After reading many reviews on phones, it seemed like each one had some drawback that I didn't want to deal with. Uniden seemed to be the closest match for what I needed, but each reviewed model had something lacking. I took a chance on this one and am pleasantly surprised.

The phone is decked out with everything that was important to me:

- It is compact, easy to use, has clear reception, excellent sound quality and good range.
- The speakerphone doesn't produce a hollow sound.
- The handsets can share a stored phonebook (i.e., you don't have to save numbers into each handset individually, but can just copy them over).
- More than one handset can join in an existing conversation.
- The handsets can act as intercoms with each other.

It is all there.

It also has some features that are nice to have:

- Selectable backlight color
- Multiple different ringtones
- Ability to record a custom ringtone
- Capability of having personalized ringtones (assign a ringtone for when someone specific is calling)

It avoids many of the pitfalls of other phones that I saw in reviews:

- Rechargeable battery is Lithium Ion, not something with a shorter life or that will produce a "memory" like a Ni-Cd.
- The cost of a replacement battery is not outrageous.
- Ability to disable the audible message alert (to be read: not have the machine beep at you annoyingly in the case you are screening calls while at home)
- Answering machine is easy to access via the handset, not difficult to figure out and deleting messages works intuitively

The only drawbacks I have experienced are relatively minor:

- Beltclip is much like a cellphone (more like a cradle than just a clip), so it doesn't allow the phone to fit back into the charging base and must be removed. It is easy to do, it is just a minor inconvenience.
- Maximum number of handsets is four. Although this works fine for my home, if you need more, this system won't handle it.
- Despite being on the 2.4 GHz frequency, I haven't seen any interference issues with my wireless home network. I do, however, experience some static if the microwave is being used.

Overall it is a solid phone and I'd highly recommend it.

This is a 2004 model cordless phone. Because of the long life on the shelf the battery may not be useable. I had to replace mine before I could use it. I knew this might happen before I ordered it. The seller made an adjustment on the battery after I notified them. I ordered this phone because I had one like it before and liked it very much because of its small size. I can carry it in my pocket like a cell phone. It has good range and lockable keypad that keep it from getting turned on by mistake.

I really like the phone. The only problem I have with the phone is the caller ID. If someone calls from the same number twice, it only shows on the caller ID once. It does not register the same number more than once. Other than that, the phone is great.

Got this phone for $39.99 from Amazon, overall a good phone, works great, no problem with my Wifi network.

Here is something i don't like:

The build qulity isn't very good, it feels like cheap plastic.
The buttons are not backlit.
The sound qulity is not as good as most corded phones.

This phone is just like a regular phone, the only difference is, it slides up and down and it is small.
