Summary: Great Phone
Review: Although unrated by Consumer Reports, the other Uniden products were highly appraised. So I was very discouraged and disappointed by its performance.My sense is that the "cordless" aspect of the phone (900 MHz DSS) works quite well. It is everything else about the phone that stinks! 1) The acoustics on the phone are awful. The speaker sounds awful, and the microphone is incredibly tinny. I would expect better performance from a $...phone. Also, the location of the mic (microphone) is quite poor. When friends & relatives call, they all comment on how poor we sound (using the Uniden 3965). 2) There is a huge time delay when picking up the phone before the phone becomes active. We will be saying "Hello Hello", while the caller can't hear us. Once or twice, the caller has inadvertently hung up. 3) Lots of other small anoyances. For example, it has the num pad on the base unit (nice for using using voice-mail). However, if one selects this key pad, then all audio goes through the base unit and not the head set. Pretty poorly designed! I would have returned this to Amazon if I had not exceeded the 30 day limit (I had procastinated setting it up). My loss!

Summary: Great Phone
Review: I bought this telephone a few years back as a new year's gift for my husband. Our previous phone was 2.4 Ghz and always interfering with our wireless setup. The range on this phone is just fine, just dont bring it into your mechanical room and you'll be fine. We've had no complaints at all with this telephone. It features different types of rings so I can always tell when it's my mother calling me. And the speakerphone feature is awesome. Clear and clean. Folks on the other end of course know you're on speakerphone but it cuts back and forth between their conversation and yours very easily.

Summary: good & bad
Review: The good part was the excellent performance and the bad part is the handset
ceased to function. Presently, I am looking for a replacement.

Summary: Adequate but not polished
Review: This phone works as claimed, but has rough edges that left me unimpressed. The speakerphone (even with Mute on) has minor dropouts, seemingly at loud points, as if the amplifier circuit is underpowered. The handset also has dropouts, at random points (even during silence) - these are minor and won't interfere with conversation, but are annoying. The signal on the headset is also very noisy; for comparison an older Sony 900 MHz DSS phone has much less noise and equal clarity. This phone works fairly well with the Plantronics M175 headset, though mic sensitivity could be better. Speakerphone sensitivity also could be better.
