Not a bad phone if you don't need mute,

This is a great phone except for one major problem: it has no mute. The advertisements say it has mute and the user guide says it has mute, but what they call "mute" is really "hold". If you use the mute function, you'll hear beeps and everyone else will hear music. You can turn off the music, but you still can't hear what anyone else on the call is saying, so it's useless for conference calls.
This was important enough for me to return the product.

I got one of these after careful review.. wanted a DECT phone that wouldn't interfere with my wireless networks and could eventually support a wireless headset (similar to a bluetooth set, only DECT). Clarity and range are excellent, and it is a sleek, well constructed phone. The menu system is a bit slow, but not terribly so.
I knocked off 2 stars for a more significant problem: Whenever someone picks up another extension, the E450 automatically disconnects, by design. Apparently its some kind of security feature that might work well if -all- my phones were Siemens DECT phones, as you can enable/disable the security feature (called 'Listen In') if you like. But I don't plan on buying any more handsets unless they are dirt cheap since we have older cordless phones that work well.
All in all I still like the E450 but it's not meant for use with other model phones on the same line, due to the disconnect issue. If there's no one else home to pick up another...Read more

Great phone - and it works with VOIP,

This phone is great, the speakerphone is so much better than any other phone I've had, and it's very easy to use. The color display is really neat. We have cable internet and use Lingo for VOIP, and it's never been a problem. So far it's as good as a phone can get. The only bad thing about it is that the clock tends to be a little slow, and every month or so I notice that it's 3 or 4 minutes behind, but other than that I'm really happy with it.
