I have always wondered why Cordless phones had to be so big.
Finally Uniden came out with this new line of Cordless flip phones.
I don't know why...but I seem to buy 1 new cordless phone per year.
So, I feel I'm a bit of an expert on nearly every upscale 5.8 phone on the market having tried nearly all of them.
The best thing about this Uniden, and a big surprise to me is the GREAT sound on both receiving and talking. My brother actually told my my Uniden sounds BETTER than my corded phone. The range is very good as well. My only slight criticisim is you can hear YOURSELF a bit too much in the earpiece. I do like to hear a little of my own voice in the earpiece but in my opinion Uniden messed this part up slightly. However I owned the top of the line AT&T and V TECH 5.8 phones. On those you can't hear yourself AT ALL, thru the earpiece. To me THAT was very disconcerting and I felt disconnected while speaking on these phones.
So again The Uniden's overall sound is simply THE best I've heard...
As far as a FUN/feature rich phone I can see no phone being better than this Uniden. It even has little animated animals showing you time duration of phone call etc. I LOVE the downloadable ringer faeture. You can record 20 seconds of GOOD quality sound...and make it your ringer. For me just for fun...I have a Favorite Beatle song as my ringer. You can also assign different ringers to different callers....very useful.
Another nice feature is you can upload your favorite pictures to this phone and use them for the background wallpaper.
I can go on and on...but it's ALL good news with this phone.
I don't think any cordless phone can top this phone now or in the near future. As a side note, Amazon.com is a great place to buy this product! 24 hours after placing my order this phone went on sale at Amazon. A quick note to Amazon... they adjusted my price down to the new lower price...with a very considerate letter from Cus Service. I'm a big fan of Amazon...!
Back to this Uniden...
You will LOVE this phone!

THE SERVICE IS JUST AS GREAT AS THE PRODUCT IF NOT GREATER,THE PHONE WOULD NOT TAKE A CHARGE , I CALLED THE SERVICE REP, THEY TOLD ME WAS A BAD BATTERY, THEY ALSO ADVISED THEY WERE SEND A NEW ONE THAT VERY DAY I SAY THATS GREAT AND ALSO 5 STARS FOR YOU PAOPLE FOR GETTING SERVICE AS GOOD AS THE PRODUCT TO YOUR CUSTOMERS...........

This is the best cordless phone I have ever used. The sound quality is excellent when receiving, as well as placing calls. The phone is filled with features that are equal to my cell phone, with the same ease of use navigating through the menu screens. Because of the compact size you can slip into your pocket, or use the holster, either of which makes it easy to carry around the house. It is a bit expensive, but in my mind it is more than worth the price!

Absolutely love the phone! Wanted "flip" design, as whenever I put my other cordless phones in my pocket, a button would get pushed. Easy to use. Ring tones wonderful. Speaker phone loud and easy to understand on both ends.

This phone is amazing I had owned since 2005 and is great, it stop working like 5 days ago, but considering that I had use it since 2005 I think it last really long.

I think I'm going to buy this phone again, it just had amazing features that other cordless phones don't have such as:

- you can use your custom ringtone and picture for each person in your phone book.

-it vibrates, so you can put it in silence.

-The base as a battery backup, a feature that I found useful during hurricane season ( I'm in FL). you can still use the phone even if the power goes out. kudos to uniden.

I love this handset is amazing, too bad that mine stop working :(
