Caller ID boxes are great (as long as the caller doesn't have their ID blocked). The only problem is that there are only so many usable functions surrounding caller ID, so most manufacturers seem to think that they must pack everything concievable into these boxes. Being able to review the last 99 incoming calls loses its appeal after the first scan through. Since we don't receive many obscene calls, knowing when each call comes in is of only mild interest. And with only so much space on the top of this box there can ony be so many buttons. So, keeping the instruction booklet next to the box is necessary especially if you only casually use the thing.
Don't get me wrong, this is a nice device and is fairly attractive. And I'm not the sort who has a VCR flashing 12:00. But someone should make a basic $10 box that brings up the ID info when the call comes in and then has a FWD and REV rocker button to scan through the last... oh... 20 calls or so. Period.
Overall a good box at a good price if you don't already have phones with caller ID build into them.
