Summary: Finally a simple, well-performing and good-looking phone!
Comment: We've been using these phones for about a month after struggling with a multi-handset Seimens system for the past few years. One of the best things about these phones is the nicely designed bases and phones, with only a few simple buttons and nice, clean finishes. The handset menu structure and number directory are straight-forward. One of the greatest things is the built in answering machine, which works really well and is equally easy to check messages from using either the base or the handsets. When you have a message waiting, you get both a red LED and an occasional beep, so you can't miss a message. Listening, skipping, rewinding and deleting are all one-button operations. Sound quality and range is excellent. We have experienced no dropped calls, out-of-range errors or interference. The only thing I don't like is the choice of ring tones, which are not very pleasant.

Summary: Very good overall, but lame phonebook/CID integration
Comment: Overall I like this phone a lot. The call quality and features in general are fine, and the styling is much better than that with the generic/ugly Panasonic, etc. choices.

The only disappointment is that incoming calls do not match entries in the phone book (so, it doesn't show the name you've entered, but only what the phone co sends in CID). Uniden confirms this with:

"The caller id will only display the information how it is sent from the phone company. It will not display how it is stored in the phone book."

This is pretty lame since (a) none of the CID entries I've seen so far include any name whatsoever, and (b) the five-year-old Sony I replaced did this properly.

Summary: Drops calls. Gets progressively worse.
Comment: It's a Uniden Phone, so we expected great things. They look nice, they're easy to use, and they're loaded with features. My wife loved the color-coded screen. After about 6 weeks we began to see problems. It would say "out of range" when we were in the same room as the base. Then it started loosing signal during a call. We could hear them, they couldn't hear us. Then it stopped picking up calls. We tested the problems using a vTech phone we have in the basement. It was definitely a problem with the Uniden phones. I didn't believe the other reviews at first - thinking it was a conflict with a wireless network or something, but it's true. These phones have problems. Big problems. For the cost - they should be unbreakable. Save the money. Go with the utilitarian looking Panasonic phones.

Summary: Great phone system
Comment: I have used mostly Panasonic telephone systems in the past. This is my first Uniden product. I have used this telephone system for over 2 months. I have not had ANY drop-outs or "Out-Of-Range" errors that others have reported. I would assume that there may have been an early production line issue. I would be curious to see how others would have rated the phone if that issue were taken out of the equation. I have categorized my review features into Good, Bad and Ugly.

The GOOD:
-Terrific sound quality
-Stylish design
-Lightweight handsets
-Speakerphone feature on each handset
-Ability to add 3 extra handsets (6 total) simply by dropping them in the base for 5-10 seconds.
-Ability to customize the name of each handset for intercom ease-of-use
-Ability to page all handsets via intercom at once or one at a time
-Multiple ringers
-Organized menu interface and button icons
-Message indicator light on each handset
-Ability to check your messages from any handset
-Ability to send your address book entries to each of your handsets without re-entering them.


The BAD:
-The handset will not turn on the back light of the display until it is taken off the charger. This makes it difficult to see who is calling until the handset is lifted off the charger and activates the back light
-Only a 2 digit code for answering machine message retrieval...not that secure
-Price
-The handset volume and speaker phone volume are very audible; however, I do tend to use the highest setting on both. It would be nice if there were a louder setting but I doubt anyone would complain the volume is not high enough.
-No talking Calling ID (though I have usually turned that feature off on my Panasonic phones because it gets annoying).
-No use of speaker phone with intercom. I'm not sure if there is a phone system that does this, but it would be a great feature (like a quick & easy baby monitor)


The UGLY:
-I have two least favorite attributes of this phone system:

-There is the "extra" bottom row of buttons on the handset that have the same look and feel as the number buttons (This is the reason for the 4 star rating). Every other phone I have owned has the * key, 0 button and # key on the bottom. Or, if there are other buttons beneath this row, they look or feel very different or are spaced further down on the phone. This phone has another row of buttons directly beneath * key, 0 button and # key. This extra row of buttons is for redial, mute and speaker phone. Uniden should have made this row a different size or spaced it further down on the handset. When a telephone number has contains a zero (which is usually the button found on bottom center of a handset), it is too easy to hit the MUTE button instead since this is the bottom center button on this handset. This takes some acclimation.

-The answering machine recorder does not cut off when you pick up a phone that is not part of the Uniden system. For example, if someone is calling and you pick up another phone after several rings (a Panasonic phone on the same line for example) after the answering machine has already picked up, it will not cut off the answering machine recorder. You then need to manually delete a "message" of you talking to the person on the answering machine.

SUMMARY:
-I have not had ANY drop out issues reported by others
-If you can live with the "extra" row of buttons at the bottom of the handset and frequent need to delete "messages" of you talking to someone else on the answering machine, this is really a great looking and great performing telephone system. Overall, I would recommend it without hesitation.

Summary: Talk with Taylor, Cause this is a great phone!
Comment: I have owned many phones from many different companies and in almost any model you can imagine. I have to say that this one is of the best. The design is sleek and very light weight, the colors are vibrant, the features are many and the sound quality is superb on both speaker and regular talk function. You can access the answering machine through the handset without going to the base. You can check messages of course while you are away from home. You can assign names to the telephone for each room. There is a privacy mode feature that prevents others from listening in or disrupting a call while in use. You can change the wallpaper and color scheme much like a cellular phone and the time on the phone is very large so you do not need to squint or reach for reading glasses to see it. You can use the pre-recorded function for the answering machine, record your own message or even set it to announce only. You can dial into your voice mail with a touch of a button if you have it and there is a key that you push that activates the answering machine mode. The phone book stores many numbers and when you hit the first letter of any entry the name pops up you hit the green talk key, and it begins to dial. The menu is easy to navigate. I have no issues with dropped calls,interference or anything else, and I have a lot of electronics near one another. I cannot think of the other features now but there are others. I'm very happy that I ordered this phone. I ordered mine from BestBuy online on a Tuesday and UPS delivered it on Thursday. The only thing I miss is that this phone does not have the talking caller ID feature like some Panasonic models. I purchased a caller id box that has this function and am good to go!
