I can tell you now that one of the things I like about the Kigaset is that the buttons are a hard plastic and require a firm press, I don’t like those rubber buttons and in any case, I find they don’t last too long. The buttons trigger a very short identifiable beep when pressed, the volume of this beep can be controlled, the beep sound is nice and short thus its not annoying as is the case with so many phones these days for the home market. Shortcuts are a plenty with this device, holding down the hash key locks the phone for example, that function is a toggle and holding down the number one key calls the voice mail service if you have one, you can define the number called. there are 2 soft keys at the top which can be defined to perform different tasks, open a list of the various VOIP providers for example so you can scroll down to the one you want to dial out with. Of course you have the regular features that can be set up such as dialling plans and rules, these are set up from the built in Web Configurator. > On 1 Aug 2015, at 4:27 pm, brianolesen <br...@blindkom.dk> wrote: > > Hi Dane, > This sounds like an interesting phone. > > Could you eventually give a description of the physical properties of the > phone?
