I wanted just a plain phone--no camera, no other bells and whistles--and this one is over 2 years old and going strong! Only drawback is that the volume setting on the ringer is easily changed (usually to mute when I need to hear it). Good sound quality.

i have had this phone for a while and i'm surprised at how durable it is. i drop it, step on it, sit on it, throw it... the list goes on and on, and this phone just keeps on truckin!

I'll be the first to admit that the phone came "free" with my cell phone plan. However, I don't consider it an excuse for a shoddy product. The sound quality is horrible...talk about "Can you hear me now?" And no, it's not the service. Other family...
