Very detailed video on Russian phones with built-in CallerID systems, which usually had features far beyond number identification (metronome, guitar tuner, alarm clock, music composer, voice changing).
The video is interesting not only from the historical, but also from technological and programming point of view.

As one of the comments says, "Once upon a time, the Rus'-based CallerID phone was the only form of entertainment at home..."
