Motorola SD4581 2.4GH Cordless Phone & Handset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an obssessive shopper, I like to do the research and then try different alternatives. In order to replace our old Motorola system that is a few years old and not working as well as a primary system needs to work, I tried the Uniden TRU8885 as well as the AT&T E5826BC before comming back to Motorola. I won't bore you with the technical details, you can read them for yourself, I will, however, give a summary of overall pros and cons. The reception on the 5.8 gHz sustems was noticable less than the Motorola 2.4 gHz and we have never had any interference from our wireless router. The ATT was nicely designed although the icon menus were difficult to navigate and you had to select the Caller Id (CID) menu from either the handset or the base before you could see calls. Once you selected them, there was no way to have local calls listed without the area code, so you couldn't dial from the CID log as you could from the Uniden and the Motorola. The Udiden was set up better but because of the 5.8 gHz freq has less reception than the 2.4 gHz Motorola, I found the buttons alittle small on the Uniden and ending calls was not always reliable as many times the phone rang after hanging up with the other party still connected. In addition, the Uniden answering machine picks up briefly every times the phone rings and is not answered even if the caller hangs up. I have found the Motorola's menu to be easy to navigate and very intuative. ATT and Uiden make a big deal about ring-tones which I don't care about, and ATT sings the praises of their color display that allows you to assign an icon for people in your phonebook. again, I don't care, I think that the Motorola is much easier to use, the reception has always been good, and the product reliable. I would by the Moto in a heartbeat over the competition.
