<div class="moz-cite-prefix">That is true about the A580. <br>
<br>
I don't like the interface much to check messages.<br>
<br>
Besides that every time I go to dial a number...it always uses the
first digit pressed to go into phone mode..so I have to press the
first digit twice...<br>
<br>
I would test other phones but it's for home and I can't fork over
$$ to try them all out....<br>
<br>
I have tested some Nokia cell phones, the N97, N900, and E71 and
the E71 and N900 worked well. I didn't like the N97.<br>

One thing I dislike about the A580H is that the handset always says 'You have new messages' if I've missed a call. It wouldn't bug me if it said 'missed call' but it tells me I have new messages and even lights up a red LED under a button with a picture of an envelope on it.
I'm about to test an A510IP and an A610IP to compare against the A580. Fingers crossed neither of them has that issue, because the Gigaset phone is a pretty good phone other than that, and the difficulty doing a (blind) transfer, as referred to by the OP.

<pre wrap="">I've been using the Gigaset A580 Base and A58H Phone for about 3 years now. Never gave me problems. The call Quality is excellent!
I only have 1 handset connected to the Base but I want more. I bought a Linksys WIP330 as a 2nd phone to try out and that works just as good without a base unit.
The A580 Base supports up to 6 handsets.
I have 6 Incoming VOIP Numbers using separate SIP accounts pointed to 1 Handset but you can point each SIP to separate handsets.
The call goes to the first phone that picks up. When on a call, picking up another phone makes a separate call and does not conference. I don't use conference yet but I know you have to put the call on hold or something.
The thing I don't like about the A580 and might be the same on all of them is that you can only specify 1 Sip Account for making outgoing calls. In other words, all 6 phones would use the same caller id out, but I wanted to be able to choose that because I have a business number and number for each person in our household. In order to use a different Caller ID (SIP Account) for making outgoing calls I added a extension to my Dial Plan and before making outgoing calls I press *1-6 before the number.
I'm going to try adding more handsets that are compatible. I want the SL78H but they are so expensive for just home everyday use.
Make sure you check the compatibility page here before buying handsets.
