Great Little All In One Unit
This is a great little alarm clock/cordless phone unit. The display is large and easy to read. There are three different brightness levels, so the display is easy to read during the day, but can be dimmed so it doesn't prevent you from falling asleep when the lights are off. When the phone rings, the caller's name and number are displayed both on the cordless handset and the base unit. If another phone is in use somewhere in the house, the base unit displays 'Line In Use', which is also nice. Th...

meh
over priced, but nice looking.
The ring tones for the phone are annoying, 3 that are basically the same annoying tone in different speeds. The alarm lights is bright, you can tone it down but, well I like the brightness so thats a plus for me.
It looks nice, but once again its sort of over priced for what it is. The phone is not very clear and I find myself saying "what?" alot, but, its not unusable, its just not very clear.

LCDs are a problem
It is a great idea to combine all these functions to minimize space occupied on the bedside table, but no designers seem to have tested the ergonomics of LCDs in these devices.
We have sought a telephone clock radio since our last one died. We have bought and returned three, including one GE, because LCDs are generally a terrible design choice in this type of device. If brightness is high enough to read the time in a dark room then it will keep you awake, but if it is dim enough for ...

Great Clock/Radio/Phone
Brilliant. I love using the caller ID to sync time with the phone company (Atomic time accuracy). The alarm can be set to use any of the radio presets or a buzzer. The description is misleading: each alarm can be set to use the radio (and on separate stations). The audio is decent on both the radio and the handset.

Better than most, but room for improvement.
I really liked my old GE clock phone, but it was corded and had no caller ID. So I got the first GE cordless clock phone, but the reception was terrible and it only had 1 alarm. This has much better reception and 2 alarms, but a few things could be improved. First, like others mentioned, it is hard to hang up, especially when you're 1/2 awake. The prior model has a better cradle. Second, it should have manual switches for turning the alarms on/off - holding those digital buttons takes too l...

Crap Crap Crap
I love the look of this phone and it doesn't take up too much space on my desk- that is about the only nice thing about it.
-The phone ring sounds more like an alarm going off than a phone ringing. Although you can turn the ring off, if you forget it's VERY disturbing if you are napping and the phone rings. You will jump a few feet off of your bed if this happens.
-Setting the alarm is not easy at first, but once you get the idea its fine... BUT Do NOT get this phone if y...

Nice, multifunction, package.
I am pleased with the performance of this unit. The phone has good range, a nice clear, static-free sound, and caller ID. The radio (which can serve as your wakeup call) has easy tuning, good reception and reasonably good sound for a unit this small. My only disappointment is the clock face. It is a backlit LCD that is very bright. A control allows you to lower the brightness in three increments, but at the lowest setting, it is very difficult to see the numerals - they are pretty much washed ou...

Great phone with features
There are several features that I like about this bedroom phone/radio/alarm clock. The alarm buzzer is so different than any other alarm clock I've used I get up with the first alarm, there are two available. The ring tone is different than most do it will get your attention, or you can just disable it. There are several brightnesses for the display which is nice when it comes to trying to sleep at night. Overall I only needed an alarm clock but I got a great phone and radio that is easy to use ...

" You Gotta Have it - - - Phone"
11/4/06 I recently purchased this phone from another seller, I didnot know this phone ever existed. I decided to look on Amazon. Com and I was shocked it was 45 dollars cheaper and I even got free shipping and handling so I ordered another phone from Amazon at a cheaper price I kept the first one for myself and ordered the second one for my teenage son. I like this phone it has great features and I really need the 2 alarms it provides the caller Id and menu are bright and bold and the instruct...

bad design
At first look this is a very nice looking clock radio with great features,but don't waste your money. The time display is hard to read from any angle but straight on, the AM can't receive even a 50,000 watt radio station that's 20mi away, the phone ringer is soft, and the telephone handset is very hard to grasp to lift it from the cradle. Most GE products are very good, but they missed it with this one!
