VTech DS6322-3 - Cordless phone w/ call waiting caller ID & answering system - DECT 6.0 + 2 additional handset(s) Review

I got the version of this phone that comes with 4 handsets instead of 3 (DS36322-4).My main reason for the purchase was that you can link your cell phone to it through bluetooth.This feature works well.I no longer need to carry my cell phone around the house.It has a custom ring and a visual display to let you know if it's your land line or your cell phone that is ringing.I was also able to easily download my cell phone address book so I can make calls through the vtech handset.Calls are crystal clear.Battery life seems good.

Sadly, the good news stops there.As another reviewer mentioned, you can't rename the handsets.That means if you want to page another handset, you need to know which one by #.You also can't do a broadcast page to all handsets (despite being called "intercom").Also,you can't customize the ringer by time of day.With my old phone system,for example, you could set the handset in the bedroom to automatically not ring at night.The menu options aren't very intuitive.I've had to refer to the manual many times.

The problems are easy things to fix.I would have easily given the phone 5 stars if the annoyances weren't there.I can only assume that vtech hasn't done any consumer testing or listened to any feedback.

Uniden DXAI5588-2 5.8 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets (Silver and Black) Review

This phone does not deserve one star, it deserves ZERO. The phone only works for 55 to 60 seconds before the call is cut off. Studied the manual, re-registered the handsets, changed channels and security codes, the works. Called tech support, and they say it must be interference from electronics nearby. Our old phones worked just fine sitting on top of the computer hutch and within a few feet of the microwave (which is where the jacks are, so we had no choice), so why couldn't these? They suggested another room. Ridiculous that we can't have a phone in the family room or kitchen, but we tried it. Didn't work in the bedroom, either. Of course not, there's a CLOCK in there!!! Seems like the phone thinks it's too far from the base (even when you are standing right next to it). Absolutely worthless. I sure hope Home Depot takes this load of junk back! Never again will I buy ANYTHING without checking reviews first, no matter how good the sale price!

Product Description:
A two-handset cordless phone system from Uniden, the DXAI5588-2 delivers a high level of signal clarity and comes loaded with features. By utilizing the 5.8 GHz frequency, this model can offer significantly greater range and clarity than many 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz phones. Caller ID and call waiting compatible, the DXAI5588-2 has a 30-number caller ID memory, as well as a 10 number speed dial for your most important numbers.
You can easily access the phone's features via the handset LCD, and dialing a displayed number is as easy as pressing the talk button. A page button helps you to find a misplaced handset, and you can switch between tone and pulse dialing modes easily. Handset and ringer controls let you adjust volume levels to your liking, while headset compatibility gives you the option of hands-free communication.
A low-battery indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its cradle for recharging, and a handset-to-handset call transfer feature allows you to route incoming calls to the other handset location. A built-in digital answering system provides up to 13 minutes of recording time, with a selectable 1 or 4-minute maximum message length. Memo recording allows you to record messages and notes for later recall, while remote message check lets you stay on top of messages, even while you are away from home. The DXAI5588-2 is also wall-mountable, providing you with extra placement options. This phone comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

Uniden TRU8885-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System Review

Uniden TRU8885-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets and Answering System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been wanting to get a 5.8ghz phone system for a while, but all previous models seemed to always have some kind of major shortcoming.Seems Uniden recognized this and came out with a model to beat all previous ones.
The 8885 and 8865 models are newer versions of their old 5860/85 lines.It has pretty much any feature you could want.
Just to highlight some of the strong points:
1. Nice phone design.Perfect size and not as ugly as the previous model.
2. Perfect reception.Anywhere in our house the phone is crystal clear.
3. Speakerphone in the base and from every handset.
4. Intercom/Paging between phones
5. 100 number phonebook (although it shares entries with callerid).You can keep separate phonebooks per phone, or download the phonebook from other phones.
6. DirectLink mode, where you can use the handsets as walkie-talkies.Although in my opinion the phones are a tad too big to carry around with you everywhere, but it might be nice for specific situations.I haven't tested the range though.
7. You can have the base + 2 handsets speaking on the line at the same time.The previous model was limited to 1 handset per conversation.
8. Customizable ringtones - can assign a certain ringtone to a certain caller so you know who they are.Can only use the builtin tones though.
9. Handsets have a plug to use with a headset for handsfree operation
10. Can access the voicemail from any of the handsets, not just from the base.
Those are just some of the major features, there's plenty of other little bells and whistles to configure the phone.
My only 2 complaint is that incoming caller ID gets stored on every phone.There is no way to just delete it from all phones at once.You need to go to each phone individually to delete the callerid list.Fortunately there is a delete all option.
One other potential complaint is that you can't set up separate mailboxes on the answering machine.I know some of the other brands let you do this.No biggee for me as I wouldn't use the feature anyways, but might be important to some.
Those might just be nitpicks though.This system really exceeded my expectations and I give it the highest recommendation possible.

Product Description:
The TRU8885-2 from Uniden is a cordless phone with a built-in answering machine, caller ID compatibility, and expandability to 10 handsets (model TCX800). It comes with two handsets, one that recharges in the base unit and another that recharges in the included remote charging cradle. That latter requires only an AC outlet, so you don't have to worry about additional phone jacks.
By using the less-cluttered 5.8 GHz frequency, the TRU8885-2 is able to offer a clearer, more intelligible signal than older phones operating on lower bands. Caller ID/call waiting compatible (requires subscription through your local phone company), the TRU8885-2 holds up to 200 numbers in its internal caller ID/phone directory (100 on the base, 100 on the handset), while the display-and-dial feature allows you to quickly scroll through the caller ID list and dial the displayed number with the touch of a button. Ten speed-dial presets allow you to easily call the most frequently used outgoing numbers, and an alphabetical search feature provides an easy way to locate numbers stored in the internal memory.

Handset and base speakerphones provide a hands-free communication method, while a direct link mode allows you to use the handsets as walkie-talkies. Four-way conferencing allows several phones to communicate with an outside call. An intercom function enables communication with other phones on the same system, and the call transfer feature lets you transfer calls from the base phone to the handset and vice versa.
The all-digital answering machine has a 12-minute maximum record time and a four-minute maximum message length. A conversation record feature provides a quick and easy way to save important information such as directions, while full remote operation allows you to check your messages even when you are away from home. A page/handset locater feature makes finding a lost handset quick and painless. Handset and ringer controls let you adjust volume levels to your liking, while the redial button automatically calls the last three outgoing numbers. The TRU8885-2 also comes with a one-year limited warranty.

I had a Uniden 2.4 system which was becoming more and more burdensome as we added wireless products.It finally got to the point that every phone call had bad noise so I went searching for a system that would be clear as a bell. I was going to buy a uniden 5.8 tru when I saw this one that claimed it was interference free, since my main objective was this, I bought this system instead, the results have been crystal clear static free calls.Its wonderful.
The pros:No interfence; very small handset, 100 number phonebook, hands free on every phone.
The cons:Made for British market, answering machine voice is lovely English fenale voice, only has a 24-hour clock (no am/pm)and date is day first month second, no charging light on base or phone.

Uniden CellLink ELBT595 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Flip Phone with Color LCD, Answering System, and Bluetooth Capability (Titanium) Review

Uniden CellLink ELBT595 5.8 GHz Digital Expandable Cordless Flip Phone with Color LCD, Answering System, and Bluetooth Capability
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was all hyped up about getting this phone and that feeling faded after only 24hrs of owning it. This phone represents a good try by Uniden, but I feel that it needs to go back for a version 2. First, for me, the ringers on this phone do not ring loud enough (with a few expectations)....Uniden does allow you to set the base station to ring, and it does ring loudly (too loudly at night) but that defeats the reason to have a cordless phone if you are attached to the base station all day. The LCD on the closed clamshell isn't very good. It is easier to read when the backlighting is off then when on. The hinge on my phone squeaked when opening and closing and the keys on the handset feel cheap, not what you should expect from at $250 phone. The software to program the phone is nice, easy to use, and made it really convenient to program in over 50 names and reminder dates, but it would have been nice if Uniden would have allowed you to download ringtones into the phone via the software and USB cable, rather then having to record it into the phone via a mic or a line setup. The color screen is nice and bright, but too small...its like 150 pixels X 150 pixels and the images you can download for your contacts become the size of a postage stamp CUT IN HALF!!Overall it is an average phone, not worth $250, maybe $160....all I know is mine is going back to the store for a refund. See you next time Uniden.

Product Description:
With the ELBT595, Uniden introduces CellLink, the latest cordless technology that lets your cordless home phone access your cellular phone's minutes. Of course, you'll need a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, and the economic advantages of using "free cellular minutes" will depend on your cellular agreement, but CellLink offers obvious convenience to existing cell customers. Plus, the ELBT595 offers a built-in digital answering machine, expandability to 10 handsets, enhanced caller ID with photos, an advanced phonebook, and recordable customer ringers--truly a comprehensive telephone solution.

    USB connector with downloadable software included

    Transfer/intercom from handset to handset, plus handset to base
    Five-way conferencing calling
    Software and hardware included: CD-ROM, USB cable, ringer record cable
How Does Bluetooth Work?
Bluetooth technology has been incorporated into this phone to make it easy to communicate with either a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or a wireless headset. You don't even have to think about it. Bluetooth doesn't require you to do anything special to make it work. The devices find each other and strike up a conversation without any user input at all. Now you can tap into your cell phone minutes to take advantage of your cellular plan, or just go hands-free using your land line for crystal-clear communication anywhere in the house.
How Does CellLink Work?
Uniden CellLink technology lets you easily take advantage of your cell phone's minutes. If you have a Bluetooth v1.1 compliant mobile phone and register it to the base, you can make or receive a call through your mobile line as well as your normal land line. To use your mobile line, press the Mobile soft key. The two lines will be completely independent on your ELBT595. For example, you can have one handset operating on the land line while another handset and the base unit participate in a three-way conference call on the mobile line. However, you cannot make or receive a land line call using a Bluetooth mobile phone, and a Bluetooth mobile phone will not ring when the ELBT595 receives a land line calI.

Easy, Powerful Features
Additional features include enhanced caller ID so you can see who's calling with a unique full color picture and distinctive ring. The digital answering system quickly access your answering system using your handset or your base. Volume settings adjust the ringer and speaker volumes on your handset. An advanced phonebook organizes your names and numbers, with special capabilities like storing four numbers per name and sorting names into groups.
You can easily update your phonebook settings using your computer with the USB connector and software included. Enjoy hands-free communication without wires using a Bluetooth headset or the hands-free speakerphone. Easily navigate features with a joystick and soft-key menus. Record your own ringer tones with the audio cable or handset microphone (cable included).
Compatible Handsets
This expandable base system is compatible with Uniden handset models ELX500, TCX400, TCX440, and TCX805. However, only the ELX500 is compatible the base system's Bluetooth and CellLink features.

Uniden DECT 6.0 Compact Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Extra Handset and Charging Cradle. Review

Uniden DECT 6.0 Compact Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Extra Handset and Charging Cradle.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this particular phone because it was the only one that has all of the features I needed for my home office phone -- voicemail indicator, belt clip, earphone jack, speakerphone -- as well as the usual things like speed dialing and Caller ID. (I was surprised at how few phones come without answering machines now.) This phone was easy to set up and program. The handsets can send copies of speed dial numbers to each other. It's also a nice-looking phone that doesn't take up much space on the desk. The microphone in the handset is not very good. My voice sounds overmodulated to people I'm talking with. I usually use a headset, though, so that's not a huge issue for me. One very strange thing I have discovered is that the Caller ID on this phone does not interface with the programmed numbers, so if someone who's in my list of speed dial numbers calls me, their name is not displayed. I've never had a phone that did not recognize programmed numbers, so I find this very strange. I contacted Uniden about it, and they say this is the normal operation for this phone. This is probably the biggest con from my point of view, because my coworkers are all at another location, and I would like to be able to greet them by name when I answer the phone. It's not enough to make me take back the phone, because this is still the only phone that has all of the other features I want. But I do find it very strange that any phone would not have this feature. I always thought it was standard. Everything else about it appears to work well.

Uniden DECT2085-2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle Review

Uniden DECT2085-2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had 2 good Unidens in the past, I was never too thrilled with my current 2.4GHz VTech system, and I have TWO different friends with 5.8GHz Panasonic's that they are ready to use for shooting practice...
I was therefore very careful in my new purchase and I've tested every aspect of this system in the last 2 weeks - it passes with flying colors!

- Most importantly, this 1.9GHz system imparts no interference to my wireless router, parked just 3 feet away... and while it doesn't penetrate a metal garage door if you're standing right behind it, I can walk out the front door and talk clearly until I'm halfway past my THIRD neighbor's house.

- These NiMH batteries have given me 4 days off the charger WITH 4 hours of talktime, and the charging seems to be 'smart' because they never get very warm, and get cool when fully charged. Oh, and the the handsets have actual battery gauges instead of just beeps to tell you you're about to lose the call...

- The speakerphones are quite good in both the handsets and the base-station, and when you've left the handset in another room you'll wonder how you ever lived without Caller ID and dialing on the base.

- All the various volumes and ringers are adequately loud and I find most all the controls and menu functions intuitive. The single exception is the 'hold' function, which ought to be a single key-press, but requires pushing Intercom, then Select and then Hang-up to stop everything from ringing... I also love (maybe common nowadays) the answering machine message indicators on the handsets and the ability to both retrieve messages from the handsets and also to monitor an incoming message.

As you can tell, I'm VERY happy with my new system, and I hope it lasts a long time (like my previous Unidens...)

Additionally, the display clearly shows the name and number of the caller in call waiting, even while you're already on the phone. (Note: to activate the caller ID features, you must first subscribe through your telephone company.)
Time-Saving Features
Searching for numbers, rifling through traditional pen and paper address books and hunting for lost handsets can be stressful and time-consuming. That's why the DXAI8580-2 helps keep track of everything so you won't have to. First, the 10 speed-dial locations allow you to access your most-often-dialed numbers quickly and easily, while the last number redial feature instantly dials the last number called at the touch of a button. Set your ringer to high, low or simply turn it off when you don't wish to be disturbed, and select the "Find Handset" locator key at the base when you've misplaced one of the phones. Desk or wall mountable, this convenient system is also headset and hearing aid compatible.

Average Reviews:

Update,
I have been using these (with 9 handsets) for over 3 years now.Zero problems and they are fantastic for its price.=============================================================
I did not experiece the two problems mentioned below by previous reviewers:

1. I have comcast phoneline & this Uniden system works great.

2. It comes with all Cordless batteries.It doesn't come with a 9V battery, how difficult is it find one at walmart/target.This comes with all the accessories needed.

I added 6 handsets.The entire house is co-ordinated so well:

Best features I love are:
1. Monitor any room you want in a flash
2. Privacy option prevents your guests monitoring you
3. Do not disturb button keeps all units quiet.
4. Global settings.Awesome - you set the settings in base, it applies automatically to all other units.
5. you can label each handset.
6. registering the handset to the base was a dream, put the handset in the base for 5 sec & you are done.
7. walkie-talkie feature
8. check messages from any handset.
9. all handsets have a red blinking light if there is a message. so, no need to run to base to check messages.
10. you can record a conversation.
11. you can enter your local area code, so when you dial local #s, no need to dial area code.

I just got it a week ago & it works like a dream.I will provide an update in a month or so.

I bought two of these phones and it is so difficult to hear the person that I'm talking to - I'm glad they were inexpensive because I'm going to have to buy new phones!

If you put a finger over the microphone it eliminates the noise, but then, of course, you can't talk until you move your finger. A headset helps somewhat.

Do not buy this awful phone!

Uniden DECT3080-2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle Review

Uniden DECT3080-2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For the record:I'm not affiliated with Uniden--I'm just a fanboy.Our family has owned every brand of cordless phones since before 900MHz was around.From our experience, Panasonic, V-Tech, and Uniden were all at the top when it came to reliability, longevity, and sound quality.Uniden has set themselves apart from the rest in my opinion with their consistent great aesthetic design and superior build quality.I bought the DECT3080 to have the best security possible for important confidential calls from work.The phones and base are smaller than I expected, but after looking at the pictures here again, I guess I didn't judge well.Don't be fooled by size--all the features are there.Everything feels lighter than my old 5.8GHz Uniden system, which worried me at first (heavy = well-built right?).I guess since these phones are more power efficient, the batteries are half the size (along with all the guts), so more weight would be pointless.They still feel like they could handle a drop off the counter, though I'm not going to try it.The user interface is very simple and well-designed; people who complain should read the manual!If you're not tech-savvy, get a rotary dial phone or don't complain.My phones recognized the base immediately, but if they didn't, there are straight-forward instructions in the manual for how to assign them to a base.Remember:This is expandable up to 6 handsets!I'm using this system with VOIP on a cable connection with 1.5mbps upstream.Voice quality couldn't be better--no echo, reverb, static, etc.People could clearly hear my voice AND the voices from the TV in the other room that I couldn't even hear.I'm not sure what else to say about these things other than this system is a great buy.

Uniden DCT 648-2 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets, Answering System, and Caller ID Review

Uniden DCT 648-2 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Phone with Dual Handsets, Answering System, and Caller ID
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Uniden DCT648-3HS
Pros
* Bright easily read display
* Phone is small and fits in hand nicely
* Message notification light on handset and blinking led on base
* Messages can be accessed on any handset as well as base
* Handsets can be named (example: bedroom, living room, etc.)
* Speakerphone in handset and base
* When using the speakerphone on handset and base the other caller couldn't tell that Iwas using a speakerphone
* Very good volume on handset, and equally as good using thespeakerphones on both handset and base
* Speed dial numbers can be assigned to numbers 1 thru 0 on the keypad
* Battery condition icon
* DirectLink Mode (a pair of handsets can work like walkie talkies away from the base unit)
* Room Monitor (one phone can call another and the second phone will turn on the speakerphone allowing you to listen in that room)
* Different ringers can be assigned to a phone number in the directory, so when that particular person calls that melody or ringer will sound.
Cons
* I was frequently getting a tinny sound coming from the handset.Also was hearing my voice in earpiece on the handset which is quite annoying.
* In the speakerphone mode on the handset the sound is constantly getting low then comes back.
* Only a 2 digit pin code for accessing messages (I wish phone manufacturers was use at a minimum, 3 digits.It wouldn't take much for somebody to guess a two digit number)
Conclusion
Uniden seems to have done their homework when designing their new 2.4GHz phones, but the issues with the handset and speakerphone detract from an otherwise excellent phone in my opinion.
Other Uniden phones that I've tested in the past have never had the issue with the tinny sound.I'm not sure if this tinny sound and the problems with the fading sound from the handset speaker phone are some how related.I originally thought that extra noise in my home office were causing the handset speakerphone fading, but when I went into another room that was quiet it still faded.I then thought that maybe the handset I was using was bad but I checked the other two the system came with and they also faded when using the speakerphone.Whether or not you can live with these shortcomings is up to the individual, but obviously sound is the most important aspect of a phone.If a phone cannot deliver good sound then all of the other extra's it comes with are pretty much useless.
So, can I live with the sound problems!I just don't know at this point.They are great phones..................but!!!!!

Uniden DWX207 DECT 6.0 Waterproof Accessory Handset and Charging Cradle Review

Uniden DWX207 DECT 6.0 Waterproof Accessory Handset and Charging Cradle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pro: Very innovative product, excellent for outdoors, especially pools and spas, as well as kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas. No interference from other devices, including wireless broadband.

Con: Does not display the current time, as the packaging leads one to believe. And it suffers from the same problem that all DECT 6.0 cordless phones seem to: lack of range.Those phones start cutting out about 50-75 feet from the base, or closer if I open my refrigerator door or get a motor vehicle between the base and handset. If you want range, go with multiple DECT base units scattered about your residence or stick with 5.8 GHz Spread-Spectrum cordless phones.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Uniden DWX207 DECT 6.0 Waterproof Accessory Handset and Charging Cradle

Product Description:
Compatible with all Uniden DECT 6.0 digital expandable systems, the Uniden DWX207 set includes a waterproof accessory handset and charging cradle. The handset meets JIS7 waterproof specifications, which means it can be submersed in up to one meter (3.28 feet) of water for 30 minutes without damage. This system is also impact and dust resistant, so it can truly stand up to wear and tear.
For smooth, dependable operation, the DWX207 utilizes DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) 6.0 technology for interference free reception. Additionally, the high visibility message waiting indicator lets you know immediately after you've received a message, and the caller ID/call waiting features display the name and number of the caller in call waiting even when you're already on the phone. (Note: to activate the caller ID features, you must subscribe through your telephone company.) The advanced phonebook feature stores up to 70 names and offers alphabetical search capabilities, and you can choose among several unique ringers and assign them to specific callers so you'll know who's calling before you pick up the phone. There's even a "Do Not Disturb" feature that assures you won't be interrupted whenever you need a little extra peace and quiet. For added convenience, the DWX207 is expandable up to six headsets.

Uniden DECT 6.0 Black Cordless Telephone System with Interference Free Digital Technology (DECT3080-3) Review

Uniden DECT 6.0 Black Cordless Telephone System with Interference Free Digital Technology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
(SEE UPDATE BELOW REVIEW)

I have used mostly Panasonic telephone systems in the past.This is my first Uniden product.I have used this telephone system for over 3 months.I have not had ANY drop-outs or "Out-Of-Range" errors that others have reported.I would assume that there may have been an early production line issue.I would be curious to see how others would have rated the phone if that issue were taken out of the equation.I have categorized my review features into Good, Bad and Ugly.

The GOOD:
-Terrific sound quality
-Stylish design
-Lightweight handsets
-Speakerphone feature on each handset
-Ability to add 3 extra handsets (6 total) simply by dropping them in the base for 5-10 seconds.
-Ability to customize the name of each handset for intercom ease-of-use
-Ability to page all handsets via intercom at once or one at a time
-Multiple ringers
-Organized menu interface and button icons
-Message indicator light on each handset
-Ability to check your messages from any handset
-Ability to send your address book entries to each of your handsets without re-entering them.The BAD:
-The handset will not turn on the back light of the display until it is taken off the charger. This makes it difficult to see who is calling until the handset is lifted off the charger and activates the back light
-Only a 2 digit code for answering machine message retrieval...not that secure
-Price
-The handset volume and speaker phone volume are very audible; however, I do tend to use the highest setting on both. It would be nice if there were a louder setting but I doubt anyone would complain the volume is not high enough.
-No talking Calling ID (though I have usually turned that feature off on my Panasonic phones because it gets annoying).
-No use of speaker phone with intercom. I'm not sure if there is a phone system that does this, but it would be a great feature (like a quick & easy baby monitor)The UGLY:
-I have two least favorite attributes of this phone system:

-There is the "extra" bottom row of buttons on the handset that have the same look and feel as the number buttons (This is the reason for the 4 star rating). Every other phone I have owned has the * key, 0 button and # key on the bottom. Or, if there are other buttons beneath this row, they look or feel very different or are spaced further down on the phone. This phone has another row of buttons directly beneath * key, 0 button and # key. This extra row of buttons is for redial, mute and speaker phone. Uniden should have made this row a different size or spaced it further down on the handset. When a telephone number has contains a zero (which is usually the button found on bottom center of a handset), it is too easy to hit the MUTE button instead since this is the bottom center button on this handset. This takes some acclimation.

-The answering machine recorder does not cut off when you pick up a phone that is not part of the Uniden system. For example, if someone is calling and you pick up another phone after several rings (a Panasonic phone on the same line for example) after the answering machine has already picked up, it will not cut off the answering machine recorder. You then need to manually delete a "message" of you talking to the person on the answering machine.

SUMMARY:
-I have not had ANY drop out issues reported by others
-If you can live with the "extra" row of buttons at the bottom of the handset and frequent need to delete "messages" of you talking to someone else on the answering machine, this is really a great looking and great performing telephone system. Overall, I would recommend it without hesitation.

UPDATE MARCH 2009:
For about a month, the handsets have developed an annoying problem. All 6 (the 3 original handsets from 3 expansion handsets) have randomly started resetting the time. After a while, one by one (never all at once), the handsets will reset the time to 12:00. I have tried resetting the time manually, unplugging and re-plugging in the battery and placing different handsets on different chargers. I have not lost power in the house and this problem occurs regardless of whether the handset is on the charger. There is no other power related issue. That is, the battery holds a charge fine for conversations. I am starting to think that there is some production run issue with my phones. I doubt it is a battery problem but that is where Uniden Customer Service wants to start. Uniden Customer Service is responsive, though their number was difficult to find: 800 297-1023. I would be interested if anyone else is having this issue with the handsets losing the correct time and randomly resetting to 12:00, especially those that have expanded the number of handsets.

UPDATE JULY 2009:
Uniden Customer Service came through and replaced the entire system with a new set free after we collectively could not figure out why the handsets were acting possessed. The replacement set has not exhibited the problem. I have really grown to like this phone and I even got another set. It seems Radio Shack had a unique version of this phone that came with 4 handsets. I got it on clearance for about $85. This new set has not exhibited the random time reset issue either. If anyone is experiencing this, I would recommend that you unpair and re-pair each handset to the base. I never tried this and it was not suggested by Uniden but, in retrospect, I bet it would have worked.

Kudos to Uniden for standing behind their products too!

Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System with Two Extra Handsets (DECT2185-3) Review

Uniden  DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System with Two Extra Handsets
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought this one to replace an old Radio Shack unit that was starting to wear out.Initially we were looking at a Panasonic unit that offered call blocking, a feature we wanted to stop those annoying telemarketing calls.After some searching I found this unit, which also offered the call blocking capability.After some serious comparison shopping we opted to go with this unit, which so far we have not regretted at all.It's relatively easy to set up, although the directions leave a bit to be desired in my opinion.We bought an additional unit for this and all three remote units easily synched with the base unit.One unit did have a totally dead battery in it, but it quickly recharged after being left on the charger.We can't begin to say how much we love the call blocking feature.It's remarkably easy to add a number, either when it's ringing or by searching through the call history.Suddenly our house is much quieter now and we can actually get some peace and quiet knowing this unit is stopping those pesky telemarketers.The one feature I wish it had is a lighted push to talk button.If you pick up the phone in the dark you can't tell which button is the one to push to answer it, which can be kind of annoying if you've been woken up to answer the phone.While the keypad is lighted, it would be most helpful if the other buttons were as well.We've also found the battery to last a long time, which is refreshing given the fact that our old Radio Shack batteries were starting to wear out.Overall we're very happy with this new unit and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a phone that has lots of features, a good price, and nice styling.

Update - 3 May 2010:I'm still happy with this phone although the call block feature fills up rather quickly.It only holds about 20 numbers, so I've found it has filled up way too fast.It would be great if Uniden would expand that capability as I have lots of numbers I would like to add to the list.

Uniden DECT 6.0 Silver Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID and Two Handsets (DECT1580-2) Review

Uniden DECT 6.0 Silver Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID and Two Handsets
Average Reviews:

It shows up CID right after the first ring, while the Panasonic does it after two rings. The Uniden 2080 does not show caller's name even if the CID is already in the phone book, while my Uniden 1560-2 does! Panasonic is the worst, it scrolls the name and then the phone #; plus, as I just said, it takes one more ring to get CID. When you finally see the caller's #, it is too late, the answering machine is activated.

Although I like the idea of normal AAA NiMH batteries, Panasonic stupidly force them to be charged in the stock charger only. If you put a pair of fully charged batteries into the Panasonic, it keeps saying (via voice) "charge it for 7 hours", until you put the handset into the charger for a while. This defeats quite the point, you still cannot charge the batteries and swap them.

This Uniden uses a battery pack, but the battery chamber is huge (designed for AA). I bought an AAA battery holder from RadioShack and, after some modifications, put it into the handset. Now I can swap NiMH batteries and never have to put the handset back into the charger. Love it. You cannot do this with Uniden 2080 that has a very small battery chamber.

Sound is loud and clear. The Panasonic has annoying background noise. Oh, you'll love the big transparent back-lit keys with superb tic arc feel and the letters are printed underneath - they won't wear out. The rubber key bars on 2080 are garbage.

Some other features worth of mentioning: you can copy phone book entries from one handset to other handsets. You can inte'com or page any or all other handsets and transfer or conference a call. You can make calls private to other handsets. You can assign 8 personal rings for different callers. Voicemail indicator and button, pause button, mute button, speakerphone button and redial 5 numbers.

If you don't need the answering machine, the Uniden 1560-2 sold for $29.99 from your local HomeDepot stores is a steal. If you need more than 2 handsets, you can buy two 1560-2. You can also use any DCX150, DCX200 and DCX300 handsets, but each cost $30. Although you can use 2080's handsets on 1560, they still won't show caller's name that's already in phone book. You can register a handset to multiple bases; so there is no problem to use two or more 1560-2 for a single line (i.e, extra bases are used as chargers only). If you like, you can use them like multi-line phones which are very expensive.

The only thing missing is headset jack, which I don't care but may turn down some people. One other concern is durability. My 900MHz Uniden just died after a year of light use. That's why I'm in this market and this time I looked at the Panasonic first.
