This is the second unit Im buying of this model. I havent been a big fan of Uniden products, but this has been outstanding. The setup and ease of use is very good. The buttons are all in the right place, and its easy to hit the desired control quickly. The sculpted buttons have a nice feel and feedback is good. The overall comfort and heft of the handset makes it a pleasure to use. The sound quality is the best Ive seen, and the range is surprisingly good... say 200' through several walls. Ive dropped, kicked, dunked, washed, and generally abused the handset far beyond what I think a phone should be able to take, and it's taken it all in stride. The answering system, while far from CD quality, doesnt have that annoying nasal garble typical of most digital systems, and has plenty of memory. Selective playback and deletion of messages is intuitive. Fast recharge and days of standby battery life so it doesnt have to go back on its cradle often, and the pager/finder is nice and loud so you can find it when it doesnt. I like the styling and the small footprint doesnt take up much counter space in a crowded kitchen. Only tiny flaw is that the flash button is hard to find and doesnt engage long enough to switch over on call waiting; its probably programmable if I took the time to read the manual. By far the best cordless phone Ive ever used.

Have not had much experience with cordless phones, but this Uniden phone is very easy to use and the sound quality is very good. I especially like the Auto Answer feature where a call is answered by just lifting the handset out of the base.
Have also gotten several compliments on the looks of the whole unit.

In my opinion, this is a good feature packed phone.

I have this same phone but without the answering machine and I love it. It's really wonderful. NOt sure what that other person is referring to because I've never had those problems. It could be his calling area or some other problem. The phone is crystal clear and so far very reliable.

It's everything a phone should be--clear, convenient, holds its charge well, etc.. I like the feel of the handset. However, the speakerphone .... It's in the base unit, so if you are dreaming of putting the handset down for hands-free use while you cook in the kitchen or whatever, dream on. Only one person can speak at a time with the speakerphone--if one person is on the handset and another on the base speakerphone (a common arrangment when my wife and I are phoning family), the speakerphone cuts off while someone else speaks. That is, you can hear them, but they can't hear you until everyone shuts up and waits a second or two for the speakerphone to turn back on.

I bought one new. Terrible interference when using a headset. Returned/ replaced. Terrible interence persisted. Terrible phone- stick to the 900 mhz.
