It worked for about 20 minutes, then the screen contrast started jumping around and then the whole phone died. For the 20 minutes that I had with the phone, it seemed like a respectable unit.
The Caller ID display shows 1 and area code and then 7 digits, like 1313 2223333. This is much improved over an AT&T CL2909 that I tried that displayed like 131 322 23333 which makes familiar phone numbers fairly unrecognizable.
The sound seems pretty decent, the buttons like Speaker and Mute are very well placed, and the sound boost could be pretty useful for the hearing challenged.
