My only concern now is can they make the handset work like a phone so I dont have to return three of them to best buy? So far two attempts to correct the phone's software failed. Poor battery life and range issues maybe tied to the choices they made when manufacturing the product. I am not an engineer so I cant say. The screen is disappointing and doesn't reflect the same screen marketed on the packaging and website. ...
One doesn't have to be an expert to tell that the handset was a cheap manufactured product:
Type of battery used is the oldest technology of 15-20 years ago ... though still used by the "value" cordless phones of ATT, GE etc...- doesn't hold the charge more than a few hours at the most as well as a very short range,- today the better manufacturers/producers use rechargeable AA/AAA batteries and the latest technology...
The same goes for the LCD screen...
Probably they tried to cut corners to lower production cost!
