Still works fine.:

- It more or less works like it's supposed to.
- I like the sturdy build quality...doesn't have that cheap plastic-y feel
- I find that I need to recharge every 48 hrs regardless of how long a talk (which isn't much).

Poor Quality:

The back of unit has cheap clips. One of the clips broke after changing the 'new' battery twice that wouldn't charge. Another junk product from Motorola.
