Bought a Swissphone RE729 pager last year and so far it has performed very well. The pager is small but seems to be well built and very rugged. Before I got the leather case for my belt, it was dropped a couple of times and had no problems. The edge has some sort of rubber liner around it, seems to cushion it from drops etc. It is a bit tricky to get used to as far as the buttons and menu goes, but once you figure it out, there's nothing to it. It is very customizable, even going so far as to make it one button operation, like the old keynote pagers. It runs on a single AA alkaline or regchargable battery and the pager & charger recognize this and even if you put it in the charger with an alkaline battery, it will not attempt to charge it. It has up to 50 addresses available as well. I work two jobs, as well as my volunteer department and Im able to change to whichever location Im at on that particular day: Fire station 1, 2, 3, or 4.. Medic 1, 2, 3, or 4 when Im at the ambulance, and finally my volunteer department. I can litterally wear this pager 24/7 and always be able to be paged. This pager has proven VERY useful in that area. The voice storage is I believe 4 or 8 minutes long, and it will generally hold a weeks worth of calls in the storage. I can hit playback, and it will go and go and go. So far the ONLY problem I've had is the charger cord. Moving from fire station to station, ambulance station to ambulance station, and home the cord had been wound up so many times that the end broke. I've solved that problem with two chargers. One for the house and one for the fire house. Price is VERY comparable to the Minitor 5's and I believe it to be a superior product. If anyone has any questions, or would like additional pics, just let me know.
Thanks
