From the Manufacturer

The GE DECT 6.0 Stainless Steel cordless phone features DECT 6.0 technology (won't interfere with home WiFi networks) for crystal clear communication. Other advanced features include call waiting and backlit caller ID, a digital answering system, a speaker phone, and a digital message center. The phone also comes with a built-in DSL filter, and is wall or desk mountable. Expandable up to four handsets, this system only needs one phone jack--plug in the base system and then simply place extra handsets wherever there is a power outlet.

5.0 out of 5 stars GE 27909EE1 wall phone mounting solved, December 31, 2007

To comment on A.J.Bracuti's complaints:
1. This phone operates like a cell phone. You don't have to scroll through the whole "phone book" contact list; just key the first letter of the contact name and it jumps to that alphabetical position, then you may have to scroll from there. But you can minimize that by prefix letters; eg all my take-out restaurants have RST<space> as the first four letters. I like it better than the 9-entry scheme. With appropriate letter prefixes you could emulate a 9-entry list.
2. I too was disappointed that there apparently isn't even a non-standard wall plate with the required mounting-lug spacing available, and in the installation instructions there is no specific mating wall plate identified. (The ATT wall phone this replaces did have two optional spacings: one the standard and the other the same as this GE phone.) There is a simple solution though: Use the upper lug as-is and, instead of using the lower lug, replace the lower screw holding the plate to the box frame with a slightly longer screw with a slightly larger pan head; it's at just the right spacing; if you let it stand out ~1/4", you can clip the phone on and it's snug & securely mounted.

As others have commented, it is plastic & not stainless steel (which would have been really cool). The range, clarity & telephone functions are all fine. The only thing I would change is the handset loudness; I can just barely adjust it as loud as I need it. Given that there are so few true wall-mount phones available, I would buy it again. (Most so-called wall phones, like Panasonic, have adapters that are really just shelves that stick out too far.)

3.0 out of 5 stars GE 6.0 Phone, July 27, 2007

1. Most phones have the ability to dial at least nine numbers by pressing a "memory button" and hitting an assigned number. This phone does not. You have to scroll through their "Phone Book" and select your number.

2. If you are mounting it on a wall, the phone does not mate with a standard wall mounting plate. I had to modify the back of the phone in order to mount it to a wall.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good looking and works great, June 10, 2007

Good looking phone, with the stainless steel look, green numeric display and red message counter. Mounts flush against the wall, dosen't "stick out" like many other wall mount phones. Good basic phone and digital answering machine with just enough features without being too complicated. It may cost a bit more, but like I said, it looks good on the wall.
