1.0 out of 5 stars Bad phone, bad clock, September 11, 2003

This phone is awful! You can't see the display unless you are standing above it, so you can't see the time from bed. The phone sounds so bad that I will walk to the kitchen to answer instead of picking up in the bedroom. Sound is terrible and crackely on both the phone and the radio. Really a poorly made product.

I agree!! This clock/phone is awful! You cannot tell what time it is unless you hit a button to have it light up! What kind of clock is not lit up? The LCD display is awful on the caller ID. Even trying to move the phone around to look at a different angle does not work. I am definitely returning this item. Good idea, but very bad design.

The readout on the alarm is useless as it is not backlit. You must push a button to get the time in the middle of the night. Once you do that, chances are good that you won't be able to see the time anyway unless you lift your head to EXACTLY the right angle.

Once I got used to the time problem (I put a small clock with a lit readout next to the phone), the phone itself stopped working (doesn't ring and you can't make a call)! The readout on the phone is bad and also does not light up, which makes it impossible to use at night in an unlit room.

I have only owned the phone for 6 months, it is most disappointing to say the least!
