Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
An expandable cordless phone system from Uniden, the ELBT585 offers an exceptional array of features and has a unique, cell phone-like design. Multi-user expandable to 10 handsets, the system can grow with your needs (model ELX500 recommended, one included; other accessory handset models are also supported). With 5.8 GHz digital technology, both signal clarity and operational range are assured. This stylish flip phone is caller ID and call waiting compatible, with a 100-number caller ID memory, as well as a 100-name and 400-number internal phone directory. You can also program the 10 most frequently used phone numbers into your speed dial for quick access.

Features:

The full-color handset provides access to all the phone's important features, while an included USB cable allows you to download pictures to your handset for use as backgrounds, or as distinctive caller ID indicators. Twenty preset rings are provided, and an included audio cable lets you record your favorite songs or audio clips for use as ringtones. A built-in speakerphone and dual keypads means you can make calls with just the base, and a page button lets you quickly find a misplaced handset.

The last-number redial feature lets you quickly call any of the last 20 outgoing numbers, while a mute button lets you silence your end of the conversation while still allowing you to hear the other party. In DirectLink mode, handsets are able to act as two-way radios, and a room/baby monitor setting lets you monitor another handset location. An intercom function allows you to easily communicate with another handset, and four-way conference calling lets multiple handsets communicate with an outside line. Handset-to-handset call transfer easily routes incoming calls to another phone location.

The built-in digital answering machine has a 15-minute maximum recording time, with a 1 or 4-minute selectable maximum message length. You can access the answering machine from any registered handset, while remote message retrieval lets you keep on top of your messages even when you are away from home. Memo and conversation recording allow you to quickly record important information such as phone numbers or directions, and a built-in calendar with programmable reminders helps you to stay organized. The ELBT585 is also Bluetooth-enabled for compatibility with wireless Bluetooth headsets and comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great bang for the buck!.......2006-10-09

Love this phone. It is everything it promises to be. The only small thing that could use some improvement is the speaker quality, but not a big deal. Great technology overall and highly recommended!

2 out of 5 stars Bluetooth didn't work and software isn't Mac compatible.......2006-08-25

When I received my phone, the battery was defective. I ordered a replacement battery but still could not pair the phone to anything (I have plenty of experience with bluetooth pairing). Top it all off with the fact that the software only works on Windows, my only option to load phonebook entries into this phone would be manual entry. The interface of the flip phone was something out of the 1990s -- kludgy and childish. The available ring tones are from the same generation. Aside from the technical problems that I encountered, I thought this was a pretty lousy phone.

5 out of 5 stars Great Phone.......2006-04-13

I bought this phone about a year ago when it first came out. Having been "hooked" by Bluetooth headsets when they first came out on the Ericsson T68i Cellphone, I was anxious to try a Desktop phone with buetooth.

I have not been disappointed with this phone. It pairs simply and successfully with Both my Jabra BT 500, as well as my BT 250V. I can literally be sitting at my desk at my home office, on a concall on the land line (uniden), and taking another call in the other ear from the cell phone (blackberry). This is great since being in software I have lots and lots of con calls to be on each day.

If I had one complaint, it would be battery life on the handset. I only seem to get about three hours of continuous talktime. The Jabra outlasts the handset 2.5 times!

Oh, and one other thing, while Bluetooth technology claims a distance of 10 meters, I have never been able to get this from a cell phone, not that big of a deal, as the phone is usually in the laptop bag or clipped to the belt. The uniden however, on a Bluetooth call, allows me to go from my office, all the way to my mailbox. Office is at the back of the house, so this is WAAAAAAY more than 10 meters. Has anyone else experienced this? I am wondering if you get more distance since the phone is plugged into an AC power source. All in all, this is a great phone, and I highly recommend it!

5 out of 5 stars Works as a 2-line phone when registered w/ TRU-8866.......2006-02-28

I purchased this handset so that I could use my bluethooth headset with my Uniden 2-line TRU-8866 home phone system. The bluetooth headset worked as expected with the handset. The bonus is that I was able to register this handset with my 2-line TRU-8866 base station and the handset allows me access to both lines!

Uniden is doing a great job on these multi-handset / multi-line 5.8ghz phone sets!

5 out of 5 stars Great implementation and easy to use.......2005-09-20

I have this phone paired with a Plantronics M2500 headset. The talk quality is great and while the distance is limited to about 10 feet, it is ok for me as long as you can use the belt clip to take the handset along for the ride.

The phone is very intuitive for those that have used cellphones in the past and I was able to do most of the set up without even looking at the manual. I had to refer to the manuals for bluetooth pairing and a few features that I could not make out, but within an hour, I had the phone set up, and even proceeded to record my own ringtones which is a nice feature. Just wish I could copy the same ring tones to the base.

For this first implementation of the bluetooth enabled home phone, I am pleasantly surprised that Uniden did such a fine job.
