Absolutely the best! Sep 12, 2009
By T. Mehrens "tom95134"
I bought 3 SL78H handsets to work with the SL785. These are fantastic. The size and appearance makes them a great addition to any desktop or nightstand. The digital time display changes to just the time and dims after a few moments so it does not leave a bright light glowing and keeping you awake. Alternatively, you can set the display to show an analog clock (one with hands).

Voice quality is fantastic, features are comprehensive, and the range is excellent. The built-in phone book allows you to have multiple numbers associated with each entry, e.g., home, mobile, work, and by using the included software which can download your Outlook contacts to the phone book, you can program bypass numbers for 3rd party international service providers. This is the 2nd Gigaset telephone system I have had and I bought these new models as soon as they were available in the United States.

While a "package" of the base and additional handsets might be a bit pricey when compared to other wireless telephones the Gigaset system is worth every cent.

Not quite what I had hoped Sep 20, 2009
By G. Richter
Technically - this phone does everything that I wanted. It talks to a Bluetooth headset, it downloaded my contact list from Outlook, it automatically answers as I lift it out of the cradle. It feels hefty and solid.

My disappointment? Two things. First - I have the volume cranked and it just isn't loud enough. If my hearing was bad - it would be totally unacceptable. Unfortunately, I am at the age where that time isn't far off. At the moment, the problem is that I have a senior citizen relative who's voice is hard to hear on the phone. On my other phones, I crank the volume to hear her - on this one, with the volume all the way up, I'm straining to hear her.

My second problem is that the headset is not at all comfortable for me to use. The top of the phone cuts into my ear during long phone calls. It always feels uncomfortable. It is even more so when I speak to someone I can't hear well, and I unconsciously press the phone tighter to my ear.

I haven't decided to send it back yet. I have a home office where I take a lot of customer calls. I'm going to see if this works well for me as a Bluetooth only phone.

htlba Sep 02, 2010
By T. Barnes "htlba"
I got this several weeks ago for my home office dedicated line. I have to say it is the best phone I've ever had. The volume is low so to resolve that, I have a Panasonic KX-TS3282B and I use a splitter so that I can have a clear speakerphone. And at times when I just don't want to hold the Siemens in my hand for long periods of time, I also have a Plantronics Savi Office WO100 headset that is DECT 6.0 attached to the Panasonic.

I've killed the ringer on the Panasonic and removed the handset coil cord from the handset and base. I made termination plugs for both the Savi connection from headset to phone and the handset. One only has to remove the handset from the cradle and hit the on button on the side of the headset. No lifters needed. When the call ends I hit the button on the headset to turn it off and put the handset back into its cradle.

I will say that I also would like the volume on the Siemens to be louder, but until they come out with a firmware refresh that addresses the issue. I'll have to do.

The other thing I like about this phone is that you can upgrade the firmware and if you registered your phone, you can get email notification when updates are available.

I will say that so far I've not had any of the service needs some have had.

If nothing else works, this is the one! Jan 07, 2010
By M Packer
If you have trouble with coverage, this phone works great. Unfortunately each phone works independentlty and they do not sync phone numbers, ring tones. etc.

Slow Processor May 18, 2011
By R. Rose
This not a bad phone. The one thing that this phone is lacking is that you can not see the time when you are on a call. The other thing is that the phone's response time of switching between the menus. It has an extremely slow proccesor. The Plantronics phone, Panasonic and so many others move from one screen to another quickly but NOT this one.
