RE: Siemens have a combined PSTN/VoIP phone that uses DECT handsets...

[<rich_lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It took them long enough to get GAP working properly, and that doesnt
even
support handset numbering between brands of handsets.

I think wishing for standardised phone directory lookup is very wishfull,
however in an ethernet connected phone it would be interesting to have some
ldap or other lookup mechanisms.

I know the dualphone lets you see your skype contacts on the handset, but
thats USB connected and skype specific so not really of interest to me.

For home, Asterisk is a bit beyond my needs...

Did get an answer back from Siemens to say they're planning a VoIP phone
with answering machine built in but have no information on when it'll be
available.

I've never understood why dect phones don't have the ability to store the
phone book in the base station and share it between the handsets either.
