Horrible phone.......2007-07-09

Range is not great. Sync feature doesn't work with Outlook if you have Exchange (Corporate e-mail) so that feature was totally useless for me (main reason I bought the phone). Who has time to manually enter 400 phone numbers... Battery life stinks - it lasts about 20 minutes on speaker phone. And if you place the phone on the charging base to recharge it disconnects the call. I make lots of calls where I get put on hold for extended periods and I'm a slave to the phone unless I put it on speakerphone. It doesn't have the battery life for me to leave it on speakerphone and it hangs up if I try to recharge it. I have to juggle two phones which get drained to low battery in no time at all. Stupid design. Total junk.

Very nice...........2007-07-06

I've had this for about a week now, and so far so good. I've always had Panasonic phones and wanted to try something different. I like that you can customize by downloading pictures to the handsets for use with Caller ID and/or wallpaper. The ringtones are too mechanical, but there is a recording capability that I haven't tried yet. So for these reasons, and the excellent price I paid, I am very satisfied.

OK for first year.......2007-06-17

I bought one of these phones plus 3 satelites and they worked reasonably well for the first year. The main problems being range - some of the phones would not operate unless they were within 20ft of the base (clear line of sight) whereas others worked up to about 100ft through walls. After 12 months use, only two of the original four phones work - the others just emit hash. I've tried swapping batteries and reregistering them with the base but I can't get these to work.
It's a shame because otherwise they had all the features we needed.

Great Phone System.......2007-05-11

I have used this phone with a couple of extra handsets in my home for over a year. Setting up the phones is very easy using the software provided if you have basic computer skills. If you are setting up multiple handsets, and want them to have almost all the same info on them, you cand configure 1 and then copy that configuration for the others. Then just change the name of the phone and other info you want to be unique. I just bought two additional handsets to expand my system. Range and battery life is addequate for household use.

not pleased at all.......2007-02-20

i bought these phones..... very expensive to start with, but i was willing to pay because quality usually is something you have to pay for. they worked well at first. it took about 8 months to really have a problem with them, but when it rained it poured. i have sent back 2 out of 3 phones that i got and with the replacements they sent me 3 dont work out of the 3. uniden is replacing my entire set because they are under warranty but i shouldnt have to send back 2 out of 3 in under a year. lets see, the one is totally not usable. doesnt turn on , different batteries dont fix the problem...completely useless. the other one, the battery dies after literally 3 minutes of talking , and the third just shuts off in the middle of a conversation with no warning, then flashes on and off. like i said, i contacted uniden through email and i am getting replacements. maybe i just got a bad set. until they broke i liked them a lot. but i dont think id recommend them after having all the problems i did.
