"I beg to differ! Great reception!"
Pros: Excellent reception. Fabulous battery life. Simple to use. Speakerphone works. Alarm works well. Small and lightweight. Inexpensive.
Cons: Screen is not as bright as it could be so isn't easy to read in direct sunlight.
Summary: This is a nearly perfect phone for folks who want to get the best reception possible, have good battery life, and pretty much just want to make calls.
Sure it's all plastic but I think it's good looking (in a subdued slightly retro way) and it's small and fits in a pocket well and feels good (is ergonomic) in the hand. Also the speaker phone works well as does the alarm. Highly functional. I don't need/want features like a bad camera or bluethooth or other functions that simply drain the battery and take away from the phone functionality. I also needed a phone with good reception because I work in a basement and this phone gets WAY better reception than the "fancy" Samsung phone I had for a month and had to replace with this because I couldn't get a signal in the basement with the Samsung. I happen to love the Nokia 2610. It's meets my needs fabulously.

At this point I am envying Maxwell Smart. Just give me a shoe with a rotary dial it's probably more efficient and easier to navigate in comparison to this phone. The only volume choice is the loudspeaker option...Hello? The backlight goes off too soon. I can't read the face unless I'm in the dark...so now I make all phone calls in the movie theater. UGH!!!
