Great phone.......2007-12-15

This is a great phone. I have used it for a week for the usages:

1) Regular conference call in speaker phone functionality from Home with co-workers from office. Great.

2) Log on PC to check on-line MSN friends and # of emails.

3) Use Windows Live call to people on line ( quality is just as good as regular phone call )

4) 5.8 G will not mess your 2.4 G home Network

Overall, best phone I had.

Absolutely terrible........2007-03-12

The Win1200 uniden phone is completely convoluted and disfunctional. It does not list when callers called on caller id. It does not say the date or time of when a caller called, NOTHING. It says the number and that is it. I cant for the life of me imagine who let this get through their engineering department. It's as if microsoft paid them to make this and uniden tossed it together without thinking or caring a single bit. It is completely flawed as a telephone, and the computer MSN messenger features are worthless.

Avoid this phone at all costs. I cant beleive how bad it is. It's just a complete disaster as a telephone. It fails at both MSN live and traditional phone use. It is a complete mess. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!.

Dont be fooled by its nice appearance, or colored LCD screen.... because that is all there is to this phone. Once you take it home and use it... you will regret having spent so much money on a useless peice of plastic with a poor interface, that does not function well as a phone at all. Caller ID sucks, Telehphone book sucks, the RINGER sucks (you can barely hear it). ARgHHHHHHHHH. :) Avoid it.

Whata ripoff.......2006-07-22

Tried to use these phones for Windows Live Messenger calling from PC to PC, and could not get them to work. Uniden tech support less than helpful; told me to call Microsoft. After dinking with these stupid phones for two days, I'm packing them up and sending them back.

Win1200...........2006-07-22

Looked nice. 15 hours to charge!! I couldn't hear the phone ring! Volume does not go very high. Nice idea.....but recommend waiting until better versions arrive.
