Summary: Outstanding in 802.11b wireless environment
Review: I have an 802.11b network that clashes with 2.4 GHz phones and my 900 MHz doesn't have the distance in the house. This puppy absolutely rocks on all counts. Plus one of the best features I've seen is the built in speakerphone in the handset! I don't have a phone line in my office and I need conference functionality. Plus the reception is PERFECT. I skimped on a variety of phones previously but this is worth every cent. The only gripe I may have is that the maximum is 2 handsets including the one with the base station.

Summary: Disappointing;Poor Reception
Review: I needed to replace my old Uniden 900MHZ phone, and so I decided to buy the newest Uniden 5.8 GHZ phone. I have always loved the Uniden phones, but this one was very disappointing. After connecting the main base in my kitchen, I experienced horrible static. I read in the manual that there could be problems when setting it next to electrical item (refrigerator,tv,toaster)which I had never heard of, but I went with it, and moved it. Much better. Then, I had complaints about the reception from those on the other end of the line. The salesman told me that the phone was tested for reception by walking across a football field and how clear it would be;I couldn't even walk to my garage without it breaking up. Reception is the most important thing to me and this just failed miserably. The handset speaker was a nice idea, but did not work very well. But all the bells and whistles were really nice, especially setting the different ring tones for who was calling.
It just was not worth [$] Sorry Uniden.

Summary: Great Phone
Review: I did a ton of research and it seemed as if buyers had good and bad experiences with all phones. I finally bought the Uniden and it is great. Took 10 minutes to setup from start to finish. The clarity is perfect, handset is solid, and looks great. I like the phone very much and would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I concur with the other reviews about how it LOOKS. It does look very nice and fits into the hand great. However, the range is not twice that of 2.4GHz phones. In fact, I would say that it is worse. I suspect the fact that it has no raised antennaes on the handsets or the base unit contributes to the poor range and sound quality. RADIO DEVICES MUST HAVE ANTENNAES TO RECEIVE/TRANSMIT SIGNALS, UNIDEN!!!One thing to definetely consider is that you cannot use both handsets at the same time!!! This completely nullifies the point of getting a dual handset setup. Batteries... This thing seems to go through a full charge liek crazy, even when it is not in use. I would avoid this product at this time.

Summary: 5.8 Giggle
Review: I bought this phone about a week ago and was totally dissatisfied with it. The main reason was its reception. Too much static even when close to the base. I get better reception on my cell phone. People couldnt hear me talk on the speakerphone or headset. The box says its a 5.8 but functions like a .05mhz. I dont recommend this product. I ended up exchanging it for the Panasonic 2.4 Expandable which im very happy with. No static, sleek style, speakerphone, caller ID, expandable up to 8 headsets, now im finally satisfied!!!!

Summary: Bad Reception
Review: For all the hype...I had much better reception with my older 900 Mghz and 2.4 Mghz phones. The static was horrible and my 2.4 carried the reception over much longer distances.

Summary: Disappointing overall
Review: The sound quality was not what I expected for a phone with 5.8 technology. People have asked me if I was on my cell phone while using this phone. The quality was very hollow sounding. The handsets do not rest well on their bases and wobbles. The feature that I was excited about was the speakerphone feature on the handset. When I tested it, the person on the other end could not hear me very well even when the phone was only a foot away.

Summary: Had to return because of low volume
Review: Bought this phone and had to return because the volume was very low in the handset, even with volume set at maximum. This may be a result of poor range as well.

Summary: Little things keep it from being great....
Review: Had it for 2 months.... I'd give it 5/5 except: * You cannot talk on more than one handset at a time. No more "listening in" on the kids talking to grandma. You must "transfer" calls from one phone to the other. * Answering machine only saves 10 minutes. C'mon uniden, memory is cheap. * Voice quality for OUTGOING message is bad. Seems overcompressed, "wavery" * You cannot transfer data (phone directory) from one phone to the other. C'mon Uniden. Siemens phones at half the price do this. On the up-side, this phone does NOT interfere with 2.4 ghz computer networks.

Summary: Excellent
Review: My wife and I are very happy with the Uniden TRU 5885-2 telephones and answering system. The sound on the handsets is like that on a wired phone; very clear. And they work flawlessly everywhere in our apartment. There is no loss of performance or static anywhere. Three speakerphones (each handset as well as the base) is a great convenience. Also,we find the ability to store 100 different numbers in each handset a plus; especially when they are used by two different people. The answering machine also has excellent sound and is easy to use. Was surprised to read that the message capacity is approximately ten minutes, and consider this a limitation. Most of the current machines have a capacity of 15 to 30 minutes. However, if we keep up with the answering machine on a daily basis, the ten minute capacity should suffice.
