Caller ID logger   
I want a Caller ID device which remembers at least 100 calls and 
displays the full information.  

Looking around, I think there are fewer standalone CLID display 
units than there used to be.

On the other hand the CLID function build into many phones seems 
basic. For example some won't distinguish between "Number Not 
Available" and "Number Withheld".

Do you know any CLID displays/phones I might consider?  

This is for home use so I don't want to spend a fortune.

Sorry this is a bit vague....

I think your PC could do that - I remember there being some software 
which would log the CLID's etc., but I think its function depended on 
the modem chipset.

Supervoice used to do that with my old US Robotics External modem, but 
I've not used it for years.

I use a BT 'email w/o a PC' thing called an Easicom 300 which I got 
cheap (£15) from an O2 shop when they were dumping them.

Link of the original US Mailstation which is the same.
http://the-gadgeteer.com/1999/11/22/mailstation_review/

When the phone rings, I can tell whether it's a Pay Phone, 
International, Withheld or someone whose details I've entered in the 
unit's phone book. The flash memory only stores 50 calls though which 
is, well not 100 :-(

There are not any left on eBay now, so a car boot sale or random shop on 
the 'net might be your only hope if interested. There is also the 
Amstrad emailer thing, I believe that has caller ID.

Time waits for no man...
http://www.supervoice.com/asp/default.asp

XP/VISTA/WIN 7 etc - but I'm not sure it's the most graceful solution.

That said, this search threw up some possibles:
