Underwhelming Display for Office Phone

Pros
  • Size is adequate for phone.
Cons
  • Display quality is subpar, backlight doesn't help.

Pros
  • Fair price

Overall it's good - just two minor annoyances

Bought an AT&T phone with answering machine over a year ago. In general, the autoresponder works well, but it has two annoying features. We have more than one phone in our house.

Pros
  • I like everything so far
Cons
  • Slows down infinitely
