Amazon.com Review

The GE 26980ge1 900-MHz cordless BedroomPhone with AM/FM clock radio is perfect for two people who don't necessarily want to wake up at the same time. It has a dual-wake alarm that lets you set two different times and choose either the buzzer or radio. It also includes a cordless phone in a single, neat package.

In our tests, the clock radio was easy to set up. It has digital tuning and can be preset to store six of your favorite stations. A sleep feature lets you set the radio to turn off automatically up to 60 minutes after a preset time, and the "nite light" feature lets you set the alarm or change radio stations in the dark.

The cordless phone also includes an array of useful features. The Flash button opens a new line when you finish a call or if you need to use call waiting. Pressing the mute button on the handset places callers on hold and mutes the line while they're waiting for your return, and there's a page/find function to locate the handset if it's misplaced.

The phone can store 10 telephone numbers up to 16 digits long, making the memory feature perfect for both local and long-distance dialing. All things considered, the BedroomPhone with AM/FM clock radio is a fine, compact solution to your nightstand clutter. --Megan Dugan

Amazon.com Product Description

The GE 900 MHz cordless bedroom phone is ideal for working couples who need two separate alarms or those sound sleepers who just can't hear the first alarm. The phone operates on 900 MHz for clear reception, and it automatically selects from 40 channels. If the battery is low or you have taken the phone out of range, a tone will sound. The phone can be paged for easy location.

It has a built-in clock radio with three programmable station selections and a large display for easy reading. The clock radio includes a snooze button and two wake-up time settings for the alarm.

This unit comes with a one-year warranty.

4 out of 5 stars Good Basic Cordless Phone And Clock Radio.......2007-01-12

If you are looking for something fancy and techy, keep looking. This is a nice basic phone/clock radio that doesn't take up too much space on your night stand, and doesn't look too bad either. I like it. It suits my needs for a bedroom phone just fine.

2 out of 5 stars No Caller ID.......2007-01-09

I was disapointed w/ this purchase. The phone does not have caller ID, which I should have seen from the description. However, when I contacted the seller to return the item, I was told I had to pay shipping, PLUS a restocking fee. I ended up giving it away as a "white elephant" gift.

4 out of 5 stars I've had this phone for years.......2006-12-14

I bought this phone several years ago on clearance from Walmart to replace an alarm clock and a corded phone. I had my doubts, because my first cordless phone was GE, and it was awful. . . but for the price, I figured I'd give it a try.

This unit has worked well for me for nearly 5 years now -- the only complaint I would have about it, and this is minor, is that when I press the button to answer a call, it takes a second to open the line. Not a huge deal, because it's a bedroom phone, and I seldom receive calls when I'm sleeping, anyway.

The setup is not really complicated, it's just that every digital thing is a little different, which makes for a fun morning for daylight savings weekends!

I also love the little built-in nightlight; it doesn't actually shed much light - more a glow - which is ususally just enough to keep me from stepping on the cat if I have to get up during the night.

I'd definitely recommend this.

2 out of 5 stars fair to good while it lasted........2005-09-25

I have had this phone/clock/radio for a few years now and was, at first, happy to have one item replace two on my nightstand. It worked okay at first; though the radio reception wasn't that great, I mainly used it to wake up so that didn't bother me too much. Then the phone became contentious; mostly when calling out, I could hear the person on the other end of the line but they could not hear me. It seems there is not another all-in-one like this so it looks like I will have to buy two items to replace it - when I get around to it.

1 out of 5 stars This phone has got a problem!!.......2004-02-15

I just have to say that exactly the same thing happened to me. After 12 months the phone just stopped working where I could here the person on the other line but they couldn't hear me. Thank goodness Frontgate gave me my money back.

      1 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Hassle.......2004-06-02

      The others who said great for kids where right. This camera sucks. It was cool at first, I was excited about having a webcam/digital camera. Well, the webcam is better than the camera. Though it shows the video way too close up, and there is nothing to mount it to. And the usb link cord is way too short. The digital camera, oh my, that't not good at all. There is no flash, even in light, it's still dark. It takes tiny pictures. After a little while, the only way you can use the camera is to keep it hooked to the computer, which means you can't go far. I thought my batteries were dead, but that wasn't it, it just doesn't work. The webcam still works but it sucks.
      So I don't even recommend spending $20 on it. Save your money and get something better.

      5 out of 5 stars Not recommended for Adults.......2004-03-07

      I bought this for my son last year. Its a great "toy"! The quality of the pictures are not very good. But try telling that
      to a six year old who is in awe looking at the pictures he captured. Its affordable and durable. He once left it in the yard
      and because it rained I was certain It was a goner. Once it dried. It still works! So for that I give it 5 stars!!

      1 out of 5 stars Don't judge by looks.......2003-10-12

      I bought this digital camera for about $$. I was so excited because it was the first webcam I've ever bought and what seemed as a good price. After a while I regretted buying it in the first place because it takes bad quality pictures in both indoors and out. Besides that I've been having many problems with it (when I try taking pictures it wont work).

      1 out of 5 stars Let your Kids play with it.......2003-10-03

      I bought one about a year ago for less than $20.00..
      In low light it is useless...Bright sunlight takes a half way
      good picture.....I laughed when I saw so many on ebay and people
      were bidding more than I paid...I'm only here because I was searching google for how to take a picture with it again so I could let the kids have it......I wish I could rate it a ZERO!

      5 out of 5 stars Rock on!!!.......2003-06-20

      Great outdoor camera, perfect for starting out. My five year old has learned to use it, that is how easy it is!!!

          Within four months of purchase one of the cassette decks stopped working. No matter how much I try to adjust the sound, it is never clear. This was a great disappointment.

          We bought dozens of these for our classroom music staff and many have stopped working in less than three months or were defective right out of the box, so this isn't a fluke. The customer service is awful, both from the seller and from Aiwa. These were a big waste of money and we will never again buy this brand.

          I was pleased with the size of the system, but the speakers could be a little bit better (the sound was slightly tinny). i substituted a better quality pair of aiwa speakers already in my possession, and got better performance. remote control was missing from the box.

                these headphones deliver increadible sound at a professional level for a decent price. The only negative feature is that they are a bit to springy creating long wearing discomfort but still they are amazing

                5 out of 5 stars Still Dreaming for Perfect iPod Headphones.......2006-07-29

                I'm not an audiophile like the other reviewers of these headphones, so I won't dispute their claims or contest their ratings. However, if you are considering the AKG K240M for use with an iPod, dream on. Although I also have the wonderful, lightweight, collapsable Sennheiser PX 100 and am very pleased with their sound with my iPod Video, I had hoped to get even better sound with the AKGs. Unfortunately, even at full volume, the iPod cannot drive these headphones; same result using iTunes. I guess the problem is the 600 Ohm impedance which I did not notice before I purchased them. I probably should have bought the Sennheiser HD-280. If any of you audiophiles can suggest the perfect iPod phones in the $100 range, I'd love to hear from you at phones at kensall dot com. Thanks!

                5 out of 5 stars Quality Audio Reproduction Redefined.......2006-07-20

                I use AKG 240 headphones daily at work for editing digital audio. They are incredible. I don't know what else needs to be said. Previously, my standard for judging headphone quality was the Bose Tri-port or Quiet Comfort headsets. Not any longer.

                On paper, the reproduction range is way beyond the 20 Hz - 20,000 KHz that is considered within the range of normal hearing. Rather than being overkill, I believe this is why these headphones sound so outstanding. With this dynamic range, the headphone reproduces the subtle harmonics that are lost by other headphones.

                These are not noise canceling, so you will need a quieter environment to appreciate the sound. This does not mean you need an isolation booth for maximum enjoyment, but they are a poor choice for wearing on your daily commute. These are working headphones. They are comfortable enough to be worn for hours at a time while editing audio in a studio or office environment. They are also responsive enough you do not need to crank up the volume to hear nice bass or subtle tones. Your coworkers will appreciate the lack of noise bleed from the headphones. With an adapter to a mini-jack, you could even use these at work for non-editing purposes.

                They are fairly priced for the quality they deliver. In fact, I consider them an outstanding value capable of being compared to exotic headphones costing many times more. They even surpass the audio quality of many high-end speaker systems. If the sound you hear is not good, it's in the recording, not the reproduction.

                5 out of 5 stars Dreamy Music Bliss - K240.......2006-04-19

                Clear crisp notes dipped in acoustic perfection. Listening to music on the AKG Acoustics Semi-Open Headphones is like falling in love for the first time. You may start to feel breathless as notes wash across soundscapes unveiled in moments of sheer amazement.

                What beauty these headphones reveal. Every note is placed perfectly in a musical clarity revealing a perfect harmony and depth as sound swells and breaks and takes off in all directions like universes of sound.

                This is not an exaggeration, but rather an admission of fact. Let's just say that if a friend gave you these, you would love them forever.

                If headphones can make you feel weak in the knees...THESE WILL. The AKG headphones are also surprisingly comfortable and lightweight.

                My personal favorite - K240 - Studio quality sound - Advanced Varimotion transducers -superior sound detail and especially high sensitivity

                K271 - Studio quality with ambient noise isolation

                K301 - Powerful bass and specially tuned drivers - circumaural ear cups

                In some sort of dreamy music land from which I don't want to return...

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent natural sound at a very reasonable price.......2006-01-12

                I bought my first K 240 M in early 1986 for my sound studio connected to a music conservatory. These phones impressed all who used them.
                In 2005 I ordered a new pair and was very pleased to find that only the phone plug has been changed. There was no change in sound.

                Obtaining replacement parts has now become difficult. Whats more, this model has been replaced with the 240 S studio monitor. The sound is no longer the same.

                The good news is that although the sound is different, it is clearly better. Bass response is now full down to at least 40 Hz and possibly lower. midrange is slightly boosted, which I got used to quite quickly.

                The bad news is the addition of a connector that is not well designed, as it sticks out away from the phones in such a way that it could be damaged if the phones are dropped. If you handle them gently this should not be a problem.

                Finally, In my opinion, these phones outperform all speaker systems on operatic voices. I never judge any vocal recording,or a singers voice, without using these phones. Although the new model does not sound quite the same, the spacial sense is the same. The ear pads are identical and interchangeble with the 240 M, hence the feel is the same.

                The K 240 DF follows the criteria specified by the Institute of Radio Technology (IRT) in Munich for a "diffuse field" equalization curve that provides headphone listeners with the sound pattern, characteristic of a room with reflective, non-anechoic surfaces. Each K 240 DF is rigorously tested to assure strict adherence to the IRT standards for frequency response, channel separation and sensitivity.

                5 out of 5 stars Great cans!!!.......2006-05-04

                These are NOT for your average music lover or mp3 fanatic. Requiring a decent headphone amp, these things are targetted more for music CREATORS. DJs, pro & home studio people, musicians..etc.

                These are one of the few "flat" cans you can get. So these are great for "portable studios" or field work.

                Just a recommendation... for laptop users... the Turtle Beach Advantage Micro is decent enough to drive these cans. :)
