Consumer Reviews

Most consumers say, “Why bother with the keypad?” in the belief that the LCD display should have been enlarged. This is not really a complaint about the unit itself, but an expression of preference of interface. Besides, doing so would significantly increase the price of the unit (Selling at a little less than $120, it’s quite a steal!). Also, consumers believe a Bluetooth headset should have been included in place of a conventional headset as it is a bit awkward to have a wire connecting your wrist to your head.

In Closing

This unit gets a score of 7.5 out of 10. Plus points were given for the sheer number of functionalities. Points were deducted for the less than fine craftsmanship, the too chunky overall size, and the redundancy of the keypad.
