Anyone knows a DECT phone with this feature/settings?

Hi all
I am looking for a duo cordless digital phone with answering machine that has the following features

> A setting that beeps and prompts automatic call termination after 58 mins.
> 2.5mm jack to connect a headset with microphone
> Automatic sync'ing of phone book entries between handsets

I couldn't find one yet ?
There is a big gap in the market ;-)
I wish Siemens Gigaset/Panasonic/Philips product engineers read my thread ::D LOL

Keep a stopwatch next to the phone. You can get some with a pre-set countdown timer that will beep when the countdown has been reached. I doubt this feature will ever be put in a DECT cordless phone unfortunately.

My Panasonic has just that, but it is something I have never used.

I only have the single handset version currently, but I understand it does sync all contacts between handsets.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-KX-TG8523EB-Digital-Cordless-Machine/dp/B003LPTARA/ get em while they're cheap. I know you said duo, but at £62.50 this trio is only £12.50 more than the duo on the same site. Keep the other as a spare in case one breaks.

I don't think any of Panasonic DECT phones with multiple handsets (2 or more) auto-syncs phonebook contacts when added. This always has to be done manually 1 by 1 or as a bulk.
My current phone (philips DECT) does auto sync contacts when added, but Philips do not manufacture DECT phone with headset facility for 2.5mm jacks.

Had a look at the manual, you're correct it is not automatic - but it does seem quite painless with only a few buttons to press. Near enough automatic.
