The idea is a good one, but I found it flawed, especially in two ways. First, even during simple movements like hanging up the phone it is practically impossible to avoid hitting the the time-set buttons and accidently changing the time... not a good thing when you are counting on the clock to get up for work. Second, if you have the radio on and the phone rings, the radio is supposed to shut off when the receiver is lifted. This didn't work, and as I recall required some drastic measures to get the malfunctions reset (like unplugging the thing.) I hope that others can counter my experience with success, but I was not happy with the GE clock radio phone.

I ordered this telephone in order to reduce the clutter of a telephone and clock radio on my nightstand. I am very happy with the telephone. The nightlight is fairly bright, but not overly so. The sound quality of the radio is very good, and it has better reception than my normal radio! The one negative is the cord that reaches from the phone to the phone jack was much too short (my phone jack is over 12 feet away from my nightstand). I solved the problem by buying an extension If your phone jack is near your nightstand, you shouldn't have any problem.

Good idea but bad implementation of what a bedroom clock should be.
The viewing angle of the LCD on the Bedroom Clock Radio Phone is very poor. Unless you look at the clock directly you can not tell what the time is. There is also an anoying green flashing light to indicate a new call is listed on the caller ID. If GE were to change out the LCD and remove the green light this would be a 5 star product.

Their products are full of glitches. This bedroom phone stopped displaying the Caller ID correctly the first time I bought it. After I brought it back to the store for a replacement, the time was always wrong. It would show the right time when a call came in, but would get stuck there until the next call. Look for similar statements about other GE phones and take the advice not to buy a GE phone.

Don't waste your money on this item. You can't read the display at all, so you never know what time it is. The base is so light that when you answer the phone, the base comes along and falls off the nightstand. GE, you should be ashamed of yourself! I always trusted that brand name.... until now

Ummmm... I have this phone and it does have an alarm and caller ID, but NO AM/FM radio as stated in the description. You can choose either the buzzer or some annoying electronic "music" to wake to. There are some good features such as the dual alarm, but the negatives offset this. The display is VERY bright making it hard to sleep and sometimes when I hit the snooze button, it "freezes" the clock until the alarm is turned off, thus making the time 9 minutes slow. The phone cord is way too short as well. Not a bad phone for the price I guess, but I was very disappointed.

Trying to discern the time or phone number at night or day in the prone position is virtually impossible due to the poor quality of the lighting display . Who wants to get up to read the time or phone number ?? Not me.

Great idea but a terrible phone. It's impossible to read except if you are directly above the phone. Also the delete for removing calls from caller id didn't consistantly work. The lcd screen was too bright and hard to read if lowered.

I love the caller ID/phone/alarm/clock combo idea...but I agree with the others, it's hard to read the LCD, it's annoyingly bright, it's too easy to reset the time, and my pet peeve: the phone HANDSET does not fit well/easily into the cradle...therefore it's too easy to bump off and it seems like always off the hook. Good idea that needs alot of redesign!

Very dificult to read the LCD screen from most angles. Too easy to accidentally change the time when you are changing the alarm. There are too many buttons to push in order to change any of the clock's settings. Overall, a very poor design. I've had this phone only two months, and I have twice changed the time inadvertantly, causing me to be late for work. I'm seeking a replacement.
