Uniden DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Two Extra Handsets (DECT1580-3) Review

I've only begun using it today, and it appears to work quite well. Nice, clear signal, loaded with a lot of good features, but the lack of an input for a headset really has me scratching my head. Why did they leave off so valuable a feature, I'd much rather they left out some of the more esoteric, & superfluous ones they've added.

While it does have the capability of using the handset as a speakerphone, I'd much prefer the privacy & portability of plugging a headset in. If I'm doing something in the kitchen or even at the computer, a speakerphone will pick up far more of the background noise than a mic by my mouth, and I'll be able to hear better with a speaker by my ear, than sitting on a table or counter. Plus, if I want to be walking around, with the phone in my pocket, it will make both me, and the person I'm speaking to, have a very difficult time hearing each other.

I'm not sure if this will move me go to the trouble of returning it, it may, cause it's either deal with the inconvenience now, one time, or experience many more days of inconvenience, due to no headset, later.....
