Uniden DECT1060-2 DECT6.0 Phone System.......2007-10-29
This phone base station and extra handset is being used in a small school classroom. After 1 month of use, it is working very well.
not bad.......2007-09-22
The sound's a little tinny, but no more interference from various wireless contraptions, which was making me crazy. Much smaller than what I was used to, but then it only took a day to get used to it. The functions are pretty intuitive and it's nice having a second extension that only requires a regular electrical outlet.
Great phone. Great features. One minus (speed dialing). WAIT A MINUTE! SEE ADDENDUM.......2007-08-21
I am moving up from a Uniden Tru446 2.4GHz phone system which interferes with my wireless when I get a phone ring. BAD! Just unpacked this new phone today and notice that it's missing two critical features:
1. No speed dialing. I used to be able to set ten numbers for speed dial and a special number for rocketdial. Hold down 1 and it brought up my mother, then hit talk. Hold down 0 and it brought up voicemail. No dice on this one. I don't know how I can get around this one.
2. No lighted keys. If you are in the dark, forget about it. The old phone had lighted rubberized keys. This phone does not. I talk at night in the dark a lot. I have loved this feature on my older Uniden. Can live with this though.
Also ringer volume is rather low even on maximum. I can live with this though.
Otherwise, the handsets are sleek. No antenna (which I like). No interference with wireless. No interference from microwave. Transferable phone book entries. Speakerphone. Ability to use intercom system. Ability to label phones with their own identifiers. Phone numbers can get unique ringers.
All in all, I like this phone, but the lack of speed dialing is a problem for me.
Added:
After playing around with this phone system, I really have to change my review. This is a great phone system. The added features over my previous system makes this a great product (even without the speed dialing).
More good: Displays date and time on handsets. Can shut off handset (so the phone doesn't wake you up when you don't want it to). Has built-in speakerphone for each handset. Can transfer calls from one handset to another. Appointment reminders. Alarm set. All these good features were LACKING on my previous phone. There's more good... read below.
I got around the speed dialing problem, kind of. This is what I did: I programmed my top ten entries in the phone book and prefixed the name with a number. This way, I can scroll through the entries by number and they're always ahead of any other entries. Not as fast as the speed dialing, but it works and I think I can live with it, given all the other great features.
Another great feature of this phone is that when you dial back from a caller-ID remembered number, it actually works. With my old phone, it didn't. This phone dials a number with or without prefixing with a 1. But this really makes life a dream. With my old phone, I would have to remember the number, write it down even, and then dial it. But on this phone it works.
So, overall, a great big leap forward for this phone over my previous generation 2.4GHz phone.
Would give it 5 stars if it had the speed dialing. So, it's really a 4.5 star rating.
I know, I'm schizophrenic! I've been using this phone for a week now. It's majorly flawed. Here's my list of problems.
1. Buttons are not optimally placed... so you can very easily hit the intercom button while on a phone call and not know how to get back.
2. The personalized ringtones don't work right away. When the phone rings, you get the regular ringtone for the first ring and then it changes to the personalized one.
3. There is no light for message waiting indication, just a small envelope on the screen.
4. Caller ID scrolling is MUCH slower than my OLD uniden.
5. Local calls on the caller ID cannot be called back directly. i.e., the local area code does not get pre-pended to the number.
6. Plastic keys are less good than rubberized keys (my old phone). There's a general hard-to-press feel of the keys.
7. voice quality is not that good. sometimes there is an echo (this is not a service issue).
8. ringer is QUIET! much quieter than my old phone.
why can't i get my old phone with these new features (intercom, battery indicator, etc.)???
So, take my 4.5 stars and subtract about 3.
DECT6.0 Phone...exceeded expectations.......2007-05-29
This phone series exceeded my expectations. Easy to set-up, all expected features work as stated plus several unexpected features. Clear voice everywhere in the house, and no interference with our WiFi.
Great Product.......2007-05-12
We had another cordless phone and it would disconnect our wairless network every time we used it. This system dose not interfere with our wireless system. You can talk on the phone while sitting at the computer, unlike our other phone. Love this system.

Neat little phone.......2007-11-20
I really like this phone. It's small, plugs in anywhere, sounds great, and even functions as an alarm clock and intercom. It's now the only alarm clock I use. I wish I could link more phones to this system, but must instead purchase a second base for additional phones.
Sweet little phone!.......2007-06-22
I love this little phone. The set up was easy and intuitive, once I surrendered to the idea of not being able to change the European date format. Most importantly, it delivers sharp, crystal clear sound, despite the dozen or so wireless networks in my building!!
Okay but limited.......2007-06-02
We have had these phones for awhile and they do not live with you well. I suspect that I will dump them and find another DECT phone system that has all the features we want. We came from a Uniden 5.8 phone system and sound quality thru out the house is almost perfect with these new phones unlike the old 5.8 that we had.
But, the volume never gets very loud on the ringer or during calls. It does not let you know of message waiting unless you walk up and really stare at the screen. The date format is European, the hidden mute function is a pain, no headset jack is bad news, especially with the volume limitations, the dance to share a phone call or transfer it to a different phone is awkward at best.
I understand this system came from Europe originally and they just did not do enough to make it right for the American market when they started selling it here. Better attention to details and interface and this would have been a great phone.
buyer beware - extension phones?.......2007-04-21
Be warned that this, and some other expandable phone systems, do not allow an additional handset to easily join an existing conversation. The handset currently using the line must first put the outside party on hold, figure out which of the expansion handsets wants to join the conversation, ring that specific handset, and then remove the hold condition. Not exactly convenient.
On the plus side, sound quality and range are good, and as advertised, the phones generate no interference to degrade wi-fi networks.
Uniden has Improved.......2007-04-21
Uniden has fixed some chronic flaws found in its previous phones, and left a few small flaws in.
THE GOOD:
* NO WIFI INTERFERENCE. This phone works well without interfering with today's (or tomorrow's) WiFi Networks
* SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD, both receiving and transmitting. Uniden's microphones have been consistently horrible in the past, and I am delighted to see that they have fixed this.
* FORM FACTOR IS NICE. Not overly sleek and trendy, but not clunky at all. The most commonly used features are quick to access with only one or two button presses, with a few exceptions (see THE UGLY, below).
* GOOD RANGE. The lower frequency band of 1.9 GHz allows for a slightly greater range than the overhyped 5.8 GHz band. Works a little better through plaster walls.
* NAME YOUR HANDSET. Each handset is nameable. This greatly simplifies paging and conference calling. (Despite previous statements, multi-handset calls ARE possible, but they must be initiated by the handset making the call - you can't just pick up the extension.)
THE BAD:
* NO HEADSET JACK OR BLUETOOTH. Cordless phones should have some kind of handsfree option besides a speakerphone setting, but this one doesn't. I have a dedicated cordless headset, so this was not an essential feature for me. The handset's speakerphone works okay.
* CALLER ID DOESN'T DISPLAY THE PHONEBOOK NAME. This is pretty basic these days, but Uniden still hasn't caught up. When people listed in my Phonebook call me from a cell phone, I want their NAME to display, not just WIRELESS CALLER. This is not a deal breaker, but certainly an annoying oversight.
THE UGLY:
* THE ALERT THAT WOULDN'T DIE. Despite being able to turn all the sound alerts off, the phone still makes a loud and irritating BLURRRP! when you drop it into the charging cradle. Better not drop it in the bedroom cradle to charge while your spouse is sleeping.
* HOW DO I ...? To keep the phone sleek, some functions are a little more hidden than they should be. You will have to consult the manual to learn how to insert a pause into a Phonebook number, muting requires three button presses (You CAN mute the handsets, despite comments made elsewhere), and some phone settings are only available in certain modes, not universally available through the Menu button. Examples: Sound Enhancer is only accessible WHILE you are making a call, and Phonebook settings can only be made WHILE you are in the phonebook. There is a reason why a previous reviewer thought you couldn't have multi-handset conversations or couldn't mute the phone; you really have to read the manual. There are only a few of these hidden technical features though, and dang, the phone does look good.
I bought the version of this phone that includes an extra handset and charger.

Happy with Monopod .......2007-09-10
I've been very happy with my monopod. It has all the adjustments I want, is sturdy, and I really like the three axis adjustable head. Great price. Only minor ding is the tilt adjustment slips a little if not tightened down strongly. Really like the product, would buy another.
