Designer phones in an elegant metal design: Siemens presents the premium models Gigaset SL785
Gigaset Communications presents its new top-of-the-line phone Gigaset
SL785 with an award-winning design, new materials and refined
technology. For the first time, the handset’s frame and the charging
cradle are made of solid metal. This unique design has already won the
“Red.Dot Honorable Mention” award. The model also captured an “IF
communication design award 2008” for it’s ease of use: A new menu
concept, the ergonomic keypad with metal dome technology and the large
color display enhance the user-friendliness of the Gigaset SL785. A
particularly ecology-minded feature is ECO Plus mode, which is being
deployed for the first time: The base station only transmits signals
when calls are actually being made.
Gigaset Communications, the market leader in Europe for DECT phones, is now offering the Gigaset SL785, a top-class phone that meet the highest standards regarding design, technology and environmental friendliness. An unusual design concept using solid metal underscores the high quality of the handset and charging cradle. Special emphasis was placed on ease of use: Users can move through the newly designed menu system with its intuitive icons using a central 5-way navigation key (four direction keys plus a middle key) on the handset. Metal dome key technology with its clear pressure point gives a completely new feel. Ideal legibility is ensured by the large TFT QVGA color display with 256,000 colors (240 x 320 pixels). In addition, the phone offers excellent sound quality even when used in full-duplex handsfree mode. If desired, users can also mute the phone and define VIP users. When the latter call, an acoustic signal is emitted despite the fact that the phone is muted.
All contacts under control
To enable efficient contact management, the Gigaset SL785 has a large address book, offering space for up to 500 entries in the vCard format. Thanks to the Gigaset QuickSync software, data can easily be synchronized with a PC (Microsoft Outlook) via the supplied mini-USB cable or via Bluetooth. For the Apple community a Mac-compatible version of Quick Sync is also available. The new phone’s handset also has a calendar so that users can keep track of all their important appointments. The integrated answering machine in the Gigaset SL785 can record up to 45 minutes of messages.
Environmentally-friendly and miserly with energy
The Siemens Gigaset SL785 is equipped with cutting-edge ECO technology and has an energy-saving power supply that consumes up to 60 percent less electricity than conventional phones. In addition, energy can be saved in the ECO mode, which cuts transmitting power by 80 percent during calls. And with the aid of the new ECO Plus mode, transmitting power is shut off completely in standby and recharging mode and only reactivated when a call is received or made.
Future-proof and expandable
To make sure they are always up-to-date, the Gigaset SL785 offers a simple means of updating its software or adding functions via the Internet. In conjunction with a Gigaset IP base station, broadband voice transport via HDSP (High Definition Sound Performance) is supported. The base stations of the new Gigaset can operate with up to six handsets. If desired, cordless Bluetooth headsets can be registered or headphones with a Slim Lumber jack can be used.
Availability and price
The Siemens Gigaset SL785 is priced at AU$349.00 and includes an integrated answering machine. It is available now.
