2.0 out of 5 stars Junk, February 11, 2002

By	Greg Erdman (Big Bend, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Essentially its a hunk of junk. First the lens over the display fell off. The phone cord is so short that if you answer the phone from a standing position the whole unit is dragged off the nitestand. The volume control is either loud or off. The display, even on the lowest setting, can be read by in even a totally dark room. But, the phone works great, it comes on when it should, and it sounds good even with a 1960's analog tuning dial. Gee, I didn't think you could get a radio with a tuning dial anymore.

2.0 out of 5 stars Electronics Fan, July 3, 2002

By A Customer

When I first got this phone about 7 or 8 months ago, the only thing that bothered me was the FM tuning dial (antiquated/hard to tune in ANY station) and the clock display, even on low, was BRIGHT! Now, bit by bit the phone is falling apart. First off, it is advertised as a CALLER/ID/CALLWAITING ID (or at least mine was)..which it is NOT. It is ONLY Caller ID, if you are on the other line, there is no display of who is calling IN. Most of the time the Caller ID DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! As time goes by, caller id numbers pop up less and less...I'd say out of 10 calls coming in, it displayed only one. Next up, last week the radio started acting up. It can no longer be turned off! In other words, the alarm no longer works because on every setting (off/on/radio/alarm)the radio plays. All I can do is just turn the radio volume down and use it as a clock...and phone...no alarm, no caller ID...it's a piece of trash! UGGGHH!!!!! The only thing good about this phone is the voice quality which you get with ANY corded phone!

2.0 out of 5 stars You get less than what you pay for!, May 28, 2003

By A Customer

Unfortunately, when I bought this phone, I got less than what I paid for... There are no bargains or good deals with this phone..
--==THE BAD==-- ** The radio dial tunes very badly ** The caller ID is very difficult to see and poorly lit ** The handset cord is only 12 inches long coiled up and if streched more than 18 inches you will pull the base from whatever you have it sitting on ** the phone cord that plugs into the wall is permanently attached to the base set and can not be switched for a longer one, this is not good if your phone jack is more than 2 feet away, you would have to buy an adapter to extend the cord ** The worst thing about this is the fact that you can hear music from the radio bleeding into the phone line, the radio and alarm are OFF, this is very annoying, I could live with the other short comings, but this is the worst thing about this, if anyone knows how to solve this issue please send me an email
++==THE GOOD==++ ** I Like the bright display, even dim is very bright ** I like the oversized snooze button **
