jadp: costco now carries a uniden 900 mhz cordless phone (not spread
spectrum, unfortunately) for $89.95. i bought the same phone at frye's
for $139.95 last summer: it works very well in san francisco (in the
upper haight) in an area that other cordless phones have had troubles,
probably because of the proximity of sutro tower.

the uniden also allows a headset to be plugged into it, so you can
talk on it hands-free while it's clipped to your belt.

i'm not connected with costco or with uniden: just an unsolicited
plug.
