SIEMENS GIGASET SL565 BLUETOOTH® SKYPE PHONE REVIEW
THis is a really good phone. The documentation, features and audio quality are good. Integration through the M34 USB connector works well. Bluetooth does function as expected, although the software which you can download from the siemens site for transferring images & sounds is a bit more difficult to get working with this phone - but it can be done!
Getting an SMS when someone leaves a message on the answer phone is a nice touch. Regards Jamie Because Skype is one of those next-big-things, it seems like everyone and their mother has been releasing Skype-compatible telephones. This siemens phone, unlike others (and I’ve certainly tried a number of them in my line of work), is a good solid product. A lot of companies try to make a Skype-compatible phone as fast as possible to take advantage of the increasing demand at the expense of quality. In contrast, this telephone is better made and better thought out. The handset itself doesn’t feel like cheap plastic and instead feels strong and durable. The other hardware is also designed better. Connection is fairly easy if you follow all of the instructions and notes carefully. It’s one of the better Skype phones out in the market today.
The Bluetooth connection is good, albeit slow when I transfer data from PC to telephone, but that may be a problem with the software and not the connection itself. I appreciate and use most of the features, especially the cellular-phone-type functions such as SMS and vibrate mode, but I find a few features quite superfluous. The walkie-talkie function for example, I highly doubt anyone would use that on a daily basis.
