Happy Happy Joy Joy
I am finally retiring - no, firing - my crappy old Kyocera KE414 cell phone today. It arrived unsolicited as part of a scheduled upgrade a couple of years ago and was a clear downgrade from my first Kyocera phone.
Here is the office, I now get two bars instead of one, four if I raise the antenna. (There is no extendable antenna on the KE414.) My wife noticed the improved voice quality immediately when I called her on my new Sanyo 4930.
This phone isn't for everybody. There's no hinged cover, it has no camera which I didn't want anyway, and it's not exactly "razor" thin. No, this has a big battery instead, supposedly good for over 5 hours talking or up to 7 days not. I'll see.
Another interesting feature is a quick to use voice recorder. I can use this to record what I eat or exert for later transcription into the Weight Watchers website.
I could wish for bigger buttons I suppose, but even they seem slightly better positioned. I'm just glad someone is resisting the trend of making everything ever smaller.
