The fantastic new 2420 Gigaset 2.4Ghz cordless phone

[support_dept]

It looks like Siemens listened to all of the whining about the
Gigaset 2420 problems and fixed just about all of them in the
new revision of the 2420. (I will "*" the things I personally
whined about)

In a nutshell here are the "enhancements" in the new 2420
as provided to me in a FAX from Siemens tech support with
my comments added.

Simplified Menu

Improved Call Handling

Improved Call Transfer

* Time and Date sets from Caller ID

Answering Machine Configured per Line

Cordless handset pick-up after answering machine starts

* Barge in from any handset to existing call (configurable on or off)

Message waiting indicator on cordless handsets (VMWI)
(for both telco voice mail or Gigaset answering machine messages)

Quick Access to Desk Station Directory
(jump to entry using first letter of entry)

Intercom Directory (pick list by Phone Name)

Line Access Control by Line for each phone

Directory Transfer between Desk Station and handsets

Two line Caller ID Display

We have been using the new 2420 units here and it is really great.
They really did fix every problem that I was aware of and more.

We have the new versions in stock at SELLCOM and are only
selling the new version. There is no name change with the
newer 2420 phones or handsets.

Siemens brand is the ONLY brand of 2.4Ghz phones that we sell
at SELLCOM.

In a local area (in range of the base unit) there are many
features and benefits in common with a cellular phone.

This is a great phone. Unfortunately I have the previous generation.
Any idea if there is an upgrade path?

and dam--it, why can't they set up the handsets for direct unit-unit
without the base?
