This is the third Audiovox phone i have purchased. It is very easy to upgrade your phone for a reasonable price. I had my last Audiovox for three years before it went to phone heaven. I simply took it to the cellular dealer and traded it in for the newer model. Keep in mind this is not a free trade and you do not get any money for your old phone but you do get a reasonable price for the new one. It was about fifty dollars plus your calling plan which was also very reasonable. This phone has many features, almost too many to use. The main aspects being caller-id, voice activated calling, web access, 15 different rings, vibrating ringer, etc. The newer version has the new features of web access, more rings, and voice attivation. The new phone has considerably less static in calls also. I have used many other other phones that my friends and family have and by far this is a better value. The Startrack may have less static than this phone but it also costs much more or you can pay a $100 more for a phone with the same features as this Audiovox 9000 phone and only get the luxury of playing some old school boring games. This phone has everything you need and more. The battery is also excellent. It will last easily 2 days with average talk time with out recharging. It is an average sized phone and is not very heavy. It slips into any pocket and is not noticed. I often have to check to see if it is still there. It is by far worth the money.
