Mine also came with a deal from the local provider.  But had me call
the order-desk at the manufacturer to arrange shipping myself:

        Collonial Data Technology   800-622-5543
 
The model they sent me is the CDT2000.  Its black name/number unit
with 85 memory locations (or 93 depending upon which figure in the
literature you believe). It's a bit wide (about 8 inches), with the
usual review up/down, delete, contrast.  The call-wait ID seems to
work fine.  In fact, for some reason, cellular calls never issued
caller ID (and still don't), but now I get the ID info ONLY IF THE
CALL ARRIVES DURING CALL WAIT.  A quick DVM test during on-hook
proved that the info is only sent during call-wait rings (odd?!?)

Supposedly this unit sells for $80, but was reduced to $36 with the
NYNEX call feature packagae (which can be cancelled after one month).
There is probably some truth to that, because the same offer allows
you to choose a 128# memory NON-Call wait ID for free, istead of the
call-wait model. That NON-ID model is a top of the line $49 variety.
