At the end of the day if they work, then what is the problem?
I do not see the sense in getting new mobhiles every other month, if
they do what they should do, make and recieve calls.

I had a nice little Sendo flip phone, it worked well, but I pulled it
out of my pocket and it kind of went on the floor, since then it had
problems. So I got myself a Motorola V547 and do be honest I hate the
thing. It is bulky, quiet, the batteries last about two days in standby
which is a disgrace. I can not see the screen in the sunlight. the Sendo
wasnot great, but at least I could just about see the screen in bright
sunlight.

This Motorola got a camera, well they call it a camera, I am not sure,
because the quality is crap. I still carry my HP camera around with me.

My Sendo which cost me £50 2 years ago is far better than this £100 lump
from Motorola.

Nope, you can't, unless you got cable.
anyway, VOIP is still too new to be reliable.
