I have had absolutely NO reception troubles in my 3300 sqft house and the clarity is superb.The phone's looks are top-notch. Black and silver is a very slick look for a modern household. Might look a little funny if you're style is country or traditional. Caller ID works well and the 2-line display is very helpful. Voicemail indicator is also nice. The biggest surprise feature for me was the speakerphone in the handset! I've used this several times (it's great when you're on hold somewhere or when you need several people to talk at once) and love it! I was happy with the menu navigation, although I thought they could have offered more features (like... perhaps the ability to control the volume of that LOUD, annoying beeping every time you press a button). The menu seemed sparse to me. My...Read more 19 of 21 people found the following review helpful:  Extremley nice Phone... If you can afford it., By This review is from: Uniden TRU5865 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product) Basically, this phone seduced me into buying it with its looks. The thing looks downright awesome, even more so than the pictures can convey. The first one of my friends who saw it asked me if it really worked or if it was a prop from a movie :) If impressing the friends is important to you, go for it. The clarity is superb. Anyplace in my house it sounds indistinguishable from a corded telephone and better than my Nextel. The range with the new 5.8 GHz system is excellent, about the same as 2.4 GHz systems. While the 5.8 GHz signal has the potential to travel farther, the higher frequency a signal is, the more it is affected by obstacles. [I.e. Walls, trees, cars, other houses etc.] Nevertheless, I can use this thing from around the block from my house. The phone also uses DSS, a digital scrambling system that makes it near impossible for an eavesdropper to listen with a scanner. The difference in range between 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz is debatable, so if...Read more 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: welcome to the latest band available for phone communication, By This review is from: Uniden TRU5865 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID (Office Product) The new 5.8 gigahertz band has only been available for phone use very recently. The higher band means less interference from many household appliances and even other phones using the same band. I bought this as a replacement phone for another brand of phone that died. I am very pleased with the sound and distance quality. Supposedly, you can be up to a mile away and still connect, but I have not tested this. I have been able to be in my backyard (my phone base is in a room at the front of the house) at a distance of over 50 feet (I know how far my garden hose will reach) without degredation of quality. Not only does the base allow near full-duplexing quality speaker phone, the handset is also capable as a stand-alone speaker phone. The new band means a shorter antenna length is needed, so the antenna is almost invisible. There is an audio phono jack on the side to accommodate a 1/8" handsfree head/ear set, but such a device is sold separately. My biggest gripe with...Read more |
