One of the best cordless phones on the market,

This review is from: Siemens S455 DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone System with Ansering Machine (Office Product)
Having lived in Europe I soon realized in the US that the majority of cordless phones sold here are of poor quality. The Siemens S455 is a pleasant surprise, which may be due to the fact that this phone is designed and manufactured in Germany.
Briefly, I have only had this phone for 3 days - but this is my experience so far:
- Voice quality both by handset and speakerphone is outstanding
- DECT is the new emerging phone standard in the US works very well and provides excellent range without any Wifi interference. It is nice to see this standard now in the US and I suspect that it will take over the prime spot from 2.4 and 5.8Ghz phones. It is also secure
- The colour screen is beautiful with a good resolution (128*128), bright, and easily legible
- The user interface is good; it resembles that of a cell phone; once you get used to it is excellent. All functions are done via the headset.

Great Phone, Stylish Too!
I bought these phones after extensive research on a substitute for my Uniden 5.8 Ghz cordless phones.

Siemens was the only brand offering DECT phones that were both, decent in term of functions and quality and yes, stylish and sleek. Call me picky but I thing phones are another piece of furniture, and they can kill your décor easily. They should blend in, and this phone was perfect for what I wanted. Needless to say Siemens won a design award on this phone
Finally, I found a phone not affected by a router. I have talked on this phone a few centimeters from the router and there is no change on the voice quality, which is always crisp and...Read more

Great Phone,

I just received this phone and I am amazed with the quality. I previously owned the Siemens Gigaset 4215 for 5 years and I never had a problem. But this phone is so light and smaller that it almost feels like a Cell phone. It is very easy to operate, which I like to. I am also glad that Siemens is sellin in the US again.
