Summary: worked for 6 weeks
Comment: Phone works just fine. The screen, however, stopped working and just stays bright white. I liked it when it worked. It cost too much to break this soon. I have emailed GE's tech support but not heard back.

Summary: No speakerphone & LOTS of display errors
Comment: I was so wowed by the look I picked it up off the shelf and bought it. My first disappointment was discovering it had no speakerphone. My biggest disappointment is the photo errors mentioned in other reviews. I'm a well-experienced computer builder/trainer and even with my background there is no discernible pattern to why some pictures work fine and others don't -- even within the same batch. The PhotoFrame sits on a shelf in the living room and at night, watching TV, the error message sporadically flashes with an all-white background. Very very disappointing. If I hadn't tossed the box I'd return it.

Summary: Photo Feature Doesn't Work
Comment: In theory, this is a great product. However, after several tech support calls and an email, I will be returning this phone for replacement. On both occasions, talking with Tech Support was PAINFUL. Their support is outsourced and both techs kept offering canned responses. I honestly don't think either one of them had a clue about what I was talking about. On my 2nd call, after telling the tech TEN TIMES that the problem was not my memory card (tried using multiple cards) or the photo (all photos on card were jpg), she finally said yes ma'am, I can see the problem is the phone and not your memory card and we can replace that. Here's what happens: The phone displays one of my pictures, then I get an error message stating the format (.jpg) is unsupported. I also can't get any photos to fill the screen. These are all high res jpgs taken from my canon digital camera.

Summary: Great Concept - Bad Design
Comment: Just not a lot of good things to say about this phone. The phone looks great but when it comes down to funcationality, it leaves a lot to be desired. Lot of random static, buttons are hard to work (too recessed) and the phone lcd interface is poorly designed.

Summary: GE Photophone--Great Idea!!!
Comment: This phone includes a very easy to program digital frame. It allows you to play from your camera media card (mine is SD) or download selected photos into it's 2 GB hard drive. The process is very simple! The other feature allows you to program your frame to display caller ID photos, I haven't set this up yet-but if it's as easy as downloading my slideshow-it should be a piece of cake.
It is a great addition to my kitchen wall. It hangs very securely and can also be used on the desktop with an included stand. It has a stainless frame that is easily changed out to an included glossy black frame. It's very sleek and high-tech looking.
I think that this would be a very thoughtful and appreciated gift for your loved ones. I'm going to get one for my elderly parents and download family photos for them. The handset is cordless and the system can accomodate up to 4 handsets.
If you want to see this combo in person, Target offers it for sale (of course Amazon tends to have the best price). I highly recommend this product.
