Today my new cordless phone for my home arrived. I ordered a Philips CD4401S/22 at internetwarenhuis. The reason I chose this phone is because the handsfree was supposed to be very good. My previous phone was another philips phone, but it occasionally resets for some reason since a few months. Overal it's a descent phone, although there are some things that could be better. Here are my impressions after half an hour:
- The phone is not white! On all images it is white, but in reality it's gray
- It has more topweight than bottom weight. My preference is the other way around
- The blue screen is too bright, can't be adjusted. Without bluelight, it's too dark too read. Also, the display is slow. (LCD)
- The buttons are a tad too hard to press, but overall they're ok.
- My previous phone used the green dial button to toggle handsfree. I think that's better
- If you're in a call, and put the phone in it's cradle, it hangs up! It is possible to dial a number when it's in the cradle and then pick it up.
- Handsfreemode has a volume treshold, which is annoying
- Sound quality is very clear. The handsfreemode is excellent
- The phonesize is perfect. You can hold it in your neck perfectly.
So what things are important for you when choosing a home/office phone?
