Query: Not your ideal phone

I purchased this same model (purple colour) a few months ago at a KMart store. The flashy colours attracted me, I suppose. In the beginning it was an okay phone. I had replaced a very cheap and old cordless phone, and the sound was much better. My only problem was I had to adjust to the lack of echo. :) The Antenna on the base of this phone is Horrible! My kids pulled it out and broke the plastic the first day I got it. Then, the phone rapidly began to have problems. The battery had a very short life. Instead of just beeping when the battery was low, I would get a very loud interference type noise, and the phone would disconnect me. The ringer no longer works 100% of the time, and that brings me here to Amazon in search for a better phone! I would not recommend this phone, unless you are just in it for the "nifty colours."
