Rating: - Terrible phone!! lots of noise and static!!!
the phone has very good looks but it's the worst phone I've ever had. A LOT, of noise and static!!!, I really mean A LOT when I say it. It says WI-FI friendly but thats just for marketing purpose. I hate when I speak and some times I can heard my own voice, like an echo. I'm gonna try installing a DSL filter and see what happens, if I can't solve all this problems with the filter I'm returning the phone.

VERY GOOD battery life. THATS ALL!!!

not worth spending the money... DON'T BUY!!!

Rating: - Almost perfect
This is a pretty great phone system (almost perfect) with only one major flaw that could be a deal-breaker for some people.

First, all the good points: Great sound quality, very easy ability to add extra handsets throughout your house without the need for any additional phone jacks, fully-featured phone with all the features that you would need (ringer off ability, belt clip, headset-compatible, speakerphone, mute ability, voicemail indicator, caller ID history, easy-to-use menus and instruction booklets)!

Also, as you probably already know, the DECT 6.0 technology uses the 1.9 GHz frequency, so it will not interfere with your wireless devices around the house (computers, routers, TiVo, Roku Netflix box, etc.) that are broadcasting at either 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) or 5.8 GHz (802.11n).

Now onto the bad news: The only major bad point about this phone is that the number keys that you press to actually dial the phone are NOT individual buttons that you can press! Each horizontal row of 3 buttons is actually ONE GIGANTIC HORIZONTAL BUTTON, which makes it more difficult to press the individual button that you want to press without looking at the phone. Although Uniden did indent the middle button on each row, it's not indented enough for you to feel where each button begins & ends. Furthermore, we have found that because the horizontal rows of buttons are nothing more than one gigantic button, the phone does not always respond to our finger presses at all -- we have to press VERY HARD to get it to respond to our button presses. This did not happen at all on our previous Uniden 2.4 GHz phone, because each one of the buttons was an INDEPENDENT & UNIQUE BUTTON.

So because of the way the buttons are designed, we're trying to RETRAIN ourselves to get used to the very basic of function of DIALING THE KEYPAD!! We have to press the keypad HARD and we have to LOOK at the keypad to see which button we're pressing.

This seems to be a very poor design choice on Uniden's end.

But overall, the rest of the phone is great.

Rating: - Great phone, one major defect
Just picked up a Uniden DECT 2060-2 at OfficeMax for fifty-nine ninety-nine (USD) today. Two handsets, no answering machine.

First and by far the most serious defect: As mentioned in another Amazon.com review, address book entry names don't override the incoming caller ID strings. Really, crappy, Uniden. I took two stars off for this. With this feature, I could put in names for known numbers that have no name information when they come in from the phone company.

Second defect (minor): It was not possible (or not easy to understand how) to preview a ringtone when defining a custom ringtone while adding someone to the address book. Same problem when just defining the handset's default ringtone. How do I preview these? This is a bummer but it's ultimately trivial. The first defect, however, is a terrible oversight.

Rating: - Uniden DECT 6.0 Compact Cordless Phone
We have used the Uniden for at least a month and it has been a solid performer. We have all the bells and whistles with our last cordless system at more than double the cost and it was a horror to deal with.
We have used this not only for personal but for business conference calls and the speaker phone performed well even during an outdoor call. I had 2 other business associates on my porch for the call and left the handset standing on a table and had no problems during a call that lasted over two hours. The intercom has also come in handy and most features of this phone are intuitive. The result: The BEST cordless we have had to date!

Rating: - FINALLY, a phone that does it all!
I did extensive research on cordless phones when my old Panasonc 5.8GH finally died. I tried and tested quite a few but always ended up returning them for one reason or another. Then I found the Uniden DECT 2060-2 6.0 GH model. It had everything I needed. I did not want an answering machine and that is hard to find these days. It has small, well lit and comfortable handsets, a soft, easy to use keypad, incrediable clarity and range. There's also fun ringtones, a phonebook, speakerphone, message waiting indicator, caller ID, redial, intercom, headset compatible and it's expandable. I also needed to be able to hang the base on the wall which is almost impossible to find. I've had this system for about 6 months and have never had a problem with low batteries or being out of range. No problems at all and I plan to purchase additional handsets. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone in the market for a new cordless!
