Query: Didn't last like it should have

We had this phone for a year and used it a LOT. At first it had great distance and clarity, but it soon got worse and worse and the battery life got shorter and shorter. We both work from home and need a clear line, so had to buy a different phone to keep working. For what we paid for this phone, we expected a lot better durability. Also, I agree with the other reviews that complain about the number of "keystrokes" you have to go through to redial or dial a number in memory. Very cumbersome. I believe there are much better models out there for less money.
