DB OR NOT DB

Advantages: comfortable phone, easy to use
Disadvantages: lackluster phone, bland

The NEC DB (Dual Band) 4000 is one of a series of phones made by NEC. Its small light and easy to use looks nice and feels nice in the hand. The phone features a vibrating ringer, 14 ring tones, you can assign ring tones to 20 different people in your phone book and also features an answer/disconnect flip pad and flip pad auto keylock. Aesthetics: The flip is sturdy and not clumsy at all and the buttons are easy to use to navigate the menu system ...
...about the forth phone that NEC have come up with in the series.... Problems: For a start the battery life is shorter than the DB2000 so this is a downgrade instead of an upgrade.

NEC DB4000

Advantages: light, big screen
Disadvantages: size, aerial sticks out

this NEC phone is great for a 2nd phone. Its light, has a bigger screen than other phones and has a flip-front which looks classy.

All in all, a cheap phone with decent service and features. The flip-out looks classy and the green backlight makes it easier to read at ...

NEC ISNT THAT A BUILDING

Advantages: very light
Disadvantages: none come to mind

This phone i would say for the price is the best buy currently on the market. I brought the phone on pay as you go package from BT cellenet and have never looked back, it costed £70. It has many features such as a dictonairy which will check text messages. All features are easy to get to through the use of the central menu buttons. It has an onboard alarm plus clock, which works very well. The ring tones range from Bach to little jingles, there are ...
...tones on different people so you know who's ringing you. This comes in very handy for people such as your boss who sometimes you might not want to answer! You can also have different people on hold at the same time, plus the use of a function called the scratchpad where you can input a number into the phone while talking on it. The flip down panel protects the main buttons so accidental calling can be avoided. The only buttons on the outside are ...
