Good points Excelent Battery life, good tone and very good loudspeaker, clear display. Answerphone good.

Bad points Menu takes a bit of getting used to. Although equipped with bluetooth unable to connect with Microsoft Outlook ona PC. Numbers from a mobile have to be sent individually by bluetooth as a business card. However once all the numbers required have been sent, then the whole directory can be sent to the other home phones (one by one).

Good points Simple to use and customisable interface.

Bad points Answer machine records a blank message if the caller hangs up mid answer machine.

Good points Siemens Gigaset S685 Sextet Dect Phone is essentially plug and go, after a few minutes with the manual to familiarise myself with the menus. Love the call transfer feature - great if you have teenagers with every other call for them - simply transfer calls to other handsets in bedrooms etc.

Bad points Haven't figured out the ringtones yet - I just want a old-fashioned 'ring-ring' but cant' find it, yet. Handset is very lightweight but seems strong enough.

Other thoughts

No regrets buying this 6-handset system.

Good points Blue Tooth allows easy transfer of directory from mobile phones which can then be shared with other handsets if you have more then one.

Bad points Not come across any
