The design phone comes in a small not spectacular, elongated cardboard. However, after all the changes immediately on seeing the content, because the phone is a real eye-catcher. With real wood and aluminum on both ends, it looks stylish and stylish. The small but powerful speakers and in real wood a small opening with a LED is indicating the start of the charging process between the real wood and the upper aluminum edge. Charging time is up to eight hours, it does not matter which way round the handset is hung up because a charge in both directions is possible. If you place the handset on the base station, the small LED light will flash briefly and you hear a melody indicating that the charging process begins.
Also managed the color display, which has a pleasant size (this would be just at the resolution still room been upwards). The keypad consists of relatively large keys, which have a very good pressure point and with 23 keys provide ways of comfortable operation. The phone has a length ranging from my ear to my mouth, and therefore relatively long.
The connection is simple because it only needs the power plug and the telephone line will be plugged and already the phone is ready for use. The manual is short, however, everything is explained in easy and well understandable way, the menu basically speaks for itself. It is also possible to download the user manual on the website of Philips.
The handset has the basis of real wood weighs about 175 grams so it considerable weight, but fits comfortably in your hand (also during long telephone conversations) despite or perhaps because of the weight.
Throughout the house the signal from the base station is good, and even in the basement with concrete walls, the handset has no problems with reception. The phone is expandable up to four handsets, under certain circumstances this may differ due to the real wood.
The answering machine has a capacity of up to 60 minutes, but the Nahrichten be retrieved only via the handset. The voice quality is really good, as was the quality of the hands-free, which is really a great performance due to the small speaker.
The phone offers many possibilities such as adjust rest periods and thereby remove certain numbers. Also certain prefixes can be locked or only certain phone numbers.
Unlike the really great externals are in the inner values, not all things as perfect as the exterior, such as the phone book, which is possible with only 16 characters per number and no link to several numbers. Nor is there any options to set individual ringtones. Furthermore, there is neither a possibility via USB or WiFi to the phone to modify.
There is also the possibility to use the handset as an alarm or as a baby monitor, for me more a gimmick than a real useful application.
Conclusion: good phone that is managed primarily by the feel, on the other hand does not approach the technical possibilities.
