5.0 out of 5 stars It's great, May 3, 2006

This review is from: GE Corded Bedroom Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID (Office Product)

The previous reviewer thought the backlight was too bright but it has three settings so I have not found that to be a problem. The radio is clear and the phone quality is excellent. The contrast on the caller id can be set for easy reading at a glance, even without my glasses. I also like that I can turn off the ringer on the phone. The delivery from Amazon was quick. And I got free shipping. All in all I'm very pleased.

3.0 out of 5 stars basically pleased, March 28, 2006

This review is from: GE Corded Bedroom Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID (Office Product)

I read reviews on several of these types of phones and they weren't real good so, I admit I was leary of the fact this one hadn't been reviewed. But I have usually had good luck with anything that has the GE name. I've only had my phone a week, but I'm basically pleased with it. The main reason I got it was to have an all in one unit and free up some nightstand space and it does that quite nicely. There are only 2 minor things:(1)the backlit blue is kind of bright and it can make the numbers a little hard to read,(2)it's a little tricky to find the alarm off button when you're just waking up. The radio seems to track well and the sound is good and clear. I would recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Quality Unit, September 6, 2006

This is one of those units that had potential but I guess when you build it in China and get it for less than $30, you get what you pay for.

Pros:
1. Compact unit/phone clock/radio
2. Can set two seperate alarms

Cons:
1. Screen lighting is too bright--no way to adjust the intensity lighting.
2. Unit allows you to adjust screen contrast using 5 settings but if you try to change it (more/less contrast), the text on the screen becomes pretty much unreadable/useless.
3. Manual fine-tunning for radio stations is difficult.
4. No automatic radio tuning! You can get this feature in those cheap $3 miniture/pocket radios.
4. Radio reception is very poor. This unit doesn't pick up many local radio stations even if those stations are the main ones in town.
