BT's phones are made by lots of different manufacturers, so don't assume that if you've had a bad one before, you'll get another bad one - or that good experience in the past will necessarily be repeated. Ultimately this is a pretty cheap phone, and it does show in a few places, but it does work, it's physically well made, the ringtones are actually OK (well one or two of them) and the phone-book isn't entirely insane.
Good points:
  • Has something approximating to a "ring ring" tone (unlike most competitors)
  • Nice blue backlit display
  • Big chunky (though not illuminated) buttons
  • Phone book is alphabetic and has a SIM-card import function
Bad points:
  • Caller-display a little temperamental (though better if "first ring" option enabled)
  • Not the best phone out there for background noise
  • Text on display could be a little bigger
  • Arbitrary restrictions on characters available to enter in phone-book
