Best Designed Scanner-Questionable Software though.......2007-06-12

I've had mine since 2004 and haven't had any problem except trying to remove that Scan-to-the-Web icon from my desktop. I'm currently using it from both my XP laptop and new Vista laptop and no problems. The Vista driver is a basic, just make it work driver though and that's all I require. In all fairness to the many terrible reviews here, I've only used it as an ordinary scanner to make copies of things to print or save to a file, etc. No photo tricks or anything like that so perhaps I'm avoiding what others have complained about. It has worked well 100% of the time and my personal feeling is that, bad software or not, its the best designed scanner I've ever seen. The storage possibilities are excellent...on the desk, on a shelf...small footprint and so much more attractive than those flatbed tanks. Mine is stored on a shelf above my desk and I just either scan from the shelf or take off the front and scan on my desk...how more convenient can you get than that. I'm the exception here but I've never had a single problem with this scanner since 2004. I truly dread the day when I'll have to replace this vertical scanner with a huge, ugly flatbed monster one day.

HP Trashware.......2007-05-28

I bought the HP ScanJet 4600 because I need to scan material from books. The see-through concept is perfect for teachers like me. However, the scanner warms up very slowly. The HP software is astonishingly bad. (Only install the basic driver. Skip Readiris.) The scanner only does simple black and white text scans reliably. After about a year, the hardware stopped working. (More toxic waste for the landfill.) Thank you Carly Fiorina, HP chairman, (given a going away present $21 million when canned in 2005.) I really like spending my meager salary on trashware.

Very poor software.......2006-11-23

I know a bit about scanners, I've used two of these HP see-throughs for thousands of scans, and I don't expect the software that comes with peripherals to be five-star stuff. But the software with these HP scanners is just astonishingly bad. And I don't mean the extra photo-editing software, but the basic driver stuff that you can't easily avoid. I wrestle and wrestle to get a kinda-works solution. It takes an amazing amount of fussing around, and then it doesn't do what you just told it to do. The hardware is fine, but the software is just unbelievably incompetent. A very shoddy, bait-and-switch, rip-off kind of product. Its designers should be replaced with professionals.

ZERO STARS - WORST SCANNER EVER.......2006-07-24

1. It's not compatible with HP Pavilion computers, even after all their "technical support" and downloading upgrades and patches, it simply can't communicate with HP's own computer. (It works on my old Gateway computer, though poorly).
2. The scan quality is a mess, with light & dark bands across the scanned image.
3. It's especially no good for small 3d objects, which are almost entirely out of focus. This is not the case with my old scanner, also and HP, scanjet Pro, which is better in every way.

It's not just a hardware problem, as it at least scans on my old computer. But it insalled different scanning software on the new computer - from the same CD! And both computers have Windows XP. Their software engineers are simply ignorant of how to make one piece of hardware communicate with another.

HP really screwed up on this one and so far they've done nothing about it. Someone should get the axe there.

Very good deal for the price.......2006-05-31

This $30 refurbished HP ScanJet 4600 has performed very well for over a year. No hardware or software problems scanning or printing. I have scanned and enlarged postage stamps with excellent results on monitor and when printed. Not perfect color matching of course, but very good for the price and my needs.

Product Description

With today's variety of communications options, sometimes a single line just isn't enough. For these times, a GE multi-line telephone makes the ideal switch hitter. This model includes a distinctive ring for each line, indicators to show which line is in use, electronic hold, and the complete list of standard GE phone features: multi-number memory, one-touch redial, ringer volume control and more.

Amazon.com Product Description

GE's 29460 supports two-line operation and has a data port for fax, modem, or external answering device. Dual ringers indicate the line on which a call is coming, and conferencing capabilities let you talk to two parties at the same time. The phone stores up to 50 speed-dial numbers that you can quickly access with a shuttle dial. The 99-name-and-number caller ID tracks your missed calls, displayed on the backlit four-line LCD for easy reading and quick callback.

The speakerphone frees your hands for more important tasks, and the one-touch redial button is convenient when you've just remembered something important to tell a friend after hanging up. Separate volume controls for the handset, speakerphone, and ringer let you customize the proper audio levels, and the phone is wall mountable to help save desk space. GE offers a one-year limited warranty.

GE 2 line phone.......2007-10-29

The phone is a piece of junk.
This company shipped me 2 phones and both were defective and it was not even the same problem. Each phone had a different problem.

Company gave me a FULL Refund for the phone and the shipping, so I am happy with the service, but I would NEVER buy a GE Phone.

Okay phone but features wanting.......2007-07-12

I found the same issue as Brian, with the unrelenting blinking of the voicemail and line buttons, only mine is on line 2 (Brian, what is "power cycling?". I found the same issues as another reviewer with the other callers on a 3-way conference call not being able to hear each other. The manual is completely insufficient, as is any other help available. There is no on-line help available, and the 1-800 number gives only a very limited number of pre-recorded answers. Over all, because of the lack of information about how to use the phone's feature, I find my experience with this phone more frustrating than satisfying.

Never quite worked right........2007-06-13

- Callers frequently complained that I was inaudible due to low volume when using the handset.

- The speakerphone-mode microphone stopped working the second week I had this phone.

- Caller ID functions were not reliable (only displaying the information 1/3 calls)

I telecommute, so a good telephone is a must! I do not recommend this phone because of the audio problems.

cool phone for the $$$.......2006-08-15

I just bought one of these at a thrift shop for $6 and this is the coolest phone I have owned. It even interfaces with VONAGE voice mail. At $50 bucks this would be a good deal.

Voice Mail Light Flashes Forever.......2005-08-12

I have two lines on this phone. Line 2 voice mail light works properly. Line 1 voice mail light flashes forever, and I have to power cycle the phone several times per day to clear the flashing voice mail light on Line 1. I do not recommend this phone.
