This replaces the older Brother T76 which I was happy with. The T106 is much smaller and lighter which gives more space on your desk. I choose this model mainly because it uses the same ribbon cartridge as the T76. It functions ok, but the hand set is also much smaller which I find frustrating. The biggest down side is the dreadful sound quality of the recorded outgoing message - a muffled metalic sound. This is much worse than the old one. Had I known this beforehand I would have bought something else. The incoming answerphone messages are nice and clear.
We all assume new products are going to be better - not in this case.
