I have had an absolutely impossible time trying to find a speakerphone that meets my needs. I only need a one-line phone, but I'm happy to buy a multi-line phone and ignore the extra lines. I've scaled back the requirements a bit and still can't find anything. Can anyone help? I need: - - Built-in headset jack. - - Caller ID with THREE line (name, number, date/time) display (rules out the Polycom SoundPoint Pro and the Brother Quattro). - - Mute button (rules out Panasonic KX-TMC98-B). - - Buttons that don't drop keypresses when I dial fast (rules out the Sony IT-M804, Casio PhoneMate SI-460). Bonuses (I'm almost afraid to ask): - - Message Waiting Indicator - - Call timer Can anyone help? Or does anyone know someplace in Northern VA/Washington where you can actually TRY a phone before buying? - -- Jay Levitt | This is not the start of World War III Fairfax, VA | No political ploys jay@jay.fm | I think both your constitutions are http://jay.fm | terrific, so now you know - be good boys. - -- The Telecom Digest is currently robomoderated.

We're not all from the US. Politicians lie, or at best distort the truth. No surprise there. Also I'm reading via WAP at the mo' and connect time is expensive so please please quote carefully and use the f*****g delete key!
