Cingular Go Phone: Uniden TCX440 5.8 GHz Accessory Handset with Color LCD (Silver) Review

I left a full review of the system under the Uniden CLX485, but I wanted to rate the handset as a standalone item.It would be a 4.5 if that was possible.It is a very slick handset with lots of great features.Plus, you can update much of the info on the base model and have it transfer to the handset, which is very convenient.The battery life is also fantastic so far (although I've only had it 1 month).It is easy to get your messages off of each handset and it is easy to page each handset as you can individually label it (basement, kids room, etc).The biggest drawbacks are the ring tones (1990 cell phones come to mind) and the range.The sound quality is fine but the range is not as good as the 2.4 GHZ.We used to be able to be down our block a decent distance without a problem, now we can barely leave the house and the phone becomes only static.Not a huge drawback as we don't take the phone outside, but it is a concern to some people.Overall, we like the handsets quite bit. 4.5 out of 5.

Product Description:
This stylish accessory handset from Uniden allows you to expand your existing 5.8 GHz phone system, including CLX485 and CLX465, by adding an additional handset location. The TCX440 comes loaded with features and utilizes 5.8 GHz digital technology, offering an exceptionally clear signal and increased range. The handset supports caller ID and call waiting, with a caller ID memory of 100 numbers. A 100-name and 400-number phone directory help you keep track of important numbers, while a handset-to-handset memory transfer feature makes it easy to transfer phonebook entries between handsets. With the full-color LCD, you can view pictures to match your callers. Use preset images or download your own using the supplied USB cable and software.
The TCX440 provides 20 preset ringer tones and comes with an audio cable that lets you record your favorite songs or audio clips as ringtones. You can adjust handset and ringer volume levels, while headset compatibility (a belt clip is included) and a built-in speakerphone let you communicate hands-free. The last-number redial feature lets you quickly call any of the last 20 outgoing numbers, and a mute button lets you silence your end of the conversation while still allowing you to hear the other party.
In DirectLink mode, two handsets act as two-way radios, while a room/baby monitor setting lets you listen in on another handset location. The intercom lets you talk easily talk with another handset location, and five-way conferencing lets multiple handsets communicate with an outside line. The joystick makes menu navigation easy, and you can choose one of three menu languages (English, French, or Spanish). The TCX440 comes with a one-year limited warranty.
