Gentlefolk;
Definitely NOT e-book related,but I need some info from some literate techno-geeks.
Our venerable Uniden 900Mhz wireless phones are biting the dust. Super range, love the phones. We are out in the country, and we need the range of these phones.
Of course, anything that works well, by some law, is no longer made. So I can't find 900 Mhz phones anymore.
Apparently, next on the list is the DECT phones, but I haven't found any info on the anticipated range of these units... and reviews I have found fall into: 1) perfect, phone works well within my bedroom, or 2) Useless, the phones spontaneously turn off and have no talk time.
Neither of these types of comments either shed light on the issues or reassure me enough to pull the trigger.
Requirements: 2-line, two cordless handset (expandable to a third is optional), superior range - 300 meters or so would be reasonable.
I got an AT&T 5.8 Ghz phone, and it was useless.. couldn't even use that from the office to the kitchen (down one floor and 30 meters away), and failed completely outside the house.
So, Im cursing old, but very usable technology no longer being available, and being replaced by new, but useless technology.
Did I say I love my Kindle? Who needs books??
Thx!
Don
