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
