Rating: - * Great Phone ... This is a great phone with excellent sound and range. I bought this to upgrade from a Uniden 5.8 which was excellent but one of the handsets finally went out. Unfortunately I first bought a GE 5.8 which was the worse phone I have ever had. I am VERY happy with this phone!! Rating: - * Great phone! ... These phones are compact and light, but have great sound quality, both send and receive. The speakerphone is very clear and the one button operation is convenient. The one rocker for Caller ID and Phonebook is slick and simple. The range seems better than that our our previous, 5.8 Ghz cordless phones. Battery life is great, and the ability to manage the phonebook for all handsets from one handset is nice. Rating: - * So small my hand cramps ... I bought it yesterday after reading good reviews here on Amazon. It requires 20 hour battery charge, so I've just been setting it up this afternoon. You have heard all the good things like this is the new, DECT technology which is supposed to be good. And it's nifty how one can easily copy the phone book from one handset to another. So, I'll chime in on my immediate complaints: There aren't enough ringtones (and whoopee -- Merry Xmas and the National Anthem as ringtones? Puleeze! That seems too irreverent!)to utilize the assigning to callers. Further, the base unit seems to have only one, jarring and disturbing ring (I like soothing rings), so I will have to keep that turned off. Further, I haven't yet found any way to use the base as a speaker. Can't find that in manual nor is it intuitive. I always use speakerphone, and hold the unit in my hand. This worked comfortably with my older Panasonic, but this Uniden is so tiny (about the same width as a cellphone) that I cannot palm it, I need to hold it with my fingertips. My hand is tired and cramping. I have had only one telephone call so far, and that caller reported that I sounded great, so it was good for her. Meanwhile, I have to go take ibuprofen for my sore arm (from holding the teeny phone). FWIW, I always have my mobile phone on a car speaker -- at home and in the car. But this hookup won't work with those speakers I'm afraid this isn't the solution for me. Perhaps I'll see if a new battery will work with my old Panasonic TG2226 which is a more comfortable fit for my hand. Rating: - * Speakerphone useless ... Bought this phone when the batteries in our old one started failing. Why do new batteries for a cordless phone cost almost as much as a new phone?!? In any case, we're heavy speakerphone users and I was excited that this one had a speakerphone on the base as well as the handsets. After all the setup, putting in our extensive phone book and charging the handsets overnight, our first use was disappointing. The speakerphone only works if you're head is a foot or two away from the base or handset. Another foot away and your voice cuts in and out. Past that, nothing. Our old at&t 5.8GHz speakerphone would work from 5-6+ feet away before your voice would start fading. Sending it back. A speakerphone that has to practically be held to your head isnt any good. Rating: - * HATE IT!!!!!!!! ... I RETURNED THIS PHONE FOR THE PANASONIC DECT 6.0 KX-TG9333T. THE PHONE DOESN'T HAVE THE FEATURE WHEN SOMEONE CALLS IT DON'T RECONIZE THE PHONE BOOK. LIKE, IF DAVID CALLS FROM HIS CELL, IT SAYS CALL FROM WIRELESS CALLER INSTEAD OF SAYING DAVID'S CELL. I RETURNED IT FOR THIS REASON. FOR NOW ON I'LL STICK WITH PANASNIC. |
