Customer Review: Junk!
I bought this base for my parents and one for my house and neither one of them hold a charge. They’re awful!
Customer Review: its okay
The phone is okay. When i got it there were already missing pixils in the screen (bought it brand new) The battery life is very very small. It does have several ringtones which is nice. But is not very loud in my opinion. When the battery is low it begins to malfunction. I dont reconmend it to someone who needs the battery to last.

Customer Review: Bad apple?
This battery lasted less than a year in our phone. We gave it normal use, that is we do not leave if off the charger for long periods of time. One to two hours at most.
We bought other batteries of this type and they lasted quite long and performed well. Perhaps we got a “bad apple.”
We bought a replacement from Radio Shack. So far so good. One caveat, it cost a lot more than the on line pruchase. We’ll see how long the “Shack” one lasts and if it warrents the extra money.
