I had the previous model for 8 years and it worked great. The slide is still good. The only problem is that my glass was cracked so I thought I needed a new one. I tried to buy the exact model but unfortunately it looks like a replacement. A power button and a 3 times larger battery cover are new. I don't need a power button and the huge battery cover looks cheap. The biggest drawback is the slide. The thumb slider hangs ridiculously low and is very jagged when sliding. Now I'm trying a different brand.
