Has nice features... when they work

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2006

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2007
Review: I have been nothing but disappointed with this unit. The keypad failed within months, and it took 3 contact attempts to get it sent in for warrantee repairs. Customer service is a joke. The language/accent barrier only adds to the frustration. I...
