Summary: Terribly designed; not up to AT&T standards
Review: This product obviously never saw an AT&T test lab.The features to set the alarm (both to set the time and turn it on and off) is completely obscure. Why is "radio" labelled A and "buzzer" B? There's enough room for the names. Why do you have to press one button then change the time then press another? Why does it flash the time for a while then stop?

More aggravating points: a very bright red light stays lit until you go through and view EVERY new call in the caller ID interface. You cannot turn it off; pressing the Caller ID button brings up another interface. There is no radio on/off, but a "radio" button that serves that function in an obscure manner.

Yes, it takes a 9-volt battery for backup, but in a power outage last night - this was the last straw - the clock pooped out after a few hours with a fresh, tested battery. Why? Because it had to devote so much energy to keeping the caller ID red light lit up.

Ay, caramba.

I'm returning this. It has good electronics, but awful design. This product reminds me of the Nutr-I-Matic from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: you're so overcome with joy at defeating its minor design flaws that you overlook that it has major design flaws rendering it less than useful. (Or, to put it another: it's almost, but not entirely, exactly unlike a clock radio or a phone.)

Summary: No wonder AT&T is number one.
Review: This telephone is miles ahead of the competition. Smart design, easy to use and most of all excellent quality. I've owned other brands, but I will NEVER buy anything but AT&T (Lucent) products.
