Cingular Go Phone: Uniden TCX805 Accessory Handset For One- or Two-Line Systems (Silver/Black) Review

I bought 3 of these handsets to work with the new Uniden TRU8866 Expandable Phone System I bought from Amazon too.

I bought the TCX805 handset because the TCX860 handset was not available from Amazon at the time.The TCX860 is the handset that Uniden intended to be the matched expansions to the TRU8866.

I could have bought a like-new TCX860 handset directly from Uniden.

My only concern about the TCX805 was that it would not color match the TRU8866, but the Amazon picture of the TCX805 showed it to match the TCX860, and the description explicitly says "black".

After using the handsets for several months, I can say that the TCX805 functions the same as the TCX860.The only difference is that it does not have the same face plate.The TCX805 has a bright silver face plate, and the TCX860 has a dark smoke grey face plate.

Amazon's picture of the TCX860 is accurate, but the picture of the TCX805 is inaccurate.

I've attached a picture of the two handsets together.The TCX860 is on the left, and the TCX805 is on the right.

Overall, I've been happy with the functionality and looks of the phone.And, truly, the different face plates haven't been as big a deal as I thought since none of my handsets sit together - so it's hard to notice the different colors.

The whole reason I bought this phone was because it was a *true* 5.8 GHz system and it would not interfere with the WiFi home network that I am running.I'm happy to report that this is the case - no interference.

I recommend this phone system.
