I have purchased the Speedphone 10, Finish Black, the end of August at electronics stores. It's amazing that there are variations in the reviews in the evaluation of the device. I can connect to good and very good reviews me here. The unit is well made and makes a high impression. It fits comfortably in your hand. The display is very readable, the buttons are big enough, well labeled and also good to use. A device that is also well suited for seniors. It's a phone! Not for Email, SMS, RSS or other frills. And it's a "DECT-phone" that is optimized for connection to routers Telekom. I run it on a router 921V. The commissioning was, as already described by several here, very easy. Protect tab Pull the battery, the unit starts and calls for connection to a base, so the router on. Press once on the router, once confirmed at Speedphone and the connection is established. After that Speedphone wants to load a new firmware immediately. This is done after 5 minutes and you're ready to go. Battery life without problems! I have the Speedphone once fully charged. I run it in "Full-Eco-Mode", which is a bit more current costs and at the display is off in the idle state. It now runs despite several calls and many controls settings for the Contacts directory three days without charging. Of the four charging bars is only one way. (See also below updates from 02:09:14 and 07:09:14) The unit develops its full benefits in connection with the router ("Our contacts") and with the free voicemail Telekom City. I think it is excellent that I can once the router my contacts, easily accessible via PC, upload and regularly all at once on the handset or to all handsets (Speed Phones) have available. Yes, it's true, the handset invites the contacts with each call from the router. But with this second I can live. (See also update from 07.009.14) The Speedphone can "listening" and "handsfree". If you call someone and the connection is made, you get the menu display and speakers can then press, for example, the green Dial button, put on loud. It would be nicer if you could go as with other devices, before the election loudly. But even that is not really a problem. The menu is simple and clear. I also made the small Handbüchlein well. What it has not been given for bad Manuals for phones! Here someone has had a lucky hand! It really is a "manual" and not much bigger than the device itself. Everything essential is there and easy to find. Class. In some reviews reported connection problems when dialing from contacts. I can not understand. Two observations: 1) In July and August there were in the IP telephony network of Telekom extensive disorders (see press releases). Perhaps the people have caught such a black day. 2.) The selection from the Kontakverzeichnis is a bit strange. One chooses via the rocker and Ok from a contact. Then you have to press the green Dial button. Pressing again Ok, you go back in the contact directory. Perhaps irritated. The establishment of contacts in the router inspired to once again with the telephony settings for the router and to deal (with me 921V) which the customer center. It is worth it. I have taken as an opportunity, now turn off my answer machine and to activate the voice mail in the net. Voicemail works well in conjunction with the Speedphone, but even better is the use of voice mail-Pro app on a smartphone. About this app you can change settings of the network voicemail, announcements Recording and of course pick up your messages. I will not be calling from the voice box, but send me a text message and then decide when I monitor system the message. Works fine. And one more treat: If at Telekom also has his e-mail account, you get in the mail center a menu item "Voicebox" and can leave there its list announcements, download it or listen. Listen is select Open "on" Download "and then instead of" Save "". The Box is also easily reached from Speedphone 10 by a long press on the 1.Prima! Of course you can save the free 0800 number for your voicebox in the router. In the box you the familiar menu navigation has then (select the 1 ... etc.). In large households with more than one person, it may make sense to use more than three telephone numbers. You can get more numbers on IP connection without problems. These can be assigned to the incoming and outgoing speed Phones, thus corresponds to a small PBX. Of course you can also make "internal traffic" between the speed Phones. All in all, a good device at a fair price. I'm going to order one or two-speed phones and separate me from older phones. Update from 02:09:14 on the topics of battery life, contacts and voice quality I wrote above that I "Display Off" operate the device with the setting. Thus, the display appears for a short time, after I have pressed a key. There are three stages for the display setting: On, Off and dimming. After I changed the setting to dimming, the battery was empty after a short time. Thus, the display attracts as with a smartphone or tablet, a lot of energy. If you can live "off" with the display, so you are doing well. If the device is usually in the charger anyway, it is not an issue whether on or off. By the way: In order constantly to load the standing in the charging unit and unnecessary hinzubekommen a charge / discharge cycle, you can operate the charger via a timer, the device only at night and invites for a Paat hours for example. If you have the device in hand, pushing the red end call key, to display the stages on by Off, dimming, one after the other. To Guide: You can take the handset to the "My Contacts" from the menu or all contacts at once from the phone book ("Our contacts") in the router. Matter of seconds. Then also eliminates the "pause for thought" for loading the contacts from the router at the start of the phone book. It makes sense to centrally maintain contacts on the router and to accept from time to time on the handsets. For voice quality: noise I had never, at least not more than any other analog phone. When connected to a partner who has the same Speedphone, one has "HD sound quality". Again much better. As if you stand opposite. The display will then "HD" display. Updated on 09/07/2014 themes battery and call list As announced in one of my comments, I have tested the operation with new batteries. I did it only out of interest because I could also use the supplied battery not understand the vermeldeten here in some reviews extreme problems. So: For three days two speed 10 Phones are with me in the operation. I have both devices equipped with Varta Phone Rechargeable Batteries, AAA, NiMH, 800 mAh. The couple is here on Amazon to have for less than six euros. 3x2 you bekomt for under 13 euros. My Speed Phones running under the latest firmware V1.102. (See Settings, handset, firmware). With this firmware the display settings are no longer the same way as in the manual on pages 46/47 described. There is even testified that the three possible display settings "A", "From" and "dimming" is intended to have the following effects: 1.) If device in the charging cradle: "A" is equal always, full brightness, "Dimming" equal reduced brightness after 30 seconds, "from" equal display turns off after 30 seconds. 2.) outside the charging shell: "A" is equal always, full brightness, "Dimming" equal reduced brightness after 30 seconds, switch off after 3 minutes "from" equal display turns off after 30 seconds. My observation is: Outside the charger turns off the display even with the "A" after 3 minutes completely out. With a simple touch of the red hang-up you can see the three stages A, dimming, from any time soon by switch again. In my view, very reasonable and good. It makes no sense, the display of the handset when it lying around somewhere, more than 3 minutes to be "on". Now to my "maturity experiences". I have loaded the new batteries once for about 4 hours. After that was after three days "lying around" outside the charging cradle for a device a beam of four in the charge display off, the second one yet. I then, today the phone with the device that a bar has lost the piece 2 hours and put this on "speakers", ie listening. That went without problems and brought only another beam loss. So there still remain two. I let the device continue to be now and will continue to monitor. Last week I had the original battery pack (brand GP with nominiell 930mAh a standby time without long conversations of more than 4 days. I can with these maturities, whether old or new batteries, just be happy. Usually you have a handset every day once in the charging cradle, eg overnight. If it holds through three days without charging, I think that's sufficient. Shortly two other supplements: If my interlocutor iPhones, comes also the "HD" display. So iPhones apparently support the high-quality transmission quality. And yes, there is also a call list and entres and missed calls appears. The display on the call list is on all handsets the same, because it is fed by the router. It is independent from the handset and thus always complete. Very good! Updated on 20/03/2015 1.) New Firmware V2.111 and 2) do in case of problems with DECT connection to router Speedport 921V. to 1 .: My two devices today have downloaded the latest firmware version V2.111. After the first check, the menu was a little changed. There are now under "Settings" the two menu items "establishment" and "problem solving". In it are now a few points that were previously elsewhere. "Troubleshooting" will also find the options for firmware and display firmware update. Can be displayed there now also the firmware version of the router. Here is now the reset can be found in the factory settings. I assume that this whole no longer completely match the description of the menu in the manual and the actual arrangement in the device. 2 .: Recently, my two-speed phones had suddenly no DECT connection to my router Speedport 921V more. After a long search I found the explanation. I had the router 921V under home network - changed the transmission mode for Wireless LAN> Send Settings -> Wi-Fi Basic Settings. This has disturbed the DECT function! DECT works only when the wireless transmitter setting is 802.11g + 802.11n elected and "allow 300 Mbit / s" with no hook is set. That's not nice, and a lack of the firmware of the router 921V, but also not a real problem, because with the above settings works a domestic WLAN also very good.
