Summary: good phone, lots of features, medium quality
Review: I bought this phone at Christmas and waited to review as I wanted to get in a couple of months of use before submitting my review. So far the phone has been reliable. Charge time is more than sufficient. I have 2 teenagers who constantly leave it off the base and it hasn't run out on me yet. There are plenty of features, answering machine is great - messages are very legible and very easy to retrieve, delete, save, etc messages. The speaker phone picks up my voice from another room - person on the other end of the line said I was weak but they could definitely hear me. I could hear them just fine. The back light on the cordless keypad is nice! Thought I would use the keypad on the base a lot more than I have. Probably could have lived without that feature. That's all the good stuff. What I don't like is that there is a slight echo on my end of the cordless. The other person can hear me just fine. Also, the date/time consistently looses time which is annoying as I have to keep reseting it. Overall, I like the phone, the features and am satisfied with the quality. I would buy this product again.

Summary: good phone, but it died after 15 months
Review: We bought the phone in Jan 2002. It had all the features we were looking for, held its charge, was intuitive to operate, etc. The two issues we found were that it interfered with our wireless computer network (I believe an issue with other 2.4ghz phones) and the gotcha was that the handset died 15 months after we bought it (right after the one-year warranty expired). Uniden told us to replace the battery, that didn't work, repair is more than the phone is worth. It was good while it worked.
