Default [OT] Are there any REALLY good cordless phones out there?

I have some Siemens 2.4GHz spread-spectrum phones that worked great! I've
since dumped my land line all togeather. The wife, and I just use our own
cell phones.

I've owned many cordless phones over the years, including some of the
newest 5.8 ghz and 2.4 ghz phones. Obviously, some work better then
others. However, I've noticed a failing among ALL of them, maybe
others have noticed the same.

When you are more than just a short distance from the base unit, these
phones all work fine as long as you are not moving, i.e. standing
still. If you start to move, the signal will begin to break up. I
have a retail location that necessitates being about 150 to 200 feet
from the base unit, and all of the newer phones that I've tried do
this. They are unusable in my situation, because I have to move
around while talking.

I have an older Uniden exs9110 that I bought maybe 4-5 years ago, it's
a 900mhz phone with DSS, it doesn't have this problem. It's the best
phone I've ever had, it has a very long range, I can walk a block
away, moving, and it keeps the signal very strong.

None of the phones I've tried in the last year (and I've tried many)
will do this, not even the 900 mhz units I've seen.
The ones that come the closest are the Panasonic units with dual base
antennas, but they are still way behind performance to the old Uniden.

I have had other phones in the past besides the Uniden, they were all
900mhz units, DSS, and they ALL did better than ANY of the newer
units.

If anyone knows of a current-production unit that will perform as well
as my old Uniden, I'd really appreciate knowing what it is.

Please send me mail to:

thanks
