Amazon.com Product Description
The Uniden TRU-4465-2 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum cordless phone optimizes your communications at home or in a small office with dual handsets, call transfer, and phone book memory, among many other features.
The two sleekly designed handsets store in a charging cradle. You can transfer calls between handsets in different locations and note the handset status with an LED indicator. The caller ID displays menus in Spanish, English, and French (with service subscription for call waiting or caller ID). Also included is convenient dialing with dynamic caller ID memory and last-three-number redial.
Uniden digital technology ensures clarity and security with features to provide all the basic benefits you look for in a phone. Set your preference with distinctive rings: four melody ringers and six ring tones. You can scroll through caller ID and memory while on a call. An indicating light lets you know when you have voicemail waiting. The phone comes ready for a headset with a built-in jack. The NiMH battery has a long life with 10 days on standby and six hours of talk time.
Customer Reviews:
Uniden TRU-4465 Phone is OK!.......2006-03-21
I bought this phone a couple years ago. Replaced one battery on one handset only because my daughter insisted on using it across the street at the laundry matt. She was warned not to because it would kill the battery too fast. It has good range too. I am able to travel approximately a 4 minute walk to the store and still receive a connection and make/receive calls. I reccomend it.
Breaks easily and the WORST customer service.......2004-06-17
Had to send the base unit back TWICE due to it not charging the handset. Was able to send it back after many, many phone calls and explanations to the rep. Have had this phone for less than one year and already hate it for it's unreliability and lack of functions.
WORST customer service I've ever encountered. Well, except for Dell, but that's another review.
I recommend the Panasonic MultiTalk. It costs a little more but worth it.
using it as a speakerphone didn't work.......2004-03-12
The handsets for this worked great but the mic for the speakerphone was under the machine so to get it to pick up my voice at all I had to lift it up and talk into it. Since this kind of defeats the purpose of a speakerphone, I had to return it. I'm bummed - it worked great otherwise.
Still The Best After A Year.......2004-02-25
I have been using this product for about a year now (since April 2003) and it is literally the happiest I have ever been with a retail cordless phone system. I telecommute and I am on the phone constantly with work and clients, to say nothing of family and friends. Despite 5+ hours a day of talk time, these phones never seem to lose their charge or their clarity. The only problem I have with clarity is if someone is running the microwave oven, otherwise the connection is always crisp. The separate stored numbers allow me to have one phone with all my personal information on it, and my roommate to have a separate one. Other reviewers have cited this as a flaw, but anyone living with a teenager or roommate will see it as a blessing. Others have stated that it's a flaw that both phones cannot be on at the same time. As a telecommuter I am grateful for this feature; when I am on a business call there are no unprofessional interruptions made by someone in another part of the house accidentally picking up the phone to make a call while I am speaking on the other handset. The additional handset plugs into a regular outlet - so it provides a great way to have a phone in a room where there isn't a phone jack. The only reason I might have given this a 4 ½ star had it been an option would have been the following reasons:
1. I have a minor hearing problem and I'm sensitive to volume levels. The loudest setting of this phone is what is closer to the medium setting of most other phones. I would like to see a future model offer one or two more amplified levels of volume. The clarity of this phone, however, lets it get away with this much more than the average phone could.
2. I have not, as of yet, found a headset that works well with this phone. This makes it mildly inconvenient for telecommuters like myself. Playtronics headsets work okay, but it's not a stellar match-up. The saving grace is that the speakerphone is very clear, but many clients don't like being on speaker phones.
Overall I am very happy with this little system and have not encountered any concerns in performance or usability over the course of a year. Some of the buttons are small, but in a month or so of using the phone, your hands will instinctively find the right spots, and it's worth it to have an overall compact phone that maintains clarity.
good.......2004-02-19
This is a great phone, especially if used across 2 floors. The base unit in the basement can easily be used with the handset unit placed in the upstairs. Calls are clear, but sometimes there is a "tunneling" effect, which is hardly noticible. the costomizable features of this phone are great, along with the phone book, caller id featers etc. buy it if you're looking for a phone that can be placed elsewhere in the house where a phone jack is unavailable!

Customer Reviews:
Phones work GREAT!!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-19
We had shipping mishap on these phones; but other that they worked FANTASTIC!
Button quit working.......2007-01-02
The buttons quit working after a short while. I took the phones apart, and cleaned the contacts. That worked for a short while, but they quit again.
After a few months of use buttons stop working!!.......2006-09-03
We have had the unit for about one year. We mostly use the handheld unit located in our kitchen. The phone comes with 3 handheld units. We have rotated through all 3 units in our kitchen and are now on our last handheld unit because you cannot dial from the other 2 anymore. No matter how hard you push on the button, they will not dial anymore. We are now, after only 1 year, in the process of buying a new phone. Each handset would only dial for about 3-4 months and then break completely. Horrible Horrible aweful product!!!!!
love this phone.......2006-04-05
We bought an old house with only one (can you believe it) phone jack. The remote handsets don't need phone jacks, just the cradles to recharge them. I love this phone. The only problem I've had is that the number buttons on the main unit started to wear out so I just switched it with another unit. I have neighbors in all directions and our baby monitors interfere with each other all the time but have never had a problem with our phones. I checked since I don't want every hearing my phone conversations. It was also the best priced unit of it's kind on the market at the time.
Fatally Flawed.......2005-10-06
Features & range are good, but the handsets occasionally lose connection with the base unit. Very annoying to miss words during phone conversations. Phone is OK for casual use, but not 100% reliable. AT&T helpdesk blames interference from neighbors' 2.4 GHZ devices. What am I supposed to do? ask my neighbors to shut off their wireless equipment? DON'T BUY.

Amazon.com Product Descriptions
Affordable, user-friendly and surprisingly diminutive, Apple's new eMac series of desktop computers meshes well with situations where space is at a premium and the user is not necessarily a computing expert. It is therefore a particularly good fit in the elementary or high school classroom.
The least expensive member of the new eMac trio, the eMac Desktop 17" M9150LL/A, is distinguished from other eMacs by virtue of its slower processor, smaller hard disk and less capable optical drive format. The unit is powered by an 800 MHz PowerPC G4 processor, 128 MB of SDRAM memory (expandable to one full GB) and an efficient ATI Radeon 7500 graphics chipset with 32 MB of dedicated DDR SDRAM memory. Data handling options include an adequate 40 GB hard disk for file and data storage, a CD-ROM drive through which users may play audio and video CDs and install programs, and a pair of high-speed FireWire 400 ports and five traditional USB 1.1 ports for interaction with peripheral devices such as scanners and digital cameras.
The eMac Desktop 17" M9150LL/A features a variety of E-communication facilities include a standard 56K modem, a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port and an 802.11 wireless connection (with the addition of Apple's AirPort Extreme card). Surprisingly, Apple has managed to equip the system with a generous 17-inch flat CRT display screen while adhering to the space-efficient exterior dimensions of its popular 15-inch-CRT-based iMac.
Bundled software includes Mac OS X, World Book 2003, Quicken 2003 Deluxe, and a broad range of powerful multimedia utilities. Prospective buyers should note that the eMac supports the operation of Mac OS 9 in Classic mode and integrates with most existing printers and scanners.
Customer Reviews:
A PC Hardware Fan is ABSOULTEY RIGHT!.......2004-05-19
I am an apple fan through and through, and when my original iMac finally blew after over 6yrs and had to quickly purchase a new computer, I looked straight to the new eMac models. I researched this product thoroughly and all of the information that I received basically labled both of the eMac models with capabilities of burning CDs, and viewing DVDs. I never knew that there was an eMac model in existence that was sold BEFORE these models. So when I happily purchased this eMac, thinking I was getting a great deal, I was told by the retail associate that ALL of the eMac models had these features. I never knew that this model did NOT. They act like this model didn't even EXIST! I am very disappointed in this purchase mainly because of the misinformation currently available about each of these models. This is just a glorified version of the older iMacs and the manual does not tell you a THING about how to use this new operating system. You will HAVE to purchase supplement manuals by other publishers to even get a CLUE unless you're already familiar with newer iMac models and MacOSX. So, buyers beware. Just make sure that you're getting what you expect to get with this model, and not being misinformed.
Absolutely unfair that Apple would have ever sold this model.......2004-01-22
This computer looks and feels just like the more expensive versions except for a crucial difference...The Superdrive or the Combo drive which Apple is so constantly hyping doesn't come on this model. All you get is a CD rom drive. And if you want to use iDVD or iTunes to burn music? YOu can't! You must buy a separate drive and then hunt on the internet for hack software to try to play DVDs. iDVD will not work AT ALL on your machine. Apple even went so far as to install a microchip to stop your computer from playing iDVD on any drive but a Superdrive. The other problem is Mac OSX. It is a nightmare! Imagine returning to the days when you had to experiment with everything on your computer just to find out how each program worked. There is NO instruction manual for OSX. And it is very non-user friendly. BEWARE and stay far away from Apple. They are interested in only one thing...selling new and newer computers. They will do anything they can to get you to buy a brand new machine.
World's most user-friendly computer at a bargain price........2003-08-02
A recent user survey in PC magazine identified Apple computers as the most reliable and easiest to use computers currently available. Yes, most people use Windows-based PCs, but do you want to be another member of the PC herd -- with all of the problems and frustrations presented by Windows-based PCs -- or are you looking for a computer which is user friendly and seldom crashes? If ease of use and reliability are more important to you than being one of the crowd, please seriously consider buying an Apple. Since the eMac is Apple's least expensive computer, it's a terrific way to enter the user-friendly world of Apple computers at a very reasonable price. And don't be concerned about the 800 MHz processor, this is a very fast computer -- G4 processors are equivalent to Pentium processors twice their speed. If you're willing to try something off the beaten path, you'll love this computer.
