Utilizing the newly ratified DECT 6.0 frequency band, the DECT2060-2 provides the clearest voice reception available and can easily be used with Wireless Home Networking (WLAN) systems without interference. This technology also ensures whole house coverage and maximum voice security. The DECT2060-2 is even expandable up to six handsets to one base, so it can grow with your family or business. Time-Saving Options Boasting a longer battery life than comparable systems, the DECT2060-2 is designed to give you plenty of time-saving options. First, it displays call waiting and caller ID numbers (note: this feature requires a telephone company service subscription) so you always know who's calling, even when you're already using the line. You can conveniently hold a three-way conversation between your handset, an external caller and another internal handset user--a fun and efficient option for talking to family and friends. It also features a 30 caller ID handset memory and advanced phonebook capabilities that allow for the storage of up to 70 names, as well as an alphabetical search option and your choice of unique ringers assigned to specific calling parties. Additionally, you can quickly transfer a single listing or the entire phonebook. User-Friendly Operation User-friendly and easy to operate, the DECT2060-2 offers up to 16 hours of talk time per battery charge, 10 days of standby time, and a convenient redial feature that accesses the last 10 numbers dialed. English and Spanish menus guide you through set-up and operation, and the included NiMH battery means you can set-up and get started right away.

Rating:  - * Terrible phone!! lots of noise and static!!! ... the phone has very good looks but it's the worst phone I've ever had. A LOT, of noise and static!!!, I really mean A LOT when I say it. It says WI-FI friendly but thats just for marketing purpose. I hate when I speak and some times I can heard my own voice, like an echo. I'm gonna try installing a DSL filter and see what happens, if I can't solve all this problems with the filter I'm returning the phone. VERY GOOD battery life. THATS ALL!!! not worth spending the money... DON'T BUY!!! Rating:  - * Almost perfect ... This is a pretty great phone system (almost perfect) with only one major flaw that could be a deal-breaker for some people. First, all the good points: Great sound quality, very easy ability to add extra handsets throughout your house without the need for any additional phone jacks, fully-featured phone with all the features that you would need (ringer off ability, belt clip, headset-compatible, speakerphone, mute ability, voicemail indicator, caller ID history, easy-to-use menus and instruction booklets)! Also, as you probably already know, the DECT 6.0 technology uses the 1.9 GHz frequency, so it will not interfere with your wireless devices around the house (computers, routers, TiVo, Roku Netflix box, etc.) that are broadcasting at either 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) or 5.8 GHz (802.11n). Now onto the bad news: The only major bad point about this phone is that the number keys that you press to actually dial the phone are NOT individual buttons that you can press! Each horizontal row of 3 buttons is actually ONE GIGANTIC HORIZONTAL BUTTON, which makes it more difficult to press the individual button that you want to press without looking at the phone. Although Uniden did indent the middle button on each row, it's not indented enough for you to feel where each button begins & ends. Furthermore, we have found that because the horizontal rows of buttons are nothing more than one gigantic button, the phone does not always respond to our finger presses at all -- we have to press VERY HARD to get it to respond to our button presses. This did not happen at all on our previous Uniden 2.4 GHz phone, because each one of the buttons was an INDEPENDENT & UNIQUE BUTTON. So because of the way the buttons are designed, we're trying to RETRAIN ourselves to get used to the very basic of function of DIALING THE KEYPAD!! We have to press the keypad HARD and we have to LOOK at the keypad to see which button we're pressing. This seems to be a very poor design choice on Uniden's end. But overall, the rest of the phone is great. Rating:  - * Great phone, one major defect ... Just picked up a Uniden DECT 2060-2 at OfficeMax for fifty-nine ninety-nine (USD) today. Two handsets, no answering machine. First and by far the most serious defect: As mentioned in another Amazon.com review, address book entry names don't override the incoming caller ID strings. Really, crappy, Uniden. I took two stars off for this. With this feature, I could put in names for known numbers that have no name information when they come in from the phone company. Second defect (minor): It was not possible (or not easy to understand how) to preview a ringtone when defining a custom ringtone while adding someone to the address book. Same problem when just defining the handset's default ringtone. How do I preview these? This is a bummer but it's ultimately trivial. The first defect, however, is a terrible oversight. Rating:  - * Uniden DECT 6.0 Compact Cordless Phone ... We have used the Uniden for at least a month and it has been a solid performer. We have all the bells and whistles with our last cordless system at more than double the cost and it was a horror to deal with. We have used this not only for personal but for business conference calls and the speaker phone performed well even during an outdoor call. I had 2 other business associates on my porch for the call and left the handset standing on a table and had no problems during a call that lasted over two hours. The intercom has also come in handy and most features of this phone are intuitive. The result: The BEST cordless we have had to date! Rating: - * FINALLY, a phone that does it all! ... I did extensive research on cordless phones when my old Panasonc 5.8GH finally died. I tried and tested quite a few but always ended up returning them for one reason or another. Then I found the Uniden DECT 2060-2 6.0 GH model. It had everything I needed. I did not want an answering machine and that is hard to find these days. It has small, well lit and comfortable handsets, a soft, easy to use keypad, incrediable clarity and range. There's also fun ringtones, a phonebook, speakerphone, message waiting indicator, caller ID, redial, intercom, headset compatible and it's expandable. I also needed to be able to hang the base on the wall which is almost impossible to find. I've had this system for about 6 months and have never had a problem with low batteries or being out of range. No problems at all and I plan to purchase additional handsets. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone in the market for a new cordless! |
Where the NBA Dynasty series (the other initial entry is the slightly meatier Los Angeles Lakers: The Complete History) outdoes Ultimate Jordan is in the six playoff games--one for each year--as they were originally broadcast, minus halftime and commercials. Having the nearly complete game (usually running 90-100 minutes, from the TV introductions to post-game interviews) means you can skip straight to John Paxson's clutch basket or what was expected to be the final shot of Jordan's career. Or you can savor each game in its entirety, all the better to appreciate the artistry of Jordan in his three-pointer barrage against Portland or his "flu game" against Utah. You can see other great players too, of course, including Jordan's teammates--Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman--and those opponents unfortunate enough to face the Bulls--Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and others. Because these are all NBA Finals games, you won't see Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo or his 63-point coming-out party against Boston, but the 1990s Chicago Bulls were a team for the ages, and merely having their games--some of them all-time classics--available for home viewing is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
While last-minute heroics tend to be the standard by which we define excellence, there are many other moments that have left an indelible impression, many of them highlighted here. The video clips fall into 10 categories: Dunks, Alley-oops, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Teamwork, the Clutch Shot, Moves, Hustle, and Buzzer-Beaters. At the beginning of each section is a brief introduction. Before showing the top 10 dunks of all time, for example, we learn about the evolution of the dunk--from the first slam to the man who could fly, Michael Jordan--and we hear background commentary from NBA legends such as Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dr. J, and Bill Russell. This video recalls familiar moments of NBA lore that you will want to own for countless repeat viewings. --Jeremy Storey
