Customer Reviews:
Attractive design and function, but wireless network interference--inconsistent and not especially durable.......2005-10-02
This phone eats batteries.......2003-08-15
Good feature set marred by unexpected inconveniences.......2002-07-12
For example, it is, in fact, imbued with a reliable caller ID service, speed dialing, and a helpful caller log. But the LED screen isn?t backlit. As a result all those neat features aren?t usable at night, when you perhaps need them most. Likewise, its small size at first seems a convenience?until you remember that comfort is more important in a home phone than portability. Bigger phones are better around the house, where you tend to want a phone you can actually rest on your shoulder.
But its bigger offenses, I think, have to do with the way it performs its most basic functions: power and reception.
It requires much more recharge time on the base than much older phones, and that charge evaporates quite quickly?even when the phone is not in active use. Worse, my particular unit?and maybe all of them--doesn?t reliably snap into the base. It?s possible to put the phone in the cradle and yet not have the contacts touch. As a result, the phone could spend hours in the cradle without recharging at all.
Its reception, too, is baffling. While does have a fair range, it seems to pick up background noise more clearly than the sound of my voice--clearly the opposite of how you want a phone to work.
I don?t mean to sound too negative, here. Most of the time it works like it?s supposed to. But I can?t help feeling if it had been tweaked with a little more market research, Seimens might have come up with a more practical product.

Siemens 242 2.4 GHz White Cordless Phone with Caller ID
Manufacturer: Siemens ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Accessories:
Product Features:
ASIN: B00004R7OG |
Product Description
The Siemens 242 operates at the 2.4GHz frequency. The result is clear cordless transmission without static or interference from baby monitors and other cordless phones operating at crowded lower frequencies. ADPCM technology offers superior voice quality, and digital spread spectrum technology makes eavesdropping virtually impossible. Never before a cordless phone has done so many things so well.Amazon.com Review
The Siemens 242 is a single-line, caller ID-equipped phone that operates on the 2.4 GHz band. Its 2.4 GHz technology ensures a clearer cordless transmission without static or interference from other cordless phones operating at crowded lower frequencies. Plus, digital spread spectrum technology provides optimum security from eavesdropping by "hopping" frequencies more than 100 times every second.To set up the phone, we inserted the battery pack, plugged in the AC adapter, and charged the battery. After the initial 12-hour charge, the 240 normally recharges in four hours. The Siemens 242 has an unusual configuration in that the AC adapter plugs into an electrical outlet; from the AC adapter two cords emerge: a standard RJ-11 connector that plugs into the telephone wall jack and an RJ-45 connector that plugs into the 242 base station. The 240's controls were generally intuitive, but we did have to consult the manual to set the caller ID language (English, French, or Spanish), to manage the caller ID log, to change the ringer settings, and to program memory dialing. The phone is wall mountable, but the base's design causes it to protrude excessively from the wall.
In our tests of the 242, we placed the base on the floor, and the handset performed flawlessly to a distance of only about 40 feet. Distortion gradually increased as we moved away from the base, and the handset stopped functioning at 195 feet. This is not good performance for a phone in this class. We moved the base station in front of a window and repeated the tests. This time, the handset performed well to a distance of 130 feet and stopped functioning at 270 feet. This performance is much better but still not as good as less expensive 900 MHz DSS phones. Within close proximity to the base, sound quality was very good; the handset sounded only slightly softer than our reference corded desk phone.
The Siemens 242 displays caller ID/call waiting information on a three-line LCD. This LCD displays up to 30 calls and provides both redial and the time of the call. The Siemens 242 also features 10 programmable speed-dial numbers, a choice of four ring tones, base-to-handset paging, ringer and receiver volume controls, two-way charging positions, out-of- range alert, and more. An internal antenna protects the phone against accidental damage. The Siemens 242 comes with a lightweight cordless handset, a base with a built-in charger, a battery pack, a user's manual, and a belt clip. Siemens offers a one-year warranty on this phone. --Mike Brown

Samsung Digimax 35 0.3MP Digital Camera/MP3
Manufacturer: Samsung ProductGroup: Photography Binding: Electronics Accessories:
ASIN: B00004YV8E |
Product Description
The Digimax 35MP3 is an all in one solution for digital music, images and Internet video conferencing. The device incorporates Digital still camera, Web camera, MP3 player and a headphone. Take pictures, listen to music, and chat with friends and family over the Internet. The MP3 player features Music Playing Mode, Volume Control Mode, Music Select Mode, Music Delete Mode. You can create Panorama, Animation, and 3D images using the Samsung e-MaxManager 1.0 included in this package. Stitch series of images you have taken with the camera to create a 360-degree panorama. Edit your images to create animations and simulated 3D objects. The Digimax 35MP3 delivers the ultimate multimedia experience.Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung has combined three of today's most popular electronic gadgets--digital cameras, MP3 players, and Webcams--into one compact device: the Digimax 35 MP3 digital camera. A true point-and-shoot camera, the Digimax uses a fixed-focus lens to provide simple operation, letting you worry about finding the perfect shot instead of finding the right camera settings. The 640 x 480 resolution of the Digimax makes great pictures to post on a Web site or send via e-mail.The Digimax 35 MP3 really shines when used in conjunction with its included accessories. The software that comes with the camera helps you to create panoramic shots, as well as animations and simulated 3-D images, and a small tripod makes it easy to use the camera as a Webcam.
As mentioned above, two features set the Digimax 35 MP3 apart from other point-and-shoot digital cameras: an integrated MP3 player, and the ability to act as a Webcam. In MP3 mode, the camera plays files stored on CompactFlash cards. The camera's included 8 MB card will hold only about eight minutes of music--a couple of songs--so if you plan to use this feature, you'll want to invest in a larger-capacity memory card. As a Webcam, the camera can shoot footage at 5 frames per second (fps) at a resolution of 320 x 240, or 15 fps at a resolution of 160 x 120. A USB connection ensures speedy music and image transfers.

awesome camera.......2004-10-11
WORST CAMERA I'VE EVER SEEN.......2002-11-02
all in one product!!!.......2002-01-02
Injures 3 birds with 1 stone.......2001-10-19
1. Driver intstallation was a failure on the pc I intended to use this device on. It worked on a second PC no problem, but even downloading the latest drivers from samsung was no help on pc #1.
2. 8MB compact flash is way too little. You'll want to shell out $40-$100 for a much more storage. Unless you want to listen to the same song over and over again, or only have the ability to take a few pictures.
3. Earphone plug is tiny (I think 1/16" plug) so forget about using your own earphones or car adapter. The included earphones are low quality.
4. MP3 controls are terrible on the device. You have to press mode several times to do anything.
5. Flash offers 2 modes "auto" and off. Using auto, the camera decides if it's going to use the flash. If it's not using it, the picture is taken on the first press of the button. If it is, you have to press the button once to charge the flash, and a second time to take the picture. This means when you press the button, you have to be ready for the picture to be taken right then, but the possibility remains that it may have to charge for awhile. Very annoying!!
6. The video capture feature crashed my computer. Generally USB capture devices are low quality anyway, so don't expect anything special from this assuming you can get it to work.
So to sum up, this device attempts to perform 3 cool functions, but comes up short in all categories. Trust me.. I love gadgets, but not this one. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! You have been warned.
