4.0 out of 5 stars Style over features, but a great phone, July 12, 2008

This phone looks way cooler than anything else out there and it goes great with our new Stainless Steel kitchen. I bought it after reading several reviews that were right on.

1) Plastic, not stainless steel. But it looks identical sitting on the kitchen wall.
2) The holes are about 1/2" closer together than the hanger heads on the phone faceplate, but the bottom hole on the phone has a split bottom so it actually does get some grip when I hung it. It's a little floppy so I plan to put a piece of blue painter's tape on the heads so it'll be tighter.
3) The caller ID screen on the base is beautifully green and the red LED counter displaying the number of messages is fantastic. I am so tired of tiny little text on LCD screens.
4) It's made by Thomson for GE and honestly, there is nothing else like it out there.
5) I bought 3 extra handsets to put in other places in the house. They go nicely with the brushed nickel finish on our light fixtures and door handles. 6) The included instruction sheet is just as maddening as those large highway maps we used to keep in the glove compartments. Way too big and hard to refold. But once I installed the phone and learned the handset menus, I didn't need it anymore, shoved it back in the box and put it in the closet.
7) The handset's default volume is set at 2 so I had to bump it up to 5 when I made my first call so I could hear the other person well enough.
8) There is no headset jack, but I don't think I'll care.
9) Handsets don't have speaker phone, but the base does.

My next project is going to be to hide a UPS in the cabinets below and run the power cord in the wall down there so no cords are showing and the phone will work when we lose house electricity.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice to look at but does it work?, November 29, 2008

This review is from: GE 27909EE1 Cordless Stainless Steel Finish DECT 6.0 Phone with Digital Answerer & Caller ID (Electronics)

I purchased this phone because it's rare to find a wall-mountable telephone that has a base actually flush with the wall, not protruding. However, I never determined how well it worked because I had a lot of difficulty during the set-up process with registering the phones and finally called Customer Service. The first person told me to unplug everything (phone and electric cord) and wait 15 minutes. When that didn't work, I called Customer Service again and learned I needed to also unplug the batteries. I called Customer Service a third time when I couldn't remove the back (cover) of the phones to get at the batteries. There is a button on the bottom of the phone that you're required to press simultaneously with pushing the back off "as hard as you can." Why should it be so difficult to get at batteries? This phone is pretty but poorly designed. Looks get you only so far, even with telephones.

5.0 out of 5 stars No problems so far, October 17, 2008

We've been using this product for about 6 months now with no problems.
The stainless steel finish is actually a metallic colored plastic.
The volume turns up quite loud. I keep the volume set a 1 and my husband puts it up to 4, so it's it's good for the whole family.
The ringer can be heard by all as well and the answering machine playback is clear sounding.
