Summary: terrible sound quality
Review: like many of the other buyers, i ignored warnings and purchased this phone anyway because it had so many features. bad idea. the sound quality is terrible. people constantly told me that they couldn't hear me, i heard a hissing in the background and i had difficulty hearing people as well. i bought this phone about 4 months ago and initially it was fine. i especially like the second handset but at this point, i'm still looking for a good quality cordless phone. i don't ask for much. just want good sound quality. if anyone has any suggestions.... i would not recommend this phone. oftentimes, i had to call people back on my cell phone because this phone was so unclear.

Summary: dead in 14 months
Review: One of the handsets lost its ability to transmit, just after the warranty expired.

But wait, there's more:

These two handsets do NOT share phonebook information -- if you plan to store telephone numbers for easy dialing, you'll have to enter them twice. There's no way to beam phonebooks from one to the other, like some Siemens phones do.

We tried one third-party headset, and it did not work well. We bought the Uniden HS910 Headset (an additional $20) and it is only barely adequate; both its speaker and microphone produce substandard sound.

All in all we've been underwhelmed with this unit, and we're looking to replace it even though we've only owned it for 14 months.

Summary: Good for the money, but you get what you pay for...
Review: Pros:
-Easy to set up and use.

-Good quality construction

-Charges quickly

-Second handset is a "nice to have"

Cons:

-Voice quality is terrible if you are out of line of sight of the antenna in another room. Sounds more like a cell phone than a land line.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good, but quirky software
Review: Reception is fine and the double handsets is the major reason I purchased this set for my parents. However, the speed dial and call end buttons are difficult to use and the backlit display is hard to read for those without exceptional eye-sight.

Annoyances:
- Most cordless phones have one button for both TALK and END. However, this Uniden model has *two* and the END button is about 1/6th the size of the TALK button.

- Display hard to read for those with less than stellar vision.

- Speed dial is not as simple as hitting a dial button then the number. It's some convoluted set of directions before you can get it to dial.

- While the phone is ringing on the base set, if you pick it up, it will not automatically answer. You must also hit the talk button.

- Interference with my wireless PC network (all 2.4GHz do though)

Positives:
- Decent reception
- Dual handsets
- NiMH battery

Summary: Floperoo
Review: Second phone never worked. Quality of speakerphone was abysmal. We gave up on it and bought a different phone. Save the money

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hard to hang up!
Review: The phone has a large button to answer calls but to hang up you have to find a second, tiny button- I found it difficult and replaced the phone with a different phone after using it for about a month. I gave this phone to my parents who, just like me, disliked the hang up button and have stuck it back in the box. Just need to write up that ebay listing... The rest of the features are good and easy to use. It's a poor design element (just my opinion) that rendered the phone to garage sale status.

Summary: Uniden TRU-448-2 2.4
Review: This is a really nice system. Phones work well, although some people on the recieving end of calls say it sounds like you are in a tunnel.
This system has all the bells and whistles, and is pretty easy to set up. Calls recieved are very clear on my end.

If their is any draw back on the users end it that the owners manual is over fifty pages long. So this phone actually does almost to much. But we do like it a lot

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Price, Great Phone ...
Review: This is the best phone for the money, and I'd shopped around for awhile. My previuos phones were not good at all. The volumes was too low even when you adjusted it. This phone had no problem with the volume, it goes nice and high if you want. i also like the distintive rings that it has . You can program it so if a certain person calls, you can have a certain song or ring. The ONLY thing that is bad is that two people cant talk at the same time on both of these phones, so you would have to switch back and forth, but otherwise it has everything even back light, so when the phone rings at night you can see who is calling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best phone I ever purchased!
Review: This phone has got to be the best phone I have ever owned. I have always had Uniden phones and trust there quality. I purchased this phone because I needed an answering machine. The extra phone was just an added bonus. I always research every thing I buy and this phone was one of the top on my list. The phone is easy to use and the answering machine a piece of cake. I just have to say to mp3ed READ YOUR MANUAL !! You can have it automatically answer when you take it off the base. You can also set it to answer the phone by hitting practically any button on the phone. The end button is small but not a con on my part. Because of the separate button the talk button can also be used as the flash button. No more fumbling to find the flash button and hopefully catch that call waiting. I just have to say to the last person "you must have gotten a defective phone". I also should say that Amazon says that the phone is not wall mountable but it is. This was one of the main reasons I purchased this phone. How can you beat the price for 2-2.4GHz Digital phones and a Digital answering machine w/caller ID. I would recommend this phone to all of my friends and family.

Summary: Terrible quality
Review: This phone looks good, but does not work well at all. Even the primary unit has terrible static interference when carried further than 10 feet from the base unit. The secondary unit (which, in our house is only about 20 feet from the primary) crackles, breaks up, and screeches on every incoming or outgoing calls. Do not waste your money on this item.
