Siemens Gigaset SL785 IP Cordless Phone meet the highest standards regarding design, technology and environmental friendliness. A unique design concept using solid metal underscores the high quality of the handset and charging cradle. Special emphasis was placed on ease of use: Users can move through the newly designed menu system with its intuitive icons using a central 5-way navigation key (four direction keys plus a middle key) on the handset. Metal dome key technology with its clear pressure point gives a completely new feel. Ideal legibility is ensured by the large TFT QVGA color display with 256,000 colors (240 x 320 pixels). In addition, both phones offer excellent sound quality even when used in full-duplex handsfree mode. If desired, users can also mute the phones and define VIP users. When the latter call, an acoustic signal is emitted despite the fact that the phone is muted.

Superb in all aspects Ignore the price, this is the Range Rover of VOIP cordless Branster

5/5 roll over for details

Good points The call quality is incredible. The handset and it's cradle are engineered top shelf stuff you expect from the Germans. When using the handset, it feels, and is top quality. The display is first rate. Battery life is excellent too!

I have this setup with my Virgin Media landline and also three VOIP accounts.

Huge range of features in the software for set up and configuration.

Bad points None

Other thoughts

To anyone pondering about whether or not to purchase just on the price factor then ponder no more. If you want a device that looks the part, feels the part, has awesome call quality and will more than likely still be as good in 10 years time, get it bought.

It's the best £140 I have spent - ever! :-)
