Home Telephone

I have a Uniden PowerMax 5.8mhz TRU8885. It has served me fairly well
over the years, but working from home nearly 100% of the time has
taken its toll. It is really falling short when it comes to hands free.
It can only be connected to the wireless handset, which uses the battery,
which dies pretty fast (well, not that fast, but when i’m on a call for
8+ hours, it ain’t gonna last).
I guess one solution would be to be another handset and base and
connect them. Then I could swap handsets and let the other charge.
That’s not a bad idea cuz we’d like to have another handset available.

However, my real goal was to get handsfree connected to the base unit
so it doesn’t need a battery.

The headset i have kinda sucks too. It is not this model, but similar:

The mic doesn’t pick up my voice unless I hold it next to my mouth, that
completely defeats the purpose of having a headset for handsfree operation.
I’m a pretty tough customer because in-ear bugs me and over ear is only
slightly less annoying. I do use the speaker phone when I can (my wife
works from home so i can’t be on speaker phone when she’s on her work
phone). Plus, i have to stick my face next to the nic on the base to
be heard (sometimes).

Let me summarize:

* Base unit with speaker phone (must)
* Base unit with good mic (must)
* Base unit with numbers to dial (must)
* 5.8 mhz (must)
* Headset that is truly hands free (must)
* Base unit with headset jack (almost must)
* Wireless unit with speaker phone (almost must)
* Mulitple wireless units (almost must)

Any recommendations?
