Decent August 15, 2008
To start out with, this phone seems to have good mechanical design. It feels sturdy, and doesn't squeek, or make creeking noises while in use like a lot of my other phones have. The firmware is decent, and the interface is relatively easy to use. There is no way to set the phone to vibrate, and ring at the same time (a little annoying, in my opinion).
It has an external LCD so that you can see the time, signal strength, mode settings, and caller name (if it's in your contact list) without having to open the phone. Both LCD's seems to be high quality, and are easy to see/read.
Operationally, the phone it's not bad.
Now for the kiss of death. This phone has poor reception. It often does not have any service at my home, where my cheap Motorola phone works just fine. Since my main reason for owning a phone is to be able to make/take phone calls, the poor receiver performance is a major problem! For this reason, I wouldn't buy another one. Maybe mine is just a lemon, maybe not. But be warned, you may be frustrated by frequent dropped calls, and poor service.
If you live near an AT&T cell tower, maybe this phone is OK.
