RCA Corded Retro Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This compact, retro little corded desk phone is replacing a separate caller-id, call-waiting unit and larger retro-styled phone for my home office. It is quite small, freeing up valuable inches of desk real estate, and has a very clean design.
Push-buttons in a dial-like layout are fairly small (easy for my fingers, but perhaps a problem for larger hands) and the arc of feature buttons under the "dial" (flash, menu, delete, etc.) are even smaller. Again, once you get used to where they are, it was no trouble for me.
When a call comes in, the liquid crystal display in the center of the dial lights up in green (unit requires 3 AA batteries) so you can read the incoming call information. After about 5 seconds, the light in the display goes off, but a small red light above that panel continues to flash intermittently, to let you know you've missed a call. When you go to review your call history, the green light comes back on, to help you read the display.
The unit has the ability to automatically dial the missed call, plus the standard buttons to review and delete the phone numbers. You can also store memory numbers to any of your phone's number buttons, like any modern phone. There is a redial button, as well.
Pros:
Very small, corded, integrated unit has the keypad on the base, which I find more useful when working, than having to punch all the numbers into the handset (a la cordless models)
Inexpensive
Cons:
Rather a strange, high-pitched ringtone
Handset is very small, but still quite heavy
