Summary: weak
Review: Address book entries reduce available caller ID list. Poor range. 900Mhz DSS much greater range. Very disappointing. It does not interfere with my wireless broadband router on 2.4Ghz. but neither does the 900Mhz phones. I would go with the 900Mhz Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS).

Summary: Don't go outside
Review: After much review - including Consumer Reports - I decided to purchase this phone. We were extrememly happy until we tried to go outside of the house with it. The static became untolerable during calls. Other than this the phone is great.

Summary: Great phone
Review: After problems with the 2.4 Ghz phones interferring with our wireless connection, we decided to try this unit. So far, the computers work as does the phone. It's easy to program (excellent directions) and attractive to look at. The range seems to be more than adequate for our needs. We recommend it for those who have a wireless connection in their homes (and anyone else who just wants a good cordless telephone).

Summary: Great Features, lousy sound quality
Review: After seeing this phone in Popular Science I thought I would give it a try. The phone is nice looking and is feature rich but the speaker phones on the base and handset(s) is terrible. The microphone on the base is actually underneath the phone. The voice quality with the hand sets is not much better. If you want to sacrifice sound quality for features this will work for you, but I'm going back to my old Panasonic cordless they are the best.

Summary: One reason not to buy
Review: Easy to set up & use, doing all it claims, handsets are a little large, but this is offset by not having a outside aerial, this is the 6th.phone of this type I'd had & the best !

Summary: Works well with exceptional clarity, nice features...
Review: First off, the looks of this phone are very attractive, and that is what lured me to it in the first place. After I bought it, it was charging and I read some good and bad reviews about it, and had my reservations. Well, this phone has very good clarity and sound, with the speakerphone just a bit on touchy side, but for being in a handset I cannot complain. Had an hour long converstation on the speakerphone toady and did not have any problems except some low sound at times, but that is somewhat normal. I give it 4 stars because the range is not what you would think, if you DID NOT know any better. There are so many different variables as to why or why not this phone will work great/bad for you it's insane. So, buy it, try it, and if you don't like it; TAKE IT BACK.

Summary: TERRIBLE SPEAKERPHONE ON HANDSET
Review: Had to return the phone because of poor speakerphone quality. I absolutely loved the feature when calling from home, but when I called to home from work, it sounded liked I was talking to someone with[$]walkie-talkie. The speakerphone also mutes out background noises when no one is talking, this makes callers think the call was dropped. Reviews I have read on 2.4 vs 5.8 GHz technology suggest little overall advantage in clarity, definitely not worth the extra dough.

Summary: Great Buy
Review: I bought the Uniden 5.8 model as a replacement for my old and worthless Seimens phone system. After having mixed feelings from reading the reviews and looking at the 'Uniden' company name that seemed almost unheard of, I decided to purchase the phone once and for all. Boy was it a good buy. I don't know about whoever said that the reception was horrible, but this baby rings out a nice, clear tone. The dual handsets make talking around the house simple and easy, and with the extra charging cradle, both my phones are always charged. The look is professional, and the glowing orange screen gives it a nice snazzy look. I love the way each handset is light and has its own 'speaker' mode. Overall, this Uniden phone system is great, and it hasn't let me down since I bought it several months ago. If perhaps you have a larger family and you're looking for a Uniden package with 3 phones instead of 2 that comes with a headset, check out the Uniden PowerMax 5.8; it is a awesome deal too.

Summary: Wonderful phone...very happy with purchase
Review: I bought this to replace my last uniden that had a problem with the buttons not *connecting* when i pushed them. When I went out looking for a new phone I was trying to get a phone without the same kind of lighted large round buttons that had the problem but most of the phones (uniden and all the others) had this kind. This phone has smaller (but not tiny) not lighted buttons but the large orange display lights the area enough for me to make a call if its dark. The large orange display is very easy to read and you don't have to be right on top of the phone to see it. Excellent! It has the standard features like *flash* (but the flash button is nice and big), last number redial (the last 3 in fact), speed dial, caller id and call waiting caller id, etc. A feature that I haven't had before that I appreciate very much is a flashing light that lets me know that i have a phone call in my voice mail. This is wonderful as sometimes I would come home and if i didnt pick up the phone I wouldnt know. Having voice mail and not an answering machine sometimes I miss messages but with this I won't. I didnt even know they could do this and I think its great. There are also different ring tones (like cell phones) besides the standard rings and I can't wait to play the holiday ring tone in December. This unit came with 2 phones and a base unit that you can make calls on. I wanted 2 phones so someone wouldnt be constantly be taking the phone downstairs when I needed it upstairs or visa versa. Now I have one in each place. Great! I could have bought a system with *add-able* phones but frankly this was much more cost effective. Many units where you has to purchase the second handset came to more initially (with the cost of the second unit being in the range of $50-$80. I am very happy with my purchase. This is probably the third of 4th uniden phone I have bought and while they were all good this one is clearly the best and the sound is wonderful. I cant tell this phone from a lined phone.
