I just received a flyer (from Mobil) advertsing a phone with features
that I have not seen before.  Besides being a regular answering
machine with speed dialing, it has a voice pattern match dialing - you
speak a name (one of 50 prerecorded) and it then displays the number
on the LCD and dials it.  Other unique features include asking a
caller to key in their phone number and then recording it so either
you can dial it back or it can be used to call your display pager and
display the caller's number.  It also can display the time, date,
phone number and length of call for the last 100 calls.  Too bad it
also doesn't work with caller ID, but it can be yours for only $250!

[There is no manufacturer identified, the text calls the phone
"Voiceprint", the illustration shows the name "Voicephone".]
