Strengths: Clear sound, long battery life, good looking, Hand free speaking, Fancy and sleek designs
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Uniden ELT560 Cordless Phone is one of the best cordless phone I ever used. After 5 days using, I concluded that it has following advantages:

1)Expandable. I bought two and they work together

2)Address book can be transfered from PC or laptop. So it can be easily edited on computer.

4)With canlender.

5)Recordable/preset ringer tones and picture displays. I can choose what I like on the screen and listen to the rings.

Strengths: Space Saving,Good Design
Weaknesses: Cheap look
Summary: I have used other expensive 5.8Ghz Panasonic & AT&T phones.

This has much better Sound Quality than them. Except the visible gaps in the hinge and intermittent squeaks while opening, this is a good phone.

The features are great! You can use upto 9 handsets using just 1 base; Very easy to program,Software that comes with the phone allows you to program the phones via your PC.

Strengths: Battery Back Up In Base/Voice Mail Indicator/One Touch Button to Voice mail.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Best Phone I ever bought.

So many features that I can't list them all.

A few of my favorite.

1) Battery Backup built into the charger incase of a power outage.

2) Voice Mail Indicator for when you use voice mail from your service provider.

3) One touch access to your voice mail. You can program it so when you press the voice mail button it calls the voice mail access number and even enters the pin and # symbol for you. For me this is my favorite feature.

4) All feature accessable via usb cable. Address book can be saved on the computer or even created on the computer which is easier than entering it into the phone.

5) Price, only $29.99 from Staples after rebate.

Strengths: It has the clearest sound I've heard for a cordless phone.
Weaknesses: NONE!
Summary: I love the size of this phone. I like the blue light that flashes when it rings; I can find it easily in the dark. I will definitely buy more of these for my home.

2 Star ReviewELT560 Cordless phone
Strengths: Small compact design. Fits in shirt pocket and can be carried in or outdoors easily. Good sound quality. Programmable from computer.
Weaknesses: Short battery life during infrequent use. No warning when battery dies unless you are watching the animated screen!! Can't change the default picture of unknown caller.
Summary: 2006-03-05 16:03:25 My main objection to this phone is that when an incoming call

is Unknown Caller, or Out Of Area, the default picture on screen is a dark sinister creepy head. I called Uniden asking how I could change that default picture and they said it was programmed in and could not be changed!!

For that reason I would not recommend this phone.

Strengths: Powerful functions, Long distance, Beautiful looking, Battery backup in dock for power fault.
Weaknesses: Sometimes hear static noise(may be attribute to the interference from the outside).
Summary: This is the best cordless phone I ever used. 5.8 GHZ operating frequency makes it free from the interference between 802.11/b/g 2.4GHz wireless network and cordless phone, which happens on 2.4 GHz cordless phones. The address book can be updated through USB with PC! Color LCD and voicemail indiction on the screen. It is a digital phone! 3-ways conference call is convenient for the communication with my friends. I like it very much.

Strengths: Feature packed, flip phone advantages, backup power supply in base, reminder/calender feature, USB port for external configuration and upload of contacts to phone.
Weaknesses: Holster must be detached when phone is docked; not clear if phone can be answered with headset attached while keeping unit closed.
Summary: 2006-06-22 12:06:42 This is a feature packed unit that is backward and forward compatible with other Uniden PowerMax5.8Ghz products. No noticeable sound quality problems. Unit even allows one to adjust tone quality. Earpiece volume can sometimes be a little louder than desired even at lowest setting when using headset. It's not clear if the phone can be answered with headset attached while keeping unit closed. Answering phone with speaker button turns on internal speaker and bypasses headphones. One can open the phone slightly and then close it again to answer. Holster must be detached when the phone is docked and there is nowhere to store it on the base. Use of the holster has resulted in the finish in places wearing off. Phone includes USB port for external configuration and upload of contacts to phone. Even with the weaknesses this is a very good phone.

Strengths: Cell phone shaped, ring tone can be changed
Weaknesses: The screen is too small and the colar is not natural
Summary: This Uniden wireless phone looks so like my Motorola cell phone which was one of the reasons I bought it. In all, it has above average performance. It is small in size (a little bigger than the cell phones), has a color screen. Best of all, this phone is so customizable. You can actually create or edit anything on your personal computer with the software comes with the phone. It can even record the ring tone from my mp3 player. Like most of the other 5.8G wireless phones, it works well with my wireless internet.
