I've used a lot of cell phones, and I was never really amazed by a cell phone. All I ever wanted a phone to do was work. After owning a motorolla that was broken more than it is was working, I really needed a phone that just worked. This phone works flawlessly. I never lose the signal, even inside. The speaker is clear, and I can allways hear the other person. Not only does this phone do everything basic, but it has more features than I could have ever imagined. Just to name a few: vga camera, CAMCORDER, speakerphone, voice dial, wireless internet, calander and to-do list. There isn't a better phone out there.
