I've had quite a few Motorolas and some Nokias. I really like this one compared to the rest. One problem I've had with the Motorolas is that the volume was not loud enough in noisy situations (I'm an old dude). This phone has plenty of volume. I like the style of the phone and it seems to be better than average on signal reception. The extra features are nice but I just like a phone that works well and this one does.
