base + handset review [Posted on 2006-02-23]
Performs well with good range. No answer machine, which I didn't realize when purchased.
Overall a great phone [Posted on 2006-03-04]
I've had the CLX465 for about 4 months now and I'm extremely pleased with it.
The phone (and its extension handsets) replaced a Siemens phone that I had that died on me after a year of use (and of course was out of warranty....even the Siemens CS rep told me I was better off to just throw it away then to get it repaired)
The phone has many features as many people have noted. Being able to download numbers from outlook is a big plus. Being able to download pictures and ringtones to the phone is a nice "gee whiz" factor, but it's just that...a phone is a phone...I want to talk on it and answer it when it rings. I really don't care about the ring or the picture on the phone (although you can assign rings to numbers/callers so if the inlaws are in the phone a nice siren ringtone may be in order).
Pros:
Decent range--I have a 6000+sqft home and the phone works well throughout the home and even outside. The base station is located on the mid level on the home.
Great speaker phone on the handset--I'm using the phone with Vonage and when you have a bunch of voicemails it's nice to be able to use the speakerphone on the handset. It's plenty loud and has very good clarity.
Outlook contacts sync--So nice to finally have a phone with this feature
Cons:
Amber glow--I don't care so much for the amber glow of the phone, but if you like amber then what are you waiting for...get this phone!!!
LCD resolution is poor--If you are getting this phone because you can put pictures of your callers on it and you get lots of calls from hot looking people, you'll be disappointed in what this phone will do for your dreams. Then again, if your callers look like the orcs from LOTR, you'll appreciate the lower resolution.
Handset comfort--this isn't the least comfortable phone I've had, but it's not the most comfortable either. If you're on the phone for hours at a time, you may want to look for a more confortable phone, but for 20 minutes conversations it's fine.
I'll have to see how this phone is doing after a year, but right now it looks and sounds like a winner.
Good Phone [Posted on 2007-02-17]
I have bought many cordless phones in the past that turned out to be junk, but this one is good quality, I would buy it again.

NO REDIAL, TERRIBLE LCD QUALITY [Posted on 2007-11-30]
Uniden CLX465 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Color LCD Handset and Dual Keypads (Silver)
I gave this phone two stars instead of one because of the base three line LCD screen and speaker phone. That is the only good thing I can say about this phone. The hand set has no redial and the color LCD I would rate a 2 out of 10. The LCD is fuzzy and dated looking. The base unit has an annoying orange color and the LCD is just as bad as the handset only worse because of the terrible color. The direct link is a joke and only works if the phones are not put in the charger or if you don't make or receive a call. I really wanted to have a phone I could intercom to the kids upstairs, but unfortunately each time somebody makes or receives a call the whole direct link things turns off. To start it again each handset has to be reset, and this can only be done through numerous menu selections. I am looking for a new phone and this one is only a few months old. Also the expandable 400 handset has the same annoying and poor LCD screen and color and also no redial. I would pass on this phone. It's too bad Uniden didn't put just a little more into the LCD and add a redial button, because the base key pad and 3 line LCD features are what sold me.
