The Bottom Line: Better than other cell phones I've owned, although it too has drawbacks. Is there a better cell phone available at an affordable price?

| CHannagan's Full Review: Kyocera QCP 2035a Cell Phone |
I've had an opportunity to use this phone in a number of locations and I've almost always gotten a clear signal. In the past, I've owned Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson cell phones. I'd estimate that 50-75% of the time I could get a clear signal with Ericsson being by far the worst.
This is the first cell phone that works in my house which is a big plus. Not one of my previous cell phones worked adequately within my home. Well, the Nokia worked sorta, if I leaned out the front door.
There are some minor negatives. The menu functions are confusing which makes reading the directions necessary. The antenna is so flimsy you'd think it's attached to a toy. The battery life is average at best so I recommend purchasing the adaptor for $25. Recently, I've gotten an echo on a number of occasions. When I talk hear my voice about a half second later. There's no problem listening and the "callee" is unaware of the problem. However, it's very confusing hearing myself as I talk. For that reason I've downgraded my rating.
