Philips 6.0 Dect Cordless Phone with Answering Machine (Dect2251g/37) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After we used and liked the phone for two weeks the handset developed severe static. When we contacted Philips' customer support they agreed it was a defective handset and gave us an address to which we could return the handset for repair or replacement. Our poatal service record of receipt indicates they received it on October 21, 2006. For more than two months we made numerous phone calls, spoke to many different persons, and were promised callbacks that never came. Finally a "supervisor" assured us that a handset was "in the mail." That was more than three weeks ago. We plan to keep trying to get some satisfaction, but meanwhile we have lost any shred of confidence we ever had in this manufacturer.

GE Dect 6.0 Digital Black 2-Line Cordless Single Handset Phone with Answering System (28165FE1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Might be ok at $100.00 but not a quality product.
1) Poor sound quality from the base speaker.
2) Poor sound quality from the handset.
3) Can't get the volume up high enough if there is any background noise.
4) Number pad on the base unit seem to have a delay.

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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 WIN1200 Dual-Mode Cordless Internet USB Phone (VoIP) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I want to start by saying the phone works fine. It came in new condition. There was one problem. The day the phone arrived i set it up and it did not work. The phone was not the problem. The problem was with Microsoft dropping Verizon as their provider for web calling without securing a new provider. Microsoft says this lack of service is temporary and i gues we will have to wait and see.

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.
