My generic 6233 has been fine over 17 months, it's probably the best
non qwerty keyboard texting handset I've ever used.

That said it does have some problems that are disguised as heath and
safety issues that I can't stand like the quiet and ascending ring and
SMS tones when set at maximum and lack of backlight when used in a
wired carkit.
