Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Uniden WXI2077 DECT 6.0 Digital Waterproof Cordless Phone with Caller IDCustomer Review: Way better than the competition Summary: 5 Stars
I had a Panasonic drop / water resistant phone for about a year and it did not live up to my expectations from start to finish. The phone kept losing link with the base and turning into a brick. If it was dropped the phone would shut off and lose a link with the base until reseated for a few minutes. I thought it was just me, but my mother has the same phone and suffers from the same issues.
After looking around, this phone seemed to be a solid bet and after using it for a few days, Im confident that it was a good choice. The phone is much more solidly built, durable and rugged than the Panasonic equivalent. They really cant be compared. Panasonic just took their regular phone and added some rubber too it, this phone is encased in rubber and plastic armor. The battery door is screwed in, its highly visible anywhere,which is a nice touch.
The sound quality of this phone was better than my other regular non water resistant DECT 6.0 phones, which was something I did not expect. Its the best sound quality I have personally had out of any of the 3 different DECT phones that I have had. However, Uniden has always been known for good sound quality, so I guess that shouldnt have been a shock. Usually however, when you opt for durability, you lose sound quality, so I was not prepared for the increased quality of sound.
The only issue I have with this phone is that the belt clip looks like it could break if dropped enough. I would have preferred to see some sort of reinforced rubber clip, rather than plastic, but I havent seen any other phones with that either.
Set up is easy if you have one handset, with two, you do actually have to crack open the instruction manual. Its a simple process, but not intuitive. That is my only small complaint with setup, however, Uniden made up for it by allowing interchangeability between the base handset and the accessory handset. Either handset can be charged in either the base station or accessory charger without registration or fit issues. The phones are identical and that is something I have longed for in a durable DECT 6.0 phone.
You wont find any frills on the base station, but the phone itself has every feature that you would expect from any new DECT 6.0 phone.
If you need a durable DECT 6.0 phone, dont bother looking elsewhere, your not going to find anything better on the market.
