Summary: This phone stinks --
Review: Difficult to program, terrible display and little small buttons that are hard to read.Voice quality is good, and size is good. But I definitely wouldn't recommend this phone.

Summary: One of the best
Review: I have tried a number of cordless phones from Sony to Panasonic - both with and without answering machines - and have found the Uniden to be the best for quality and options. The battery life is amazing; the calls are always clear, and there's no need to mess around with a channel selector; I have two lines in my house, and there is no disruption when the second cordless is in use at the same time; and I haven't yet been abruptly disconnected from my phone call (I'm sure there are some of you out there who have experienced that Sony "static, loud noise, and then dead air" feeling). As for the screen display, it is very clear and large enough to read the numbers and text without squinting; I don't have Caller ID, so I can't comment on that capability. Overall, the next time I'm in the market for a cordless phone, Uniden will be my first choice.

Summary: Talk button, battery problems - otherwise good
Review: I own this phone, and I know several other people who also own it. One thing I notice about our phones is that it's *really* easy to brush the Talk button with your cheek while you're talking and hang up on the person you're talking to. It's actually extremely common and annoying - to the point where I believe I've hung up on people accidentally 30-40 times so far this year, literally! I bought my mom this phone as well, and she has the same problem. The battery's somewhat limited, sometimes I notice that the phone does not recharge correctly when I put it in the base, and is dead when I try to use it. Overall though, it's otherwise a nice phone. Sound quality's good, range is terrific. But I wouldn't recommend it until Uniden recesses the Talk button.

Summary: Uniden Review
Review: I purchased this phone based on the reviews and from what I've heard about Uniden. Compared to some of the other brands, you do get a lot for the money in terms of features. Overall, the phone seems to be great but I've only had it for a few days. I do have two complaints/concerns ... I've noticed when I talk on the phone there seems to be a slight echoing of my voice which doesn't bother me all that much because I seem to forget about it after a few minutes have passed. The only other complaint I have is that there seems to be a slight buzzing in the background and doesn't disappear even if I change channels. I've moved the phone to different locations and it's the same.

Summary: This phone stinks --
Review: I've had this phone for about 2 years and have found many problems regarding charging. When I first got it, I found that it was wise to recharge the phone every night by keeping it in it's cradle, or it would not work the next day all day, but it didn't take very long to charge. The sound quality is excellent and it is comfortable to use and press the buttons. The charging problem got progressively worse and worse, so now I'm looking for another phone for my bedroom. I have this same model for our downstairs phone and haven't had any problems. That one is about 4 years old and I've had no problems with it at all. I think the Uniden quality on this went down.

Summary: Can't use an answering machine with it!!!!!
Review: So I bought this phone for my parents and they have an AT&T digital answering machine. With this phone hooked up near it, it caused a loud screeching and whining sound in the answering machine (recording and playing messages). After calling Uniden, their tech support said that this model phone was not compatible with an answering machine. What the problem is (after some testing) is that if the power pack (or the phone power pack combination) is plugged in near other devices, it causes interference with them. With the phone and answering machine plugged into different ends of the house (different electrical outlets and different phone jacks), everything worked fine. Even when taking a very long phone cord and having the phone line go through the answering machine, but plugged into different electrical outlets, it was fine. When plugged into close electrical outlets, there was interference. The closer the outlets, the more interference. There is no place that mentioned this and tech support at Uniden pointed out the section in the manual that said "Keep away from other electrical devices." They said that means that it can't be used with an answering machine. I was very disappointed. If you have no answering machine, and never plan on having one, it worked ok otherwise.
