Product S685 IP

I'm looking at the 'Next Generation' Product line from Siemens Gigaset as this boast of internet calling, although it doesn't give any popular services such as Skype, Microsoft Live Messenger or Apples facetime which seems odd for an internet phone. However this is because it uses an older form of communication, Email. This is a nice feature to have although made awkward with Siemens bad choice of 'a classic design hand set' meaning no QWERTY keyboard and leaving replying up to the mobile or computer again. Meaning conventional phones could maybe do with a user interface upgrade to break away from that convention of the standard 1-9 buttons.

From further research at http://gigaset.com/hq/en/cms/PressRelease_IP_Services_20100426.html i found that the Gigaset actually utilises other internet applications such weather forecast and Ebay account viewer.
