Uniden WXI377

Pros: Tough, highly visible, made by a company with a good reputation.

Cons: Maybe wish it had a few more speed-dial slots.

The Bottom Line: I'd buy this kind of phone all over again after 2 years of use.

Review: A few years ago I was talking with a newspaper editor, and he told me that he had all his photographers use Nikonos 35 mm cameras. That intrigued me. As you may know, the Nikonos camera was a 35 mm camera made with a hardened shell around it so that it ...

Pros: floats, visible in water, durable, fantastic product

Cons: Clarity if base is not near enough to the water

Review: I purchased the uniden water resistant for use around, and in, our backyard pool. We have regular cordless Unidens for in the house, and this water-resistant model has all the features, but can actually be used in a pool. A couple of nice features are ...

Pros: Somewhat watertight, good integrated features

Cons: Doesnt last, poor reception, poor battery

The Bottom Line: Avoid this model like the plague

Review: I spend a lot of time in my swimming pool, and was really intriqued by this product.I have had another Uniden phone (900mhz EX-945 "extend a phone") since the early 1990s and it still works great, in spite of having been thrown across rooms ...

Pros: Waterproof, you can answer and tell the person you'll call them back.

Cons: Poor reception makes it all but unusable.

Review: Waterproof? Yes. But the reception will have you jumping out of the pool to use another phone. Terrible reception in and out of the water. Great idea, but it's virtually ...

Pros: Looks cool.

Cons: Crappy phone

Review: Bought this phone to use by the hot tub. Bad reception. Constant buzz in background. Range was less that 50 feet. Returned it the next ...

Pros: IT LOOKS "COOL"

Cons: VERY POOR RANGE, POOR AUDIO QUALITY, AUDIO HUM IN HANDSET

Review: THIS IS A VERY POOR QUALITY CORDLESS. I GOT ABOUT A 40 FOOT RANGE. THE AUDIO ON MINE IS NOT GOOD AT ALL, PLUS I HAVE A STEADY HUM WHEN THE PHONE IS IN USE. THE RANGE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE SHORT STUBBY ANTENNA IN THE HANDSET. COMPARE THE ANTENNA ...

Pros: yellow - easy to find.

Cons: poor performance, heavy, poor ergonomics, NOT rugged! Will easily allow water to leak in.

Review: We bought it with the idea that we could take emergency phone calls in the shower or keep a phone close by when swimming. But the phone just doesn't perform. Even two rooms away, it's filled with static and loses the signal. Repeated channel changes ...
