Advantages: Ease of use.

Disadvantages: Slightly dim display.

Siemens were one of the early adopters of the much hyped DECTGAP wireless domestic home telephony protocol, and their undisputed experience in this domain shines through in this offering.

Extending upon the original DECT protocol, the addition of GAP enhancements has, for many, made true domestic wireless phone calls a reality.

Physically the handset and base-station will not set hearts racing, nor are they likely to be troubling the likes of BT or Thorst when design awards are being handed out! But it is in the functionality of their products that Siemens have always been foot and ankle ahead of the rest.

The C385 is conventional i its design, featuring the usual decade of numeric buttons (arranged in the conventional manner), as well as a number of ancillary controls placed to enhance, rather than hinder, the dialling process. Meanwhile the somewhat retro display provides ample in-call feedback, yet without distracting the user.

Summary: Suitable for all ages.
