This review is from: Uniden DECT3080-2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle (Office Product)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but not quite perfect, September 24, 2008

I had static when I first used this phone. I got my return authorization from Amazon and packaged it up before I noticed that I'd forgotten to put the DSL filter on the line. Since then the phone has been perfect from a reception standpoint.

I really appreciate the ability to name each phone. I can then then page it by name rather than by number. I haven't seen another phone with that feature. I also bought this phone for the multibase capability, but it's been completely unnecessary. The base is at the back of the first floor and reception is perfect at the front of the third floor.



Pros:
- It actually looks pretty good for a phone.
- Multibase
- Very clear call quality
- Can name phones and change display background (more choices would be nice)
- Can use names in intercom
- Can send phonebook between phones

Cons:
- None compared to other systems I've used

Features I'd still like to see:
- A shared phonebook
- The ability to intercom a specific person (i.e. have a specific ring for my daughter)

He who spends too much (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Uniden DECT3080-2 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone/Answering System with One Extra Handset/Cradle (Office Product)

I wanted a phone that had a clean and minimalist design/look, wouldn't interfere with either of my wireless networks (I have both a 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz wireless network running in my apartment), good range and call clarity.

Right now, I'm approximately 3 feet from the base, with the handset in my hand, and it's telling me that I'm out of range? The battery is fully charged - I haven't even called anyone yet!

I was thinking that I may have gotten a dud, though, some other reviewers from a competitor's website are reporting the same issue. This is going back, first thing, next week.
