Cons:Phone doesn't work as advertised. Warranty works well for Siemens--poorly for the consumer. The Bottom Line:This is a matter of appropriate corporate shame. They don't feel it--and they should. It is also a matter of proper consumer treatment. In dealing with Siemens, caveat emptor. Review:I gave the 8825 a six-month trial in my home office and it failed the test.
