Tiny buttons and displays. I've not found a better DECT system for range and clarity than the Siemens ones - however some people have said that they're a bit quiet - make sure you turn the volumes up in both the basestation and on the handsets. They do support g729 natively, but I don't know if they carry it over the air - DECT standard is G726 AFAIK... Although they do support a G722 wide-band, so that'd have to be an over-air codec. Their programming interface is a bit slow though - it's really horrible javascript and pathalogically slow. I use google chrome... There are features to sync. phone books between handsets too on the newer ones, and they will display a big O_O type symbol when there is voicemail. (It's a reel-to-reel tape symbol, but when was the last time anyone actually used tape??? Bit like "dialling" a number I guess... :) Gordon

It still gets lots of hits from people looking for info on them. FYI We have two sets in our network - they haven't missed a beat since installation. HTH Alan

Voice quality is definitely superior to the M3 though I guess that will be addressed in the M9 with G722 support. Impressions of the Siemens phone :- Pros ---- Great Voice Quality Easy to configure Good range Ability to transfer address books Good build quality Cons ---- Keys feel fiddly Keys response time when dialling is very slow When call connection is made a audible beep is heard which cuts of the first .5 second of a VM message DTMF does not all transfer correctly On the whole it seems a very capable phone and very well laid out. For my personal needs it just does not feel right with how the keys react. Hopefully the M9 will be released very shortly so I can make a comparison. Thanks to everyone's replies.
