Hi Alan,

The feature set of the M9 does not appear to be available anywhere yet, unfortunately as it is being released late this month, so not sure about the analogue interface.  Personally I have a TDM card in my Asterisk server so that feature in the phone is not on my list of requirements.

I type pretty quick on a handset so the slow response does hinder me a bit which is why it went on my cons list.  The Siemens is a good phone as I expect, hopefully ;), the M9 will be.

As always I guess it will come down to personal preference.

I just hope when the M9 is released it does not have all the issues the M3 had when it was first launched.

Best Regards,
