It looks like a phone and it is a telephone. By design, there is another real eye-catcher in our living room. With respect to the exact appearance, which can be hard to describe, I highly recommend the images.
The phone was delivered in a very high quality and attractive packaging, but the optimal size and few frills exhibited. Here Thanks to the environment to the manufacturer. There was just so much packaging is used as needed, but this just very appealing.
The phone itself is white - so an absolute trend color. It therefore fits perfectly with our visually 2 MacBooks. :-)
It has a charging station, and the telephone, which is on the cordless charging station. Cable were included here, which, however, would like to have 1m longer can be.
The manual has been very short. I have prepared myself before to a book, like always is the case usually. However, this phone came with a small DIN-A6 Faltblättchen therefore and it had all the necessary information contained in multiple languages. Despite the instructions much inserting the batteries quite heavy. Here you have the entire top shell of the telephone receiver down "tear". That sounds not only threatening but also sounded like one. I had already so my worries that it's about to happen to the phone. If the battery but even there, the phone can be put into operation immediately.
Default is the language, the date and time. Done. How you can make calls, is also immediately clear as daylight. A green button and a red button with one handset it show that it decreases here and hangs up. the number keys agree to yes by itself. The key we redial corresponds to the "old style" of the symbol.
The keys to be seem to be behind a total film. It touches her at least as well and looks a little after that. But is definitely not the case. It is easily processed only first class. The buttons are big enough and can be pressed well. They also appeal to excellent. The Touch - the one can also welcome to leave - shows acoustically, that you pressed a button.
Because the display - in blue - is on the inside of the listener, you can not see if someone calls it. You can specify whether you want to accept the call, if one takes the listener from the station, or want to use the keys. I prefer the latter option, so that I can see at first who it is for. If you've missed a call, know a small LED on the side of the listener through hectic blinking out. Here the disadvantage is that it is only on one side of the listener. One must always look that one when placing the diode has forward. Appropos hang. With its commitment to listeners on the station, thanks this a this a friendly tone, so that we know that the handset is resting properly and can be downloaded. Nice ...
There is a phone book for 100 entries. You have to take a little bit short, only in the name in the phone book. For First & Last name of the place is not enough.
Those who intend to the landline phone SMS to write, take pictures, store 300 addresses, and other things that so many phone now can - looking better in another phone. This here all can not and that was the reason why I bought it. Less is sometimes more.
How long the battery in the phone stops I'd like to say, but I have not yet received it after 5 days in addition to the station and about 2h call empty. So I think that is quite long and quite sufficient.
The menu itself is extremely easy to use. But there are indeed hardly functions there. The display is equipped with blue, "making-happy-light" and black text and legible. In addition, the phone has a phonetic / speakerphone. The phone quality is very good both in QUIET- and the sound mode.
What the phone definitely missing is a search function. Who does not know, because you like to puts the phone in the refrigerator and 3h later studied ... :-)
My old Gigaset had a button that takes you to the phone ring at the station. This is missing here, so you just have to call to the mobile phone and to look for the phone.
An answering machine is not available and also not available. Here you have to buy an extra device. Unfortunately I have found none, which is the phone design. Here Swissvoice should reloading.
Priced at currently EUR 65.00 on Amazon (as of 28.12.2010) the phone is to be classified as normal-priced.
My conclusion is that I definitely can not recommend this phone and would like it and would personally buy me at any time.
