4.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Phone, August 13, 2002

By A Customer

I had been searching for a 2.4GHZ phone, with integrated answering machine, for the last month and have researched all of them. I've owned Sony's, Panasonic's, V-Tech's, AT&T's, etc, and I was never too pleased with the sound quality of these products. After reading some comparisons, and checking with Consumer Reports, I decided to purchase the Uniden TRU-448-2. The sound quality is great. The set-up process is simple, and the owners manual is very in-depth. I would have given this phone 5 stars, but it's limited expandibility held me back. Overall this is a great phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best phone I ever purchased!, February 16, 2003

By	Derek Crawford "D" (New Windsor, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This phone has got to be the best phone I have ever owned. I have always had Uniden phones and trust there quality. I purchased this phone because I needed an answering machine. The extra phone was just an added bonus. I always research every thing I buy and this phone was one of the top on my list. The phone is easy to use and the answering machine a piece of cake. I just have to say to mp3ed READ YOUR MANUAL !! You can have it automatically answer when you take it off the base. You can also set it to answer the phone by hitting practically any button on the phone. The end button is small but not a con on my part. Because of the separate button the talk button can also be used as the flash button. No more fumbling to find the flash button and hopefully catch that call waiting. I just have to say to the last person "you must have gotten a defective phone". I also should say that Amazon says that the phone is not wall mountable but it is. This was one of the main reasons I purchased this phone. How can you beat the price for 2-2.4GHz Digital phones and a Digital answering machine w/caller ID. I would recommend this phone to all of my friends and family.

2.0 out of 5 stars nice features, terrible user interface, November 26, 2002

By	W. Welch (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this seems like a nice phone, with an amazing feature set. that's what it says right here on the box. but nobody seems upset about how incredibly difficult this phone is to use. there's no single glaring flaw, just a big pile of inconveniences that add up to a beastly little phone. i really, really wanted to like this phone, but i've returned it after a few days.

complaints, in no particular order:

the base, handset1, and handset2 share no information with each other except the incoming caller-id. effect: if you want to turn off your ringer, you've got to visit 3 separate devices. if you've built up a nice phonebook in one of the handsets, you'll have to re-enter the names/numbers in the other handset if you want it there.

the caller-id does not consult your phonebook to look up the name you've set for an incoming number (like your cell phone does for you).

the caller-id display on the handsets is so tiny, you'll be forced to actually pick up the phone to read it. the base has a nice big red led display, but it's wasted telling you how many calls are stored on the answering machine, not who's calling.

the user-interface (handset and base buttons) is tedious and confusing. different buttons mean different things at different times. different buttons mean the same things at different times. for some operations, the order in which you press certain buttons matters, and there's no easy way to guess which sequence does what you want. keep the manual near the phone if you plan to do anything besides place and answer calls. oh, and fold down the useful pages because the index is almost useless.

i gave it two stars here to be consistent with other reviews (i'm sure there are worse phones), but for me it's really a big fat 0.
