 Noisy and Unpredictable February 21, 2008

After just a few days of hearing the constant hum of the Olympia Digital Caller ID, I wanted to rip it out of the wall. Nonetheless, I kept it going for two full months to see if I would get used to it. Nope. Every time I walked into the family room where we had installed it, my attention was drawn to it and the annoying noise it made. Today, I unplugged it at last, and I can't tell you how relieved I am. I only wish I had the courage to toss this device earlier.
The globe looks cool in a Star Wars kind of way, although it's fairly large for placing next to a phone, about 5" in diameter and 5" high. While the numbers are easy enough to read except in the glare of sunlight, the unit did not always register the caller ID numbers. The phone would ring, and I'd look across the room. Nothing. When I went to the phone itself, the number would be displayed on the phone but not on this unit, so the loss of functionality had nothing to do with blocked numbers. Still, it did work on occasion, and for that, I give it two stars. The time and date display is nice if you don't have other clocks in the room.
I don't recommend this product primarily because of the constant -- and I mean, CONSTANT -- noise.
 It vibrates a little and is alittle noisy. December 29, 2007
We turn it off at night because it's a little noisy. It would work better in the family room, kitchen or workplace where there is more background noise. Having it next to your bed at night will take some getting used to. Everything else is great.
 Love it! July 7, 2007

I've had mine for almost 2 years now and love it. I've noticed a few people complaining about an EEPROM ERROR after a lightning storm. i recently experienced that as well. just unplug it and take the batteries out for 10 minutes, plug it back in, put the batteries back in and reset the memory per the manual and all should be fine!
Olympia OL3000 - Cool Caller ID Station! June 20, 2007
I would give it a 5 (I'm a gadget geek) if it weren't for the poor longevity of the item. I have had two of these and would buy another even though the displays give out after six to nine months of continual use. The second one I turned off whenever I wasn't around, but still lost it. VERY COOL item, though!
Works as advertised...but is a bit noisy February 12, 2007
I saw this in a retail store and was intrigued. I needed a way to see who was calling me easily and this little guy seemed to do just that, as well as keep time, etc.
Unfortunately, in the relatively quiet environment of my office, it's noisy - distractingly so. There is a spinning LED that makes a whirring noise that will get on your nerves after ahile if it's anywhere closer than about 7-10 feet from you. Ultimately, I unplugged it and will probably give it to a teenager I know who could care less about the noise.
Bottom line? As long as the noise doesn't bother you, it's a cool little device.
