NEC DB-500 : This is a good second phone or a phone for new users who want a basic phone

The phone itself is quite light weight and pretty slim for a cheap phone, but the phone does live up to what it is made for, and that is making and recieving calls and sending text messages.The menu is not exciting either, but is near enough the same as another phone by a different company. Scrolling through the menu to change things is easy enough to understand, but can be confusing at times.The leather case is like all others, clear to see the screen, using the key pads, and reading the screen. Making a conversation through the phone as well is also pretty clear.This is a good second phone or a phone for new users who want a basic phone. Stands for 500 Decibels when it rings.
