I have the DECT1580-3 version (3 handsets). My wife and I love it. The range and sound is much better than our 900Mhz and 2.4Ghz phones. Plus at 1.9Ghz these phones no longer interfere with WiFi.
Pros:
*Only one phone jack needed for all phones (great for Vontage or such)
*Great speakerphone really useful with dial-up "customer" service
*Can name each handset, so one can xfer/page by their name/location
*One phone book for all phones (or separate, if desired)
*Lighted keypad
*Number of messages counter on base
*New message light (LED) on phone
*Listen to recorded and screen live incoming messages from any phone
*Easy to add extra handsets as needed (like DWX207 Waterproof Handset)
Cons (all minor gripes):
*Single voice mail box
*No keypad/speakerphone on base
*No headset jacks
*Old style NiCd Batteries instead of better NiMh or Lion
*Base wall mount bracket not included, extra handsets not wall mountable
Overall I would strongly recommend this Uniden Dect6.0 phone.

I bought this phone system to go with our new Vonage service since Vonage runs off of a single modem/phone adaptor and we have several extensions in the house. It was very easy to set up and now we have extensions everywhere we want them that only need an electrical outlet. (I always wanted to have a phone in the bathroom - the only time it ever seems to ring is when I'm in the shower!) The reception is very clear on all of the extensions and the nice thing is that when you set up your frequently called numbers in one handset you can copy them to all or any of the handsets that you want to instead of having to re-enter them all again. It takes only seconds. You can also turn the ringers off, on, or adjust to volume in any of the extensions or the base. That's nice when you have someone in the family to goes to sleep earlier than you and you don't want the phone ringing in the bedroom. All of the phones light up when they ring so you can tell that they're ringing. I use that feature in my home office so if I'm on the business phone I don't have the disturbance of the home phone ringing.
It plays nice with others, like Vonage Vonage VDV21-VD - Router - VoIP gateway - EN, Fast EN and my wireless router Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router and took seconds to hook up. (I'm not a techie geek and don't usually do this kind of thing.) It doesn't cause any interference with any of the other equipment and I can surf the net and talk on the phone without any noticeable delays on either.
It has several personalized ring tones for different callers if you want to set those and has caller ID, intercom with the base, 3-Way Conference Calling. 30 Name/Number Caller ID Memory, speakerphones in both the base and extension phones, last 5 number redial and probably lots of other goodies that I'll never get around to using. You can add one additional cordless phone. You could also use a line splitter like this one I've used GE TL96572 25 Foot Dual Jack Phone Cord and set up another phone system with more phones on the same number. I just turn the answering machine off on my old system and use the extensions so I have a couple extra.
This is all so easy to use and has so many nice features. I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing several extensions, for both voip services like Vonage or just regular land line phones without having to install a bunch of jacks.

Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Two Extra Handsets (DECT1560-3) Review

Despite a history of excellent experience with Uniden phones, this was poor quality right out of the package. It felt inexpensive and proved to be just that despite the price. It worked for about six hours. Now, after not even using the phones, two of the chargers (including the base) have no function. We have interchanged the AC adapters with no success. All three phones have now charged using one charger. It does no good since the base unit is not functioning. Uniden's customer service has, thus far, not responded. Our next call is to Amazon to return the product.

Uniden DECT1580 DECT 6.0 Silver Cordless Digital Answering System with Caller ID Review

I bought this to replace an old Uniden EXA1978 900 mhz cordless phone with digital answering machine. The 1580 is equal or better in all aspects but lacks an input jack for a headset. I thought this would be a deal breaker but the addition of a speaker phone on the handset (I feel) makes up for this. My only other complaint which is a complaint about all digital answering machines is that you cannot turn off the volume of the base when someone leaves a message. You can only lower the volume to 1 which still allows you to hear someone leaving you a message. Not great when you're a light sleeper and you get a wrong number in the middle of the night. For what it is worth, you can turn off the ringers on both the base and handset. And you could turn the answer function off which would prevent the scenario just described. Sound quality and reception is excellent. Overall, I think the phone is fine for the money. Amazon's price at the time of this writing is competitive with a local box store that starts with a W.

Uniden EXAI8580 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System Review

I bought this because I wanted an all-in-one machine (Handset, speaker phone and message machine) but had limited funds. The speaker phone is built into the handset itself which is pretty handy because you can use it hands-free in a different room - the other day I carried on a conversation while I was working on a project back in the bedroom. The clarity of the speaker phone and handset is not perfectly crystal clear but it's decent. That's the four stars.
The message machine is quite clear in sound and is very easy to operate. The entire unit is very compact and attractive and has a well-made feel to it. I think for the money this is a great deal and I consider the money well spent. If you are on a tight budget but want a well-made system that overall functions quite well I would definitely recommend this one.

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 (DECT1580-2)
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.
