Siemens Gigaset 2410 2.4 GHz - Cordless Phone

Pros: Huge array of features, great no-antenna look
Cons: refurb models very unreliable

I consider myself a pretty good bargain-hunter when it comes to filling my little apartment with decent home electronics on the cheap. Up until a month a ago, one proud moment was snagging a factory refurbished Siemens 2.4 Ghz Model 2410 telephone for...

Pros: Cool Features
Cons: Price, and range of phone

The 2410 is probably the most expensive phone I have purchased in my life, for that the base model that includes the handset as well as the base set for about 169.99 you can then add other phones to your network for about 99.00, for an extra handset....

Pros: Looks great, high security, feature-packed
Cons: poor battery life, quirky features

Specifications

The Siemens Gigaset 2410 Cordless Telephone System is a single-line, expandable phone system that comes with:

1 non-wall mountable base charger unit with a stub antenna, power & charge indicator lights, and...

Pros: Terrific Shape & Size, Headset Capable, Very Nice Directory
Cons: Sound Quality, Stated vs. Actual Features, Battery Life

I operate a small business out of a home office. A while ago, I purchased a Uniden 900 Mhz telephone with a built-in digital answering machine to function as the phone on my business line. It works well. I have a few minor gripes about it, but I like...

Pros: Many features
Cons: Poor sound, uncomfortable, hard to get to caller ID list

I had almost bought another brand of phone, such as the Vtech, but the salesperson at Fry's talked me into the Siemens. He said this one was so much better. I have to wonder if the salesperson was getting paid an extra commission on the Siemens phone,...

Pros: Great sound, good design, well thought out
Cons: Will the batteries last?

The time had come for a 2.4 gig phone. Someone had moved in downstairs with whose 900 was obviously the same as mine. We were having channel searching battles. I’d be on the phone and suddenly couldn’t talk because it skipped about looking for a free...

Pros: Cellphone-like directory of saved numbers, ability to use multiple handsets with one base station
Cons: Expensive, sound quality could be better

I've owned this phone for about 5 months, and have been extremely satisfied.

My favorite phone features

* The cellphone-like calling directory

This allows you to input the names and phone numbers of people whose...

Pros: well-designed, integrated intercom capability with handset-display caller ID
Cons: sound quality inferior to corresponding Panasonic models

This is a review of the single-line, non-answering machine integrated Siemens Gigaset 2410, not the 3010. (The product name was not in Epinions' lineup when this was written.)

I am something of a telephone nerd. Every house I've moved into I...

Pros: uses AA batteries, lot's of features, headset compatible
Cons: battery monitor is inaccurate

Uses AA batteries, headset compatible, and durable. Why do I love this phone you may ask? The main reason I bought this phone is because it takes AA batteries.

Why is this such a big deal you might ask, right? Well, have you ever talked...

Pros: great reception, large number directory, AA batteries, large readable display
Cons: no lighted keypad

The Siemens 2410 may very well be the best cordless phone you'll ever use. It provides every function you would expect of a cordless phone and leaves little to want. This phone is a must have. If you buy a cordless phone anytime soon, buy the Siemens...

Pros: Compact design wastes little space in even a small wastebasket
Cons: Sounds awful, uncomfortable, beeps a lot.

I bought this phone mainly because of its expandability in conjunction with the fact that it came highly recommended. I own a 900 MHz Sanyo, a great phone, but I wanted the longer range afforded, so I thought, by a 2.4 Ghz model.
Well, given how...

Pros: features, clarity, multiple handsets
Cons: styling, complexity

Is this a recommend or not? It depends...

I'm the geek in the household and I LOVED this phone. E.g.

+ its bitmapped multi-line display does cool things like using large font numbers until the phone number was too long and then...

Pros: Uses rechargable batterys!
Cons: Still a little pricey

This is the best phone I have ever purchased and yes the most expensive .
I love this phone.
I work on the phone and had gone threw 8 cordless phones in over a year
so I have tried them all only to find that after a couple of months of use...

Pros: Great design, expansibility, good features
Cons: Slightly complicated...

I have used corded phones for all of my telephoning life, but after having knocked over my current plugged-in Sony almost daily for several years, I finally decided to purchase a cordless. I naturally gravitated toward Sony, having been greatly pleased...

Pros: Display,
Cons: None Known, Price?!?! (I feel it's worth it)

I have recently purchased the Siemens Gigaset 2410 base station & an additional handset (I believe Gigaset 2400). I'm almost speechless ( :-) ). The features & functions are fantastic! First it is upgradable, who would have thought that was...
