Uniden is creating a World Without Wires. Which means the company is building products that give its customers more freedom to enjoy life, solve problems and always stay connected with others. From cordless phones to two-way radios to radar detectors, Uniden makes electronic wonders an everyday occurrence. As one of the world's largest manufacturers of cordless phones and consumer communications devices, chances are there's a Uniden product that's already making things more convenient in and around your home.Uniden TRU5865-2 phone features 5.8 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum technology for extra-long range, a dual handset system and supports Call Waiting/Caller ID.

Amazon.com Product Description

Some of us need much more from our phones than just a little redial button. Sometimes a flash feature simply isn't enough. For users who demand extensive features, Uniden's TRU5865-2 delivers. Functioning at a quiet, nearly interference-free 5.8 GHz, the phone uses digital transmission for exceptional range and minimal static. The three-line LCD handset display works in conjunction with caller ID services, storing 100 names and numbers, in addition to the 20 speed-dial presets and last-three-number redial feature.

The dual speakerphones (both on handset and base) let you talk hands-free or get the whole family in on the conversation. And yes, the phone does feature the basics, like flash, pause, hold, and redial with memory storage of the last three numbers dialed. In addition, you can dial either from the handset or from the base. The phone is expandable to accommodate additional handsets. An NiMH battery and 90-day warranty are included.

5 out of 5 stars great for environments with wireless networks.......2005-09-29

The speaker phone in the base and the handset is the best quality of any phone I have ever used. I have bought so many hands-free ear pieces that sounded great for a week, but then tanked - but I will clip the beltclip of this phone on my collar as I do chores and I can have a conversation without problems with folks who say I sound loud and clear. I have an 802.11 b&g compatible wireless network at home with 3 wireless routers in various location in my home. Wireless phones below the 5.8ghz range can wreak havoc with these networks. Having the extra handset that doesn't require a phone jack is a real blessing. When I built my house, I had no idea I would one day have an indoor rabbit as a pet - and rabbits chew cords, which necessitates moving phones to other locations where I didn't think to have phone jacks installed. Since the satellite phone requires that it first sit in the original handset, you know that your neighbor isn't listening to your conversation with their own handset the way it used to work in the early 1990s. The range isn't stellar... if I get more than 50 feet away, conversations get garbled, but part of that is due to the short wavelength of these microwave phones. Concrete is also a natural filter for RF (radio frequencies), so any concrete in the line of sight between your handset and base is going to cause interference. I have had these phones for 3 years and have had to replace the battery once - and unlike all the other portable phones I have had, this is the only one where I wasn't ready to just buy a whole new phone when the battery died. I like the easy-to-understand interface that doesn't require me to consult a manual and the speakerphone is a neck saver. I simply do not hold a phone to my ear anymore - it's not good for your neck or spine to crook your head for hours at a time and I like using a phone that requires no hands. I have owned several cordless phones and so far, this is the best.

3 out of 5 stars Terrible Range.......2005-08-27

After a thorough search for a great phone with excellent range, I chose this one based on online reviews. Unfortunately, I cannot even use it on my deck, which is only 100 feet away from the base. I am disappointed in the range.

1 out of 5 stars One time's a lemon. Three times is a bad design. .......2005-06-26

I bought this unit to replace a beautiful but dying Siemens expandable phone system. While most of the features work as advertised, my big complaint is with the handsets not answering an incoming call when you pick them up. I may be overly critical, but this is a function I generally expect from my telephones, especially ones costing this much. This inability to connect with an incoming signal has been a reoccuring problem with the first system and two replacement ones. We also get quite a bit of static that I suspect is interference with my wireless network even though the 5.8 ghz technology is suppose to avoid this problem

We also have a problem with people calling and getting a fax signal even though we don't have a fax machine. This is probably a phone company problem but at this point I'm not willing to give Uniden the benefit of the doubt.

I'll be returning this system and trying the Vtech i5871.

4 out of 5 stars sudden low battery cut-out.......2004-12-21

Overall, this is a pretty good phone and I'm going to stick with it (despite buying and dumping two or three similar phones in the past). The reception is good and the construction is solid.

The only problem after several months of use is that the battery dies suddenly without warning and I usually loose the call. It starts beeping, then a few seconds later the call is gone. I wish it gave like a one minute morning or something.

4 out of 5 stars Don't go outside.......2004-09-16

After much review - including Consumer Reports - I decided to purchase this phone. We were extrememly happy until we tried to go outside of the house with it. The static became untolerable during calls. Other than this the phone is great.

3 out of 5 stars What Were They Thinking?.......2003-12-25

5.8GHz is a *requirement* if you use WiFi (802.11a/b/g) in your house or if you have other wireless technologies that typically get garbled when the 900MHz or 2.4GHz phones are used. 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 biggest two gripes with this phone are not petty and not trivial at all. They are showstoppers, in my opinion.

(1) The phone will NOT work well in states that require 10-digit dialing and a +1 in order to dial in-state. In Michigan, for example, I have to dial 1-248-555-1212 to call my neighbor (ok, so that's information, I digress).

Putting My Neighbor in the phone book as 248-555-1212 results in:
- The inbound works fine (caller ID shows up, custom rings sound if set)
- BUT you cannot dial using the phone book or caller ID redial. This is because both will try to dial 248-555-1212, which will not work! Our phone system requires 1-248-555-1212 to be dialed. There is NO setting for this on the phone.

If you think you can be sneaky (like I did) and set the phone book entry to be 1-248-555-1212, then:
- You can call with the phone book, BUT
- Inbound services don't work (no custom rings) and you STILL can't redial them from the caller ID.

In effect, if you live in a state that has converted to full 10-digit dialing and a 1 is required to dial 10 digits, don't bother with this phone. It's slick, but it's unforgiveable that the engineers missed that one considering the first phone I bought myself in 1985 had this capability. Yay, progress!

4 out of 5 stars welcome to the latest band available for phone communication.......2003-11-17

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 this phone is the ridiculously short belt clip. It is literally only 1" long, which means all you have to do is bend over and the phone drops. If they provided at least a 2" long clip or one w/ a spring that would grab a belt or fabric, that would have been preferable.

Another gripe is the so-called "custom ring" feature. I enable the custom ring, but the regular ring is still just as loud, but rings in tandem with a little tune - quite annoying.

Also annoying is the 4-clicks to delete a record from the caller ID. The phone is feature-packed with menu buttons, but not too intuitive - you really need to read the manual thoroughly to know what does what.

The mute button on the base is great, and there is one on the handset as well.

You can save number in a "rocket dial" directory for speedy dialing.

The talk button is also the flash button, so there is a separate button labeled "end" for terminating a connection.

The unit will support one additional handset in tandem w/ one in the base station which is a nice feature that not all phones have. I'm saving up to get the additional handset so I can have one in my kitchen.

There is a light in the handset that is supposed to illuminate when you have new voice mail, but my light has never come on, even when I have voicemail waiting for me... also a bummer that gives this phone a less than perfect rating. All in all, though, I must say this is one of the best portable phones I have ever used.

5 out of 5 stars Great Phone!.......2003-10-28

I have had this phone for over six months and I think it is just terrific. The handsets with built-in speakerphones work great, although I have not used them often as I tend to think speakerphones are rude. In fact, I have been so happy that I purchased additional handsets and placed them all over the house. I have also purchased several sets as gifts and everyone that has received them have appreciated their clarity and ease of use.

While I understand a few others have been disappointed, my experience has been quite the opposite. I simply think this phone is simply great!

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2003-10-07

I bought this phone strictly because of the Uniden reputation. It was to replace my 6 year old Panasonic which was missing its antenna and still worked somewhat decent.

Within a 30 foot radius of the base the Uniden sounded excellent and it's features such as distinct ring and phone book were very impressive. But as soon as I walked beyond 30 feet the phone would completely cut out and I would have to run back to let the caller know I didn't hang up. I was shocked and disappointed that this happened to a 5.8 gigahertz Uniden and attempted to solve the problem by reading the instructions fully and relocating the base but nothing worked. (Yes I scanned all the channels manually and automatically without improvement.)

I decided to return it instead of an exchange because I felt with such clarity within 30 feet and such poor performance beyond that, that it was not a lemon but just a poorly made phone. Another reason I believed it to be a quality problem is because I had a similar experience with Panasonic. Their older phones worked spectacular but the new models are garbage too. I don't know if this is a sign that companies feel they can produce cheaper quality products and sell them due to their past reputation and get away with it or just a strange coincidence. For now it's back to the Panasonic without an antenna.

This was my experience, hopefully yours is different.

5 out of 5 stars Great phone.......2003-06-28

The guy posting below MUST have gotten a lemon. This phone has great reception and sound quality. PLUS, this is THE ONLY TRUE 5.8GHz phone on the market. The VTech he loves and the AT&T ones transmit 5.8 GHz tothe handset, but the handset transmits back at 2.4GHz. You don't hear the clicks from a wireless network interfering, but your calling party does. And it still slows down the wifi connected computers.

1 out of 5 stars Multiple problems with this camera.......2007-07-02

I found this camera to be disappointing. After only several months of use, it stopped working very well. It would never be in focus if zoomed in all the way (although not using a tripod). It also would not deliver an in focus picture at any level of zoom if it wasn't a very bright sunny day, which is of course not optimal lighting conditions. The "hand" icon indicating the camera was unsteady would go off every single time the camera was used. We tried to reset the camera, but this continued. I don't know if something was wrong with the image stabilization, but it seemed as though only 1 out of ten shots would ever be in focus, no matter what the conditions. We ended up selling the camera and getting a new one. I have had luck in the past with two different models of sony digital cameras, but this one never seemed to work properly.

5 out of 5 stars Sony Cybershot DSCH1 5.1MP Digital--Bravo!.......2007-05-25

This is the best camera I've owned, a clear step-up from my Sony DSC P93A.The big LCD viewing area captures what a shot will like in print. The 12X zoom is
phenomenal for close-up shots. No more blurred shots with the "Steady Shot"; you will need to adjust for low light shots, but there is a setting for those instances where the light is weak.
Although I bought this refurbished, it was in perfect condition and had all the accessories of a brand new camera.
I guess you'd call me a somewhat experienced amateur; this camera will allow me to become more a accomplished amateur with a bit of help from Sony (on-line site)and certainly with this camera.
As always, Amazon delivers, even though this was not Amazon itself, but one of its vetted vendors.

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera.......2007-03-11

I have had this camera for well over a year. It has been flawless. It takes great photos and can be set to full manual when needed. The zoom is awesome, used in Africa to take some great animal and people photos. I am now waiting for the H9 to come out, I am going to be in line for it!

4 out of 5 stars wish there were more accessories.......2007-02-06

I've had this camera for about a year and am super happy with it's preformance. I've never had any problems with it, but I am now bored with its regular functions. The built-in lens just isn't as wide as i'd like it to be, so I'm looking into the sony wide angle converter lens. but .7x doesn't seem like much, is it worth $100? This camera's a steal for the price, but if you're looking to improve your collection and capabilities, invest in the DSLR category... there's plenty more to be had there.

4 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2007-01-16

I had an older Sony camera form about four & half years ago. We had pruchased it for when our son was born & I really enjoyed it. I chose this newer model because it had a greater zoom capacity and more megapixels than our older camera. It's a little more than what I really needed as a Mom & homemaker, but I wanted to get good quality pictures. I really like the features and have been more than thrilled with the photos that I've taken. Digital Photography has become sort of a hobby for me and this camera has really helped to increase my interest. Shortly after I got mine our local Fire Marshal & close friend purchased the same model to use for work. He's been more than happy also.

Amazon.com Product Description

Set up your own home or small office communications system with this VTech 5.8 GHz cordless phone package, which includes the i5857 base and phone and the i5803 accessory handset with charger stand. Both phones utilize the 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology to provide clear, accurate reception with less interference than traditional 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz phones. Caller ID/call waiting compatible, both handsets have a 50-number caller ID memory; caller information is display on both the base and handset LCDs. A separate 50-name-and-number phone directory helps you keep track of important contacts.

You can select between eight ring tones and 12 musical ringers, while the supplied audio patch cord allows you to record custom ring tones. The full-color handset LCD screen comes with six preset images that you can assign to phone directory entries or set as background wall-paper; the included USB cable and image editor software also allow you to download custom images to your phone.

Speakerphones on both the main base and handset combine with headset compatibility to provide a number of hands-free communication options. Handset-to-handset call transfer allows you to route incoming calls to any handset registered to the system, while three-way conferencing lets you communicate with multiple parties at once. An intercom feature provides a way to communicate between handset locations, and a global page/handset function lets you speak with all handsets at once.

Additional features include flash, redial (last 10 numbers), hold, and mute. The NiMH battery provides up to eight hours of talk time and up to five days of standby, while a low-battery indicator lets you know when to return a handset to its charging cradle. A new message waiting indicator alerts you to any new voice mail messages (requires subscription to a fee-based service). Handset and speakerphone controls allow you to adjust volume levels. This package is backed with a one-year limited warranty.

2 out of 5 stars Very disappointed - useless numberpad!!.......2007-07-09

I bought this phone in mid 2005. There were a couple of main reasons why I spent the extra money on this phone: it was one of the only cordless phone sets I found that had (a) 5.8GHz (so as not to interfere with my WiFi) (b) speakerphone and keypad in base.

All seemed ok for a few months, but since then the numberpad on the handset has been very erratic - sometimes you have to press a number really hard or a number of times for it to register the number, other times you'll hardly touch it and it would dial that number two or three times. This would be mildly frustrating when dialling phone numbers, but when dealing with automatic phone menus, it is extremely frustrating and a challenge on my self control not to hurl the handset against the wall! Note - I do not use the phone that frequently (at most once or twice a day), so I refuse to believe this is a result of normal "wear and tear".

Final analysis - the quality of the calls is pretty decent, the base seems to work fine, but the handset's numberpad is subpar quality. Another complaint is that there is no link between the info on the handset and the base (e.g., the phonebooks are completely separate, so you have to enter a number twice to store it in both places)

2 out of 5 stars Lifeless phone.......2007-07-04

Bought this phone a few years ago. Thought it had a lot of nice features. Soon found out, it's not all it cracked up to be.
PRO: Loud ring, speaker phone base, good enough tones to choose from.
CON: Short battery life! After days of charging, after talking 1 hour, it needs to be charged again. Even after changing out the battery.
NOW: Phone won't even charge. It's on, the base works, but not the phone. Never buying a V-Tech again.

4 out of 5 stars Nice phone but overpriced.......2007-06-10

We had problems with the first delivery of this order - the numeric keypad on the main cordless phone would not work properly. Amazon immediately replaced the order, but the new order that came had a set of bad batteries that did not get charged at all. In the end, when we had the right parts, the phone worked fine and is in good shape now. The handset is a bit bigger than I would like it to be, and the phone seems overpriced at $90. But it works well and has good voice quality.

5 out of 5 stars Great phone, fast shipping!.......2007-03-08

I had a bad experience with this same phone at the V-tech factory ware-house (online)... I ordered it through them it showed up broken, I returned it and the replacement was also broken. I returned it, and ordered it here and it came all in one piece & it's a great phone!! I love the ability to add handsets, and the fact that their is a speaker phone on the base.

          4 out of 5 stars Non-phony.......2007-09-04

          This head set and microphone works quite well. The head band needs to have more pressure. You need a place to hang up the head set. It is VERY convenient to have both hands free while talking on the phone. The added audio from two sources, is a boon for those of us with a hearing loss.
