We got off the phone now since 12/2013 and are very satisfied. The reasons to buy this phone have included + Long range + Good speech intelligibility + Comfortable adjust the volume during a call + Waterproof, dustproof and shockproof especially to IP6 (which we wanted) + Easy to use + High-quality optics + Spot LED (flashlight) -is not a gimmick, but very practical and often and often used by us - High price, but the price was Amazon- min.15 cheaper as the cheapest supplier in Rotenburg district and Friday 22.00 clock ordered from Amazon and Saturdays 13.00 clock delivered !!! ... Oh and one more thing, in some recessions is: "- the base station and charging cradle separately and hence 2 power plug !!!" Probably from the perspective of the author a disadvantage, but who wants to have the base station separately from the charging cradle, from whatever reason, must come to terms danit that both devices (base station and charging cradle) require a power supply.
