Title: Range is terrible
Review: The concept of this phone is good, but the implementation is terrible. The problems:1. The range is about 1/20th the range for a 900 mhz Sony that cost 1/5 as much (the Gigaset will NOT even reach across the house). This is not an isolated instance, two base stations did the same thing as do multiple handsets. The Sony and the gigaset were in the same location too so it was not a factor of varied locations. Whether it is the 2.4Ghz vs 900mhz, I do not know, but the range is very bad. And Siemens' support line was no help at all in resolving the issue.2. The handsets are flimsy and seem low quality.The concept itself is very good, but Siemens needs to do a LOT better job in building a product that reaches its goals. I like the features for the most part (e.g. auto-updating the time on the base station, transferring directory entries between phones, needing only one base station, but having the option of having too), but the problems are sufficient to make the features useless.
Is the review positive or negative?
