With the ubiquity of answering machines and voicemail systems, it's amazing to discover a device that seems to have been designed in a vacuum.It's chock-full of one poor design choice after another.Where to begin...1. During playback, the message number, day and time are announced first, and veeerrrryyyy slowly.If you have several new messages, or you're listening to old messages, pull up a chair.(AT&T: put envelope info at the end--I'll listen if I want--or better yet, make it optional).
2. It's very easy to delete the wrong message.If you press delete after a message is complete (as soon as the person hangs up), you'll inadvertently delete the NEXT message (I did that alot).
3. If you have 18 saved messages, there's no way to listen to message 18 without scrolling through the first 17 messages.Not a big deal?Say you have 18 saved messages and just got three more, and want to replay the third new message again.Get ready to press the SKIP button 21 times.Is this digital or cassette tape?(I know the answer).
4. Why can't the caller ID info stay on the handset displays after the answering machine picks up?(I know all manufacturers seem to do this, but why?)
These may all seems like minor annoyances, but if you rely on your answering machine and need a certain level of sophistication (or at least the same capability as the cheapest cell phone plan), skip this one.
