Summary: Range, yes; but usability, no
Review: After over a month i'm thoroughly disappointed with thisphone. ... The Talk button is positioned so that it's almost impossible not to hang up on your call if you put the phone to your shoulder. There is a constant whine in the background when speaking. While the range is good, the phone crackles and cuts-out regularly when well within range of the base. It's not my phone line causing these problems. Think twice before buying.

Summary: A good hockey puck!
Review: Because of a perceived quality issue, I hesitated to buy this phone but relented because it had a headset, which I use most of the time. The sound, range, and general operation of the phone were fine -- BUT -- you'd better own a battery company, or keep a car battery with jumper cables handy, if you're going to buy it. My conversations aren't that long, but the battey life was absolutely dismal. I bought a new battery and had the same result. (Yes, I charged each of them overnight without interruption before the first use.)

I replaced the Uniden POS with a Panasonic and have had no trouble since. I've even pushed the limit on talk time and off-charger time and have not been able to get the Panasonic to fail. Never say never, but I will NEVER buy another Uniden product.

The Uniden product gets a 1 star rating, just like leaving a nickel tip for extroardinarily bad service: it indicates contempt rather than oversight.

Anyone need a hockey puck or door stop?

Summary: Great for hearing impaired
Review: For years my father, a senior citizen, has been able to hear out of only one ear and uses a hearing aid because that one "good" ear works at only 30%. For the last few years he's used a VTech phone; however, every time he would put the phone to his ear his hearing aid would whistle. He would always have to turn his hearing aid off to stop that annoying sound. This solved the whistling problem but then he couldn't hear very well because the phone volume wouldn't go high enough. This Uniden is Great! The best thing is that the earpiece is smaller than that of the VTech and does not cause his hearing aid to squeal, so he can keep it on while talking. Not only that, but it has 4 volume settings (Low, Medium, High, and Loud). My father uses the "High" setting because "Loud" is too loud for him. I don't know if all hearing aids will respond the same, but it's certainly worth a try. I assume that all other Uniden phones with similar earpieces would work the same as this model. Thanks Uniden

Summary: FEATURES
Review: I DO NOT OWN THIS PARTICULAR PHONE, ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS DOES. I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT, I WISH IT HAD TWO KEYPADS....ONE ON THE HANDSET AND ONE ON THE BASE. I ALSO WISH IT HAD A SPEAKERPHONE. WITH THESE TWO FEATURES AND THE RIGHT PRICE I WOULD PURCHASE TWO.....

Summary: Do you hold your phone on your shoulder?
Review: I have this phone. It's great except one MAJOR problem. I like to hold the phone on my shoulder and walk around. I hang up on people sometimes three or four times a call. If you're a shoulder holder, don't buy this phone!

Summary: Excellent phone but...
Review: I looked at alot of phones before I bought this one. This is a great phone! Excellent clarity. Great range. Nice features. Fits nicely to your ear. Is not to big or too small. The only complaint I have is, it is too easy to accidentally hang up on your caller. This is because the buttons are too close to your face when you hold the phone with your shoulder. Other than that, I highly recommend this phone.

Summary: great sound; problem buttons
Review: I love the sound quality and range of this phone. However, it has a serious flaw: I keep accidentally hanging up because the large talk and flash buttons press against my cheek bone if I wedge the phone between my head and shoulder. I wish there were a fix for this because otherwise it's a great phone (maybe I should try a headset).
