Processed very noble and high quality

after our old Siemens device after 8 years begins seemingly give up the ghost now needed a new phone. After some research and the evaluation of test results, we came to this unit.

In Saturn gave us a sellers also pointed on its own initiative on independent tests and his personal opinion was that Siemens is building in question, although mobile phones in the price range in the normal phone range but is a leader. Alternatively, there were devices from Panasonic and Philips. However, Siemens is the best package.

Design / Shape:
What was a reason to buy for us was the great design and especially the feel of the device. It's a little heavier than the plastic Tick device, however, you feel the quality formally. It is very solid and stable. The device is very small and is still well in hand (according to the seller, the currently smallest unit in this price / performance class - this I can not comment).

Display:
Extremely bright, I do not have the highest level set nevertheless one can speak out recognize super sunlight everything. The brightness is immediately fully there (probably LEDs in the background).
Unfortunately, the resolution is good, but for the advertised photo viewing for my claims is not sufficient - no matter that I want to do with the device also.
There are no streaks or "smearing" when scrolling. The display looks interesting, chic.
The colors come across well - the default color profile I like very much (see Product Details). The product photos show the display at Amazon.com as it is - the photos are certainly not optimized in terms of display representation.

Sound / voice quality:
There's really nothing to complain about - loud and clear.
Also in speakerphone has a very good voice quality. I turn often the speaker, place the phone on the table and then speak further. The participant at the other end says he recognizes no difference, there splints to be no Rückkoplung. One can ask the speaker very loud, I have him standing more on 50%.

Operation:
Everything top, very nice is that you can import your contacts from the PC.
The keys respond immediately, large menu delays is not felt. Phonebook is immediately there - had read somewhere times that you want this to appear only after 1-2 seconds. Is nonsense - I now have 49 entries in it and it is immediately there - like all other menus too.

Power consumption / radiation:
Very low, there is an ECO Plus mode, the manual operation the values ​​are listed, are a maximum 1.6 watts in consumption. The device detects the distance to the station and automatically adjusts the transmission power. In the station when not in use, the value reverts to 0.
Note: This applies only if you also use the new base station and the device does not operate on an old / other station. We just wanted a new handset have (since the old base station still functioning). Since this model as a handset but just as expensive as the Komplettsett and you can save with the Komplettsett of electricity and radiation, we shared everything.

The range I tested only in our house (detached, massive concrete walls). The station is on the ground floor, the first and second floor I can still Eco-Plus mode still receive (ie by 2 massive concrete ceiling with steel struts through), my old Gigaset 4000 has not done ....

Other:
I particularly like the "Screen Saver" with the analog clock - which looks very classy. However, I have the phone set so that the display is completely deactivated in the station as well as other after a short time. Otherwise, the unit lights at night - and because I prefer dark.
The AB is preset with a good message.
In the menu you can adjust all possible options. Even baby monitor etc. is possible - but that explains the manual very thick and completely German all very good and detailed (there also consult the manufacturer to download). The manual is the thickest I've currently. I did not but used for the setup of the equipment.
Super I find the key illumination that can be adjusted flexibly. Buttons made of metal have the numbers / symbols stamped as "holes" behind the LEDs sit. So noble, I did not expect it - looks modern / classy, ​​simple and somehow "futuristic" from.

One can also photos of people deposit or other data on your phone to store (via Bluetooth from a PC). The seller thought it was great that you can have a look at the picture of each caller. Well, ok, but I do not really consumption.

There are a whole lot of ring tones, not only annoying but also Gedüdel really nice, rising "Relax" music in MP3 format. You can also copy its onw music (MP3s) to the device, the music sounds thanks to the good speaker also quite good, but of course not with a hi-fi system really comparable. Man kan the Klingelei make very loud - I did it at 75% and you hear them still well in the 1st floor. Comes in MP3s also depends on how loud it yourself.

The device can be brought to new firmware releases with the software from Siemens. Angedacht are new features. However, I have nothing to complain about, the product splints not the customer to "mature" (as several F **** - box models).

I think recessions always "suspicious" if they are so extremely positive as this one - but I really have no criticism of the device.

The device is worth the price - if you attaches great importance to the look and feel. A vulnerability I have not yet found the device I have now since 2 weeks in operation. We had planned to spend less than 100 euros for a new phone, but we have not regretted so far. Hopefully it lasts as long as our last Siemens Gigaset.

Update: Now we have the equipment already more than a month - there is nothing new (negative) to reports. The battery lasts a long time - the data in the manual seem to agree. Over time, the battery will probably wear something but that's known. The battery is actually a native format, so no standard battery AAA or similar. However, thus only be so flat the device.
