Advantages: Many features, "pretty" good voice quality Disadvantages: Too numerous to mention
I now have my second S455 Gigaset. The first one had a speaker phone, which worked intermittently. Before the phone could be sent (at my expense) to Texas for repair, customer service had to be called to get a necessary number. More than a week and four calls resulted in nothing. I filed a formal complaint with the BBB and the number was finally receiver via email.
The following comments apply to both S455 cordless phones: The keypad is small and the keys are close together, neither of which is convenient for a man. To make matters worse, the keys require considerable pressure to activate. Only some of the keys are lighted, which means that they must be identified using normal room light or by key position on the pad.
The instructions are vary badly written, apparently be someone with only a clausal understanding with the English ...
Advantages: It's got all the features I want from a phone Disadvantages: None
After moving into a new house and sorting out a landline, it was time to get a new phone. So a friend gave us a corded phone, but no, that wasn't good enough for Mr. Nykied, who wanted to be able to lie on the sofa and speak to people. So off we trotted to Tesco, where we were faced with a whole array of cordless phones, a lot of them with offers on them.
I liked two different ones, he liked the Siemens CS385. As the area where the phones are based has fairly loud music playing in it and I was on the phone to my sister who'd just had a baby a few hours before and I wanted to make the most of the extortionate amount the NHS would be charging me for ringing my sister, I capitulated (a lot faster than I would have usually, that's for sure) and we left Tesco with two Siemens CS385 phones.
There was an offer on where you could get ...
Advantages: Stylish, easy to use, outstanding battery life Disadvantages: Don't expect the colour screen to be like your mobile phone!
Not long ago, I wrote a review of my BT Synergy Quad phone set, stating how happy I was with it. And I was happy with it, although I did state that the battery was starting to give me problems periodically.
Now I could have gone on using my Synergy set for some time, but the battery issue was starting to get me down...occasionally I would be chatting away on the phone only to have the line and phone go dead in mid conversation.
I had already decided that when I replaced the BT set, it would only be for phones with colour screens and I shall unashamedly admit this choice was made on aesthetic grounds rather than through thorough research.
My mind was finally made up when I received a VIP invite to the Next summer sale online and spied upon the SiemensGigaset C475 Triple available for the bargain price of £50 - so far as I was ...
