Summary: Desk phone - I think not
Review: Big time design flaw on this. I just returned the phone because when it is sitting on a desk, you can't possibly see the caller id readout. It is tilted towards the back of the phone so you have to stand up everytime you get a call. Might be okay as a wall phone.

Summary: Superb product
Review: Caller ID readout is easy to see while seated if you set this up as a desk phone. As pointed out by other reviewers, it comes out of the box ready to mount on a wall. (This has been standard on the last three phones I have purchased.) Changing the position of the bracket for use as a desk phone is easy. LCD readout has adjustable clarity levels. This phone is full-featured and attractively priced. Exceptional value for anyone who can follow simple directions.

Summary: poor quality
Review: everything works on the phone just fine out of the box (to those who disparage the unit being hard to read- just snap on the enclosed piece of plastic with legs to elevate the display... if you read the enclosed the setup instructions it is pretty plain to follow), however after only 5 or 6 months of use, the unit has completely failed. I cannot dial out or pick up an incoming call. the warranty (of course) has expired... so into the trash can it goes I guess. I expect more out of products than just a 6 month service life. stay away from this model and find a better quality alternative!

Summary: Seems to be somewhat buggy...
Review: For some reason the phone will not capture long distance CID information where all my other phones will; calls from within the programmed "Local Area Codes" all capture fine. Ergonomics are OK, but you will need to keep an external CID box inline with the phone to make sure you're not losing call information - kind of defeating the point of a phone having built-in CID. A Panasonic speakerphone and external CID box may be a better, though pricier choice.

Summary: Good product
Review: I bought this for my mom because she needed a new phone, loves big buttons, and caller ID with name. The price is certainly amazing. She is madly in love with this phone; it's like her dream phone - and she is very hard to please. From the other end - speaking to her - I can hear a slight echo. I know when I've called and this is the phone she's answered. Perhaps the echo is in her kitchen, where the phone is, but I don't think so - I think it's a bit "cheap," or worth it's price. It's not awful, and not even terrible - it's just fine, but I hear that little bit of echo.

Summary: Great phone at this price
Review: I bought this phone a year ago to replace another aging AT&T speaker phone for home use (speaker phone is a must if you do a lot of phone conference, or talk to customer service which will put you on hold for half an hour). Overall I am satisfied with the phone's quality, function and relability.
The phone is retively easy to setup, even without manuals. All plugs and holes can be easily matched. It needs a power adapter for the LCD display and speaker phone to work, but if electricity is out, the phone still works, just without these functions. It is a good design decision (but I hope speaker phone could still work since my previous AT&T phone does that).
It has four illuminate indicators (new call, line status, mute, speaker). They provide good feedback and I like them very much. Every button you press will generate a beep which is also a good indicator of what you are doing. Good design.
Caller id function works reasonably well. Dial back is a breeze. It even append "1" ahead of area code if caller id phone number does not have that. It is a breeze calling back.
Phone quality is very good as you can expect from a land phone. It is loud too so you complain about not hearing clearly.
There is a phone jack outlet which could be used for modem connection (you don't need to plug your modem in another phone jack). You just use a short phone line from this phone to your computer. This is convenient if you use a computer modem on the same desktop.
Reliability? Have used this for roughly a year and no problem so far. The very reason I bought this one is my previous AT&T speaker phone is very reliable - I bought that one second hand and used that for another 5 years.
It does have some shortcomings though. One thing I found the handset feels too light and sometime I wonder if I place the handset correctly in the base. Another thing is the LCD screen may be tilted more toward user - currently if your desk is high or you don't sit high, the screen may be too flat to view clearly.

Summary: Good quality - perfect features!
Review: I bought this phone for my home office and have found it to be great. As always, AT&T is good for quality, but this phone also has all my necessary features. The screen displays the time & date as well as the caller id/call waiting telephone number and name. You can also use the "display dial" to redial a number appearing on caller id and even has a hold button along with speakerphone. Basically, you get lots of features for a good price!

Summary: white noise in the background
Review: I had to return this phone because of the level of the background noise, which I found unacceptable. The sound quality was not very good on mine. When you turn up the volume to hear the other person better, of course the noise gets amplified as well. The other problem I noticed with it was that I could hear my own voice stronger than what I am used to. This can be problematic when both parties happen to speak at the same time. You can miss some of the other person's words because of the echo of your own voice.

Summary: Have to stand up to see caller id.
Review: I'm amazed at this design flaw. I don't have space to wall mount this phone, so It must sit on my desk. However, when it sits on the desk, the display is tilted backwards (away from the person sitting at the desk), so I must stand up to read caller id display (to decide if I want to answer the phone). How annoying. The whole reason I got a speakerphone was so that I could work uninterrupted at my desk if I wanted to answer calls. Now I have to stop my work and stand up to decide. If you can wall mount this phone, the display would be easily visible, and the phone might otherwise work great. I never got as far as to try it.
