Gigaset’s new ‘smart’ home phone SL930A

Modern technology! Sometimes I feel so old. The kids can’t seem to comprehend the fact that I was 24yrs when I had my first mobile phone! It was rather large with push buttons and only one ringtone. Home phones have also progressed dramatically, have you seen the new home ‘smart’  home phone from Gigaset? Wow, this is pretty great, combining the features of a home phone with a mobile android phone – It is the very first home phone with android technology!

The new Gigaset SL93OA lets you connect with your mobile phone with direct internet access. Connecting to your WiFi, you can access emails, skype and brouse the web. Apps can be downloaded from Google Play and with head-phones, you can listen to your music with exceptional sound quality. The boundaries are limitless with this phone.

I love this phone. When it was connected, my contacts were automatically transferred over from my mobile and were waiting for me at the touch of a button – or should I say ‘touchscreen’!

‘The touch sensative display on the Gigaset SL930A is sublime. It has a 3.2 inch, full colour display that uses a detailed graphical user interface for quick and simple navigation. Despite the large colourful display you still get a talktime of 20 hours and 140 hours of standby time from one full charge of the battery’ (Gigaset)

The phone is extremely easy to operate, even for myself – and I am not very good with technology. I was more or less able to use this phone immediately after it was connected. I have even tailored the settings to suit myself – that’s the fab thing about this phone. There are so many ways you can make it your own. The integrated answering machine can record up to 55 minutes of messages which is a big thing for me as we get a lot of messages when we are at work during the day. My previous phone had limited space for messages and some were missed.

The micro-USB port allows for easy transfer of photos, videos and music. These can be safely stored on the 4GB memory and this can be increased up to 32 GB if needed.

I cannot say enough about this phone. Its appearance and functions are superior to any other phone on the market. Comparing prices is something I am very good at and I am 100% sure this phone gives unbeatable value for money for £179.99. Available from Amazon.
