For all the questions about the use of this thing with and without a PC: here's a review at hello direct.

BTW I saw a few CyberGenie headsets at officedepot that were marked $14.88. They were rebadged plantronics M170's. Since the cybergenies were marked $99.99 and rang up at $29.22 I wonder what the headsets would ring up at?

handset rang up as $19.22

I just got last 1 base and 1 handset($19.22) that was left from VA Beach store(Luskin Rd). I had to drive 45 min to get there. let's see if drive was worth this phone. =)

Newport News = None
Hampton = None

handset sku# 328-381

I cleaned out the Baltimore area of the last two in the week before Christmas. They're really fun for a geek like me! Of course my wife thinks they're cool too. You just tell it who you would like to call!

None in Long Beach, CA. The clerk I spoke to said they sold out of them back in October. He also mentioned a high return rate for problems with the Auto-Attendant misdirecting callers. I guess if you don't use the phone for it's fancy v/m features you're ok.

Hmm...

I just don't see how the call routing and voicemail will work, unless you run only the handsets in your home. Or at the very least, the phone line from the street has to pass through this system.

I mean, how can it prevent all the other phones from ringing in your house? route calls?

Cool deal. I just scored the last one in Morgantown WV. It will be interesting to see how well this thing works. I wonder if anyone is selling them on any online auctions yet yet?

Just snagged the last one in Chattanooga. 10.00 off at the register for signing up for free 30 days of AOL (which I've already cancelled) Total = 19.22

This phone will read your email to you when you call in to check messages. Awesome!

Thank you!

Discountinued, so they're ALL out in my area. I think we're a bit too late and whoever found some near by was just lucky.

FrankRizzo: Those headsets marked at $14.88 actually ring up as $14.88...no further discount on those!

Thanks a ton! Got one here in Buffalo. It was still marked at $199.99, but rang up as $29.22. Got the last one at the Sheridan/Eggert store. If there is anybody else in Buffalo, there might be a few more at the other 3 stores. Didn't really check at any others. Good luck!

IT PAYS TO ASK! Because Wangel said there were no more in Missouri or Illinois, I just blew it off.
But then later I had to go to OD anyway, and asked. They showed 1 display in stock, but it wasn't on display, and she said she'd look in lockup. Well I fugured that IF they found it, it would be scattered and pieces missing from being a display.
*It was a brand new unopened box*.

"Great price" she said with a big smile.

Thanks, Rizzo--you da man!

My CSR said that Cyber Genie's products have been recalled and no one should be selling them anymore
