Customer Reviews:

Great looking, clear sound quality.......2006-06-09

This phone is stylishly built and has a pleasant orange LCD display. The speaker phone quality is clear and the battery life of the cordless is long. Does not let you down in the middle of an important conversaton.

Buy this phone only if you live in a shoebox!.......2006-04-12

PROS: I'll be nice enough to say that the phone is we built and looks good with the simple dark casing and bright orange backlit display.

CONS:
(1) This phone lacks volume in the earpiece
(2) This phone lacks range. Buy this phone only if you live in a shoebox and don't want to talk outside of it. Our older 2.4 panasonic with its broken case and antenna still out performs it.
(3) This phone lacks in the digital voicemail department also. Trust me... My GE cassete ans. machine would class in at this level only with a used tape.

All I have to say is never let your parent buy a cordless phone in a superstore unless you equip them with the exact make and model that you need.

Simply said... in the cordless world... you go Panasonic then Uniden or else!

Sound Quality Not Great.......2005-03-05

Bought this cordless phone with good expectations, but I was let down by the sound quality. The greeting and the messages are kinda muddy sounding, also, the message playback volume starts low at the beginning then moves to the normal volume level. This means the first word of your greeting or message can be hard to understand or even lost. This is annoying. I've tried cheaper models in the past that handle messages better.
The sound quality when I'm speaking to someone is only average at best, and when I talk a little loud I can hear some distortion. I'm taking this phone back to the store and getting another, perhaps AT&T or Panasonic.

Not bad, but not great.......2005-01-03

After first purchasing this phone, I thought I really liked it. It seemed very will made, and I liked the way it felt. I bought this phone specifically because I have a wireless LAN that uses the 2.4 Ghz band, and I read a review on another website that said this phone was 5.8 Ghz both to and from the handset. However, I found out from a Motorola salesperson that it actually transmits to the handset at 5.8 Ghz and back to the base at 2.4 Ghz. This didn't bother me too much, and it didn't cause any interference with my wireless router. My one complaint was that the volume of the earpiece on the handset was very low, even at the highest setting, and I had to often ask people to speak up. I was still somewhat satisfied, but after using the phone for about a week, it developed a very loud buzz that was audible on both the base and the handset. It was loud enough that it interfered with conversations on the handset and on the speakerphone. I tested the line with several other older phones, and the line was fine, so back to the store this phone went. I would have exchanged it for another identical phone, but the low earpiece volume made me decide to exchange it for a Panasonic phone, which I'm much, much happier with in every way.
