what you think!
Review: I just bought a different brand name and it was not worth it. You can hear yourself talking back into the phone and it has static. I will not pay that kind of money for a digital phone. I just read in the sunday paper that digital phones are not worth it and have alot of problems! I returned that phone and will stick with the phone I have!

Summary: Good Phone / Bad Sound
Review: I'm always amazed to see reviews of cordless phones where people lavish praise for all the gizomos, gadgets and features except for one pesky little detail--sound quality. I suppose a lot of people are satisfied as long as a telephone is fun to play with and has all the cool stuff. For me it's different. While I appreciate features I am here, first and foremost, to make a phone call and for maximum clarity. To that end, The Uniden TRU-448 is a MISERABLE failure. I have bought one, returned it to the store and even picked up a SECOND unit because I'd read all these wonderful reviews.

I was told by the people I called that it sounded muffled and low-volume. I tried changing the location any number of times, playing with the antenna and anything else I could think of to little or no result. I'm beginning to wonder if it's an overall problem with 2.4 gigahertz as I've tired out and returned about 7 phones the past year. I wish I could recommend a better phone or someone could recommend to me. But, for the mean time, I'm sticking with my ancient 900mhz.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Suspicious
Review: I'm very suspicious of the reviews for the Uniden's you sell. They're all so overblown and people write about things like how you can't listen in on a scanner, etc. Like they tried that? How much spare time do they have? The reviews are all total raves and for a company I've never heard of and of very inexpensive phones. I'm betting that the Uniden people are writing in on this product.
