I've had mine in service for 8 months and it has not suffered any physical problems. No, it doesn't have the look and feel of a good quality cell phone. That's true. But it hasn't been a problem either. If you're using it in a warehouse you may think differently. The Polycom SpectraLink 8002 wifi handset definitely feels more industrial strength. That's less than ideal for a lot of people. The buttons may last a billion contacts, but your really gotta push to make a positive keypress. It's like the Panasonic Toughbook of cordless phones. Might be less than ideal for an office user. I'm not unhappy with the m3. I may buy a repeater since the S685IP is going bye bye soon.
