anybody got a phone? eng or fre

Thinking of getting a phone to try out. When overseas I thought it would be an alternative communication method. Mobiles crash when there are disasters due to overload. Freshtel look very professional and Engin may be the most promoted. Either way I think we will see a lot of phones bought when they are sold in shopping centres. Engin are not displayed very well in D*ck Smith stores, just buried in all the other stuff. If a company opened its own outlet I think they would do well. Ace Communications are selling softphones for $60 in our local Westfield Shopping centre from a market type stall. I think they are the USB type but I'm going to check later in the day. Any more thoughts on these 2 companies, charts are interesting but not definite yet.
