Pros: Looks, ergonomics, features

Pros: Clear sound, easy and intuitive operation. Call logs and multiple number redial a plus.
Cons: Directory features need upgrading.

Pros: address book, some customized features
Cons: old design (over 5 years!), sound artifacts, no longer usable!
Summary: This is a worthless phone. I bought it for about 60 bucks (after waiting for the mail in rebate) from Best Buy, but it must have been refurbished or just old inventory. The reason I say this is because the exact phone design/color has been in use since ... read more

Pros: Looks nice, works OK when it works.

Non-intuitive setup. Poor customer service
