Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: After about two months of using this phone...

The good:
? Handset is lightweight, comfortable to hold.
? Five ring options available (2 ringer tones at 2 volume levels, plus "off").
? Easy to program the speed dials!
? Dial any number on caller ID with one touch.
? Rocket dial - a special "speed dial" that you use often, such as calling your voice mail inbox. Particularly nice is the option to program a "pause" between strings of numbers, which may be necessary when navigating through menu options.
? Easy ear volume control
? Time length of last phone conversation displayed (but disappears a few seconds after hanging up)
? Looks good
? Normally great reception all over the house, even downstairs, except...

The bad:
? Occasionally, when in one spot in our living room, we hear a tic..tic..tic. Some sort of interference, but not sure what since there are no electronics or other obvious objects in our living room that would cause this.

My recommendation: READ THE MANUAL before plugging in this phone. Get to know the features and you will love it. I have had nothing but bad luck with recent cordless phones, but this time I made sure to FIRST read about battery charging, maintenance, etc. and so far so good.

Summary: Still Searching
Review: I bought this phone after looking at Comsumer Reports ratings and opinions on Amazon as well as other sites. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well for me as it did for other users. I get constant interference and clicking noises, even when I try switching channels. The cordless I had before had a terrible battery life (the battery life on this phone is excellent, btw, which is part of why I gave it two stars), but my old phone rarely got interference unless the microwave was running. It also seems to be causing a lot more interference on our baby monitor than our old cordless. I've read a lot of good things about Uniden, so I'm planning on returning this one to try another model.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pleasantly surprised
Review: I have had nothing but trouble with cordless phones, and my expectations with this phone were low, however I was very pleasantly surprised.

I was looking for a cordless phone with caller ID and voicemail indicator, both features on this phone. The phone also has lots of other feathure that are pretty handy, like rocket dial.

The price for this phone is less than I have spent on other phones of much lower quality. The sound is clear, and operation is fairly straightforward. I cannot imagine how you could do better for the price.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: For the money
Review: I think this phone is the best that could be had. Limited as far as bells and whistles, but it has caller ID and call waiting, and a 20 number memory. Sound quality is as good as my Panasonic and other Uniden, and much better than the Sony that cost 3 times as much and ended up in the trash. It ranges all over the house. The only reason it only gets four stars is because the keypad isn't lit. For a lit keypad I might step up to the 5260 for the next phone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Easily the worst phone I have ever owned
Review: Poor range: you have to be next to the base for it to work acceptably and even then it's not that great, extremely poor sound quality: it sounds like a tin can, it crackles, it pops, you name it, all the unwanted sounds are there. The phone is basically unusable. Do not waste any time or money on it. It's a piece of junk.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: The price is low and so is the quality. I had a 900mhz Uniden for several years that I was happy with. So, I bought this thinking I would like it too. Uniden went cheap on this one. It even feels cheap. The sound quality was bad. It had a popping noise whenever I got a few rooms away from the base. So much for 2.4 GHz clarity. I sent it back to Amazon (who, by the way, was GREAT about taking the return and refunding my money).
