Hi Deon,
Good to know that another gigaset is accessible.
How does the caller id work on the sl565?
Does it only announce callers that it knows i.e. from the phonebook or does
it announce all incomming calls?
Also, the C450 and C475 seem to have the same menu tree.
I opted for the s675 as I thought the ability to record a call in progress
would be useful.
Good to see some accessible products when the norm seems to be less
accessibility.
