Summary: Really good phone, but a few usability issues
Review: First, the sound quality of the phone is great -- and it does have good range and doesn't seem to have interference problems. The user interface on the phone is fine and it is comfortable to use when you need to do something else with your hands. The two complaints I have about it is that there is no way to change the headset with a different one since the headset is built in. The headset is comforable to wear BUT there is this joint that catches my hair and sometimes I sacrafice a few strands to it. Since the headset is part of the phone, I have to live with this problem. The other usuability problem is that you always have to take the unit out of the charge base in order to answer the phone. I have this phone by my computer, so often I can wear the headset very near the charge base -- but I always have to remember that I need to take the phone out of the base EVEN though it looks like I could easily use it by leaving it in. Despite these problems, I still would recommend the phone.

Summary: Terrible quality
Review: Great phone for around three months. This is my second as I thought the first one breaking was a fluke. The second one broke after the same time period, same exact symptoms. Expensive disposable phone.

Summary: Gr8 Idea; Cheaply Made
Review: I bought 1 of these about 2-1/2 yrs ago from [a local store] & loved the concept. The 1st thing 2 go was the belt clip; due 2 its flimsiness, it just wouldn't 'hold' in the correct position. Whenever I bent over during a conversation, the clip would rock in the opposite direction & the phone would fall completely off. That was it 4 the clip; from then on, I either carried the thing or stuck it in a pocket--that worked.

The next thing 2 go was the headset: the 'adjustable' portion kept coming out of its 'track' & that was that. Overall, it's a gr8 idea & very convenient 2 use. Now, if GE would just get its act 2gether & make it a bit sturdier/durable, they'd be able 2 ask 4 more... & get it, compared 2 all these other manufacturers. Lastly, incorpor8ing a modular instead of hard-wired headset would make it easier 2 replace parts (i.e., broken headset).

Summary: This phone is great, why discontinue??
Review: I bought this for my mom since she liked the one I had. Although hers broke after a couple years, she wants a new one and I can't seem to find them for sale anymore!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's great while it lasts!
Review: I have had my phone for about 9 months and have absolutely LOVED it. The sound quality is clear and I appreciate the volume control feature. I spend a lot of time on the phone and it really frees my hands so I can do chores while talking. But...

1. The belt clip is pretty useless; the phone keeps falling off. I often end up putting the phone in the large pocket of a robe or jacket.

2. After only 9 months the phone has died. I think the cord wears out and there is no way to replace it.

I will consider buying another one only because there is no product like it on the market (that I know of), but I will make sure and hang on to my receipt, because I will likely need to replace it before the warranty is up.

Summary: A Great Product Long Gone...
Review: I have owned two units in 10 years. Sadly, they have been long discontinued. It is a easy to use, versatile and compact little 900 MHz phone. I went 4 houses down to a neighbors and it was still in good range. Switchable (attached) headset and rotating boom mic to boot.

I have a black model which made it's usage last loads longer b/c of fingerprints, etc. It has been dropped more times than I can recall and has still endored the test of time. The dual batteries are one of the best extra features on it. Back lighting for night time display of caller id and call waiting caller id. Message indicator for in-phone answering service, large keypad even on a small unit. Excellent, just excellent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We have two and love them
Review: I love these phones. I'm trying to buy another one, and ran in to this review. The extra battery is exactly what we need, when one is in the phone, the other is being charged, you can hot swap them when it beeps, and not lose your call. Great phone!

Summary: 20 stars for this phone!
Review: I LOVE this phone! I work on the phone a great deal and have tried them all. This phone outperforms even the $200+ phones I have bought in the past. An extra battery pack comes with the phone, and is kept constantly recharged, so you always have a fresh battery available. The headset is a substantial one, the best I have used yet. Many of the others consist of no more than a piece that slips over your ear, but this is a solid headpiece that is extremely comfortable to wear. The best part of all is that the caller id is built into the wireless phone, so that when you are away from the base you can still see who is calling, even when you are on the phone. I highly recommend this phone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's great while it lasts!
Review: I loved the phone - quality, caller ID, belt clip and the overall preformance of the unit. However I bought my first one and it just went dead after about 6 months, the second unit did the same thing.

If GE could improve on the longevity of the phone it would be a great product.

Let's hope GE does something about all their headsets, which seem to have the same problems.
