1 Durable but...
I bought my phone in February 2003, so it is about a year and a half old.
Pros:
Very small phone that fits in pockets.

Cons:
The earpiece is too small and doesn't have a good volume.
The antennae broke off after a couple of months.
No external call id.

I wouldn't buy the phone again. I prefer Samsung.

2 good little phone!
Got this phone with the T Mobile prepaid plan. I got mine at Target for $119. Be sure to check T Mobile's website for any rebates they may be offering. It's a fine little phone--it's so small! It fits in my jeans pocket. I can't download any ringtones; because I'm a prepaid customer, which is kind of disappointing. I couldn't get a signal in Longbeach, WA, but my husband's Verizon phone got a signal. Probably a T Mobile issue. But I'm hardly ever in Longbeach; usually, I have as many or more bars on my signal finder as my husband has on his Verizon phone. It's easy to use and easy to check my minutes balance. The only thing is, I can't figure out how to make it ring more than four times before going to voicemail--it takes me a long time to get the phone out of my pocket and then answer it; and just as I say hello, it has gone to voicemail. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the T Mobile prepaid plan and the V66 phone.
