I hate to prolong the argument, but I respectfully disagree.

I've over a dozen of them in the field, most of which are in 
light/medium use on a daily basis.  Generally the only reboots they 
undergo is when our notoriously flaky rural electric power fails.

I have a business partner who has even more of them than I do, and he is 
equally satisfied with their performance in his industrial shop type 
application.

The "talking CallerID" function is a majorly good feature, and I keep 
one of them in my office just so I'll know who's calling without having 
to go look at the phone.

I wish you bashers would lighten up a little bit, and not treat those of 
us who are satisfied with phones as if we were too stupid to know what 
we can live with.
