| | I tried the M3's - they're expensive and rubbishy plastic. Tiny
| | buttons 
| | and displays.
| | 
| | I've not found a better DECT system for range and clarity than the
| | Siemens 
| | ones - however some people have said that they're a bit quiet -
| make
| | sure 
| | you turn the volumes up in both the basestation and on the
| handsets.
| | They 
| | do support g729 natively, but I don't know if they carry it over
| the
| | air - 
| | DECT standard is G726 AFAIK... Although they do support a G722
| | wide-band, 
| | so that'd have to be an over-air codec.
| | 
| | Their programming interface is a bit slow though - it's really
| | horrible 
| | javascript and pathalogically slow. I use google chrome...
| | 
| | There are features to sync. phone books between handsets too on the
| | newer 
| | ones, and they will display a big O_O type symbol when there is
| | voicemail.
| | 
| | (It's a reel-to-reel tape symbol, but when was the last time anyone
| 
| | actually used tape??? Bit like "dialling" a number I guess... :)

| Hi Gordon,
| 
| Thanks for that ... Which Siemens Gigaset model have you been
| installing ? I presume you need one with a base station aswell ?
| 
| I see Snom are bringing out M9s aswell !

Okay; looks like going to give a S685 a try to replace my Snom 360 deskphone.  I see it also supports IM networks ... Anybody know if it does straight XMPP so I can hook into my own Jabber server ?

Best Regards,
