I talked a little about the Siemens S685IP phone yesterday but didnt really mention the new firmware release a couple of days back. This had a widely-anticipated feature, that almost every other phone in the world has had for years: A mute function!
Thought I would mention the Siemens Gigaset IP phones because quite a few people have asked me recently for a voip-centric alternative to having a desk phone or some sort of analogue phone attached to an ATA. Particularly in the home environment, people want to have the flexibility that a DECT cordless phone provides; but rather than investing money in obsolete technology, they’d like to buy a cordless phone that has the smarts built-in to offer the cost savings and other benefits that SIP offers.
