I was very disappointed in this product
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 14, 1999The 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.

Reduces nightstand clutter!
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Aug 23, 1999I 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.

Almost a winner
(2 out of 5) by Denise on Jan 5, 2002 (Valkaria, FL USA)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.

don't buy GE
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 22, 2003 (Brookline, MA USA)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.

What a piece of garbage!!
(1 out of 5) by Rosanne on Jan 7, 2003 (Montrose, NY United States)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
