Excellent speakerphone, puzzling design
By A Customer
Among the handset speakerphones available, this has the best sound quality and range I've come across. I get a loud clicking sound from my wifi system, but it doesn't seem to bother the person on the other end.
The 4200/4215 setup is very handy to use. A much cleaner look than my old setup with a GE wireless phone jack and Panasonic cordless phone. Now I'm down to just one AC plug and a very sleek looking base for the 4200, which matches my off white walls perfectly. The 4200 can be wall mounted in the vertical position, which looks sharp and is very handy for accessing the speakerphone and remote answering machine functions. Why Siemens did not allow the 4215 base unit to be wall mounted, I just can't figure out. At least I can wall mount the 4200 in the kitchen and listen to messages remotely.
The biggest drawback to this phone is the nonsensical cell-phone-like interface. It doesn't bother me much, but a potential buyer should check it out. For example, to raise the volume on the earpiece, you have to take the phone away from your ear, scroll through the menu, adjust the volume, then cancel out of the menu screens. I just keep it on "high" at all times, but all users might not like doing this. Another example is the 2 second delay between pressing a number button and hearing a tone. This is very confusing, as the sound delay causes me to misdial, and I don't know whether I have misdialed a number until I see the number on the LCD screen.
Overall though, it does a good job at what was most important to me: using the handset speakerphone and having a phone where I had no phone jack.

By Soggy
Great phone. The speaker phone works great! People do not know I have them on speaker phone, unless I am typing at my keyboard. Programable names/numbers works great. I find the answering machine quality to be just fine. Range is good. I have roamed a ways from the house. I like the time and date right there on the phone. I always carry it around the house. The batteries that come with are no good, but if you buy some NM-Hi rechargables, they seem to last for days. Love this phone, I just need one more for the bedroom. The voice announce of the incoming caller is excellent.
I would give 5 stars, but the response time when you push the keys is anoying sometimes.
