Digital camera reviews of Uniden DCX200 DECT 6.0 Accessory Handset and Charging Cradle for the DECT2000/DECT 3000 Series Phones - Silver
Digital camera Review: A good backup for phones I already have
Summary: 5 Stars
I got what I asked for a resonable amount of time its works well as an addition to the other phone I have, and no matter where Im at around the house I dont worry about missing an important phone call.Digital camera Review: A truly excellent phone - Uniden DCX200 DECT 6
Summary: 5 Stars
I run a small home office and average about 4+ hours per day on the phone -- I've tried 4 or 5 different cordless phone manufacturers and absolutely none of them even remotely measure up to the Uniden DCX200 DECT 6.0 in terms of voice clarity, features and overall usability. For just a few dollars more than a fast-food dinner for 4, you'll get a phone which will make you happy for a long, long time.Digital camera Review: BEWARE: Buttons stop working after 6 months!
Summary: 1 Stars
When i first bought this phone 6 months ago, I had posted a 4-star review on the phone which I have now deleted.
You see, what you'll notice about most reviews on amazon.com is that people write the reviews after playing with their new product for only a couple of days while it's still brand new. But now that I have owned this phone for 6 months, I can tell you from 6 months worth of experience to stay away from this phone because the buttons stop working in about that timespan.
For example, the big square button near the center of the phone is a very important button, because it lets you:
1. Scroll through caller ID information
2. Scroll through your redial history
3. Set your ringer volume, and
4. Access your address book (if you use one; I don't).
Since I don't use an address book on my phone, I don't really use that square button as much as most people do. I use it strictly to access 1, 2, and 3 above.
However, after only 6 months of light usage, that square button is almost completely unresponsive. You have to try to push it down as hard as you possibly can with your thumb, and hope that the phone will somehow register your finger press. What used to take a few moments to adjust the ringer volume or scroll through caller ID... now can take MINUTES of frustration as you try to press that button.
And... Uniden's customer service is horrible. I emailed Uniden about getting a replacement handset or a repair to his handset... and they never emailed back. Plus, their website lists NO PHONE NUMBERS for the company. Go ahead, I dare you to try to find a phone number listed on Uniden's website.
Furthermore, the other 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. Go ahead and zoom into the photo of the phone to see what I'm talking about.
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.
Plus, it gets even harder to press these buttons over time, because these buttons become more unresponsive to your touch.
On the plus side, these are the good points about the phone which we enjoyed during the first 6 months: 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).
But, considering the phone starts breaking down after only 6 months of very light usage, you are NOT getting a good deal for your money here.
I would recommend looking elsewhere for a phone.
Digital camera Review: Bad Phone
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this phone. We got two of them not quite a year ago and one is almost rendered useless because the caller id/directory button (which is the main square button in the middle of the phone that also controls the ringer/volumn loudness) no longer works. And it's not like we abuse the phone. I even took it apart and cleaned all the contacts thinking maybe hand lotion or something got in there--nope, just cheap quality.Digital camera Review: Bad Phone will not register
Summary: 1 Stars
This phone will not register and keeps searching for the base. It won't charge properly. and I need to return it. How do I do that?
