It has almost everything you could want in a good phone. It has an answering machine (even with pre-made texts in several languages!), A number memory, very im portant also a backlight, as well as a hands-free system with excessive micro quality. But the latter is still ok. The biggest and most annoying flaw is the big red lamp. These flashes unfortunately only when someone calls. Logically it would have been if she would blink to indicate that someone is calling in or that someone has left a message on the AB. But nothing there, it only flashes when the phone rings :(. Did someone leave a message, a red light flashes keinere and someone has let it ring only, the incredibly small lettering "New" flashes on the display, which is so incredibly small, that you need a magnifying glass to see that someone is calling. Real shame.
