Summary: Bell Sonecor Micro-Cassette Tele-Recorder
Review: So far, the Bell Sonecor performs OK. It came with the spring
detached from the Cassette door, which keeps the door from being held firmly shut. Better 'quality control' would have prevented this.

It is difficult to remount the spring because of possible damage to the unit in the process and components are mostly plastic.
I am using it as is.

Returning it for exchange is not worth the expense involved.

Summary: Great for transcribing notes of multi-party conference calls
Review: The device NEEDS a dedicated AC adapter.
I am a salesperson and as such I coordinate meetings with various customer/prospect personnel and technical personnel at my company. I usually set up these conference calls and normally keep the notes of the calls. There are many questions and action items that need to be followed up on as a result of these meetings. This recorder allows me to fully participate in the call without worrying about keeping notes and when the call is over, I can go back and retrieve the entire contents of the call. I can then create notes of the call and send to all parties involved to verify that everyone is in agreement as to the action items from the call and who made what committments.
I have 1 or 2 conference calls a day and this device allows me to make those calls as well as my normal call load and have a life.
The sound quality is very good.
It also has the ability to play the recording back into the handset if you want to allow a third party to hear the call.
