Special Edition with AB (color display), wood-white "played into their hands.
Here are a few comments on this unit.
Packing
What can you already say a carton. It is relevant and protects the interior
Good. However, I must admit that even here the first time a little -
was experiencing tiny "A-ha" feeling. Somehow a "noble" surface by a
cool and rough surface. Maybe I was also just biased. After all
the phone has been announced as a design-oriented, and we knew from the beginning that
you have in your hands something "noble".
In short, the external appearance fit!
Inside no surprises were to be found - packaging technology!
Delivery
After all, next to the phone (fortuitous) with its base station and the minimum necessary
Cables, adapters and a few other outlets are. I think so is to
always be prepared at least in Europe.
A user manual in several languages, or rather actually more
Operating manuals each in other languages, are included with the device.
First contact
Keeping the unit from the handset and base station for the first time in his hand, then turns
also expected from the product images "O-ho" a. Assuming you know the pictures,
it is considered that exactly then in hand. The wooden insert in the handset has me first
enthusiastic. Very pleasant and even "pretty" which of course all in the eye of
Beholder.
What strikes me is equal to the "connection" between the handset and base - the bearing surfaces
so to speak. While it's charging technology and design technically not matter whether one or head to head
Stores head to the end, but you have when dropping a bit more detail objectives, so that the
Ends are stored clean each other. With my old 08-15 phone base station
and half lying-standing storage of the handset can selbige almost in passing
Be "thrown in". These designer pieces would, however, and with a little more time
Are stored carefully. Well, that is still bearable.
Connection and Setup
Two cables for connection to power and telephone socket are. Classic under the
Plugged base station, passed fixed in a narrow part they go
below the base station laterally. I would at this telephone white wire
I have found, but now there are just black cable.
The fact is that the cable then "naturally" the fact is that then not the phone
can appear quite as noble as the by-designed product images on the Web. That
as with the flat screen TVs. On the wall in a stylish designer lounge
Comments total across well in advertising. Then stick with oneself on the wall,
then you realize that at least 5-10 cable dangling below, which you can then try
need to hide.
Will say that interfere with cables, are necessary, but as already mentioned white would certainly
have been better!
Commissioning is simple, was so simple that I do not work properly
can keep track of which have few steps I have done.
In my case I have the base plugged directly into the FON port of Fritzbox. A
certainly widespread solution. However, the wiring should also anyone
a problem is that does not have a Fritz box at home.
Since the handset is preloaded battery side you can at least also equal to the wizard
start (in the handset display!). Yes, the manual is intended to first the battery completely
Load on x hours, but who does that and waits, if you like a chic
Holding part in the hands ?!
Time, date and language was adjusted quickly and zack bum also communicated my
Fritzbox already with the device and had assigned all available phone numbers (MSN).
Now I have left the unit before further investigation some time to load.
The get-to-know
When it was time the menu and thus the configuration options of the phone to
investigate, then I do not like the first time the keyboard more closely.
Large buttons to make good and also offers perfect pressure point. But, and I like that
now personally not so, anything but monochrome! The typical buttons for starting and
ending a call are not as so often red and green solution or marked. So
a swab paint on these buttons would have made it easier. Maybe you get used to
also the location of the keys, but I felt as optical 'defect'.
The display is super! Loud and clear, high resolution, very easy to recognize. Color Capable.
Top!
In idle mode it displays the time and date.
Here is really nothing to complain about on the contrary: it is the right to a
Designer telephone confirmed.
The other technical data or functions can be found on the Web and at Philips. Here
it is full-bodied z.Bsp .:
"5,1 cm (2 inch) color display with high resolution - Settings for class
Voice quality - Handset speakerphone - Answering machine with up to 60 min.
Message duration - privacy settings: Call Barring, sleep mode with filter -
Talk time up to 18 hours on a single charge, etc. "
What has struck me is technically negative, is very rudimentary address. Here you will find nothing of what z.Bsp. in cell phones standard is: no long name (with 16 characters is concluded), no possibility to have more than one phone number to store to a name and we need a simplified import feature Kntakten not even talk. All this would certainly be able to implement. However, one can also do without it.
But what struck me even purely subjective pleasant, in fact, the HD-tones
or sounds that have been given to the phone. Alone is the laying of the base
a short melody again, I now do not want to miss. Somehow pleasant
unobtrusive but also not just a simple beep-beep.
And then purely optical I find the tiny state diode in the back of the
Listener very well. It flashes z.Bsp. discreetly in yes ... I would light blue to
white call when missed calls are present, orE messages on the AB.
Very subtly and appropriately to the overall impression of the phone.
Conclusion:
"Schick He is definitely the new litter of Philips." The phone does what you
would expect from a mid-range device at least. Packed it is also in
a really appealing exterior. Style elements wisely used as the
Wooden grip and the status LED underline the claim a designer phone
be. All in all, the M8 definitely an eye-catcher, the technically
can convince. A BUY recommendation for all, in addition to technology and good design to
appreciate.
