Buyer Beware- Probably Slow Keypad Response.......2007-08-27
This review was originally for the TS4200B which we actually purchased, but since we suspect the same problem exists throughout the 4100, 4200 and 4300 series, the 4200B review for the 2 units we actually purchased, appears as follows:
Panasonic has a design flaw in this unit, which is unfortunate, as it is the best looking 4-line corded phone on the market and is otherwise an excellent phone. The problem is that once the hook is released (or you switch from from one line to another) when you then immediately get a dial tone, it takes approximately an additional 1.5 seconds for an audible tone to be heard from any number keys you press. You an easily press anywhere from 4 to 6 keys during this lag period, during which time you hear nothing. Then it catches up and starts dialing, although still at a slower rate than which you originally pressed the keys. Our our four lines, on the first three we kept our original, trusty FIOS lines, and on the 4th line we put a VOIP line. Same problem all lines. We had another jack where we had plugged in a new Panasonic 2-line phone (KG-TX6700) and the phone worked normally to key presses. We plugged the 4200B into the same jack, but the same delay as before occurred. We bought a second 4200B - same problem. We believe the problem probably exists on the 4100 and 4300 phones as well.
We went out a then bought our less preferred AT&T 4-line phone (Model 974) and it worked like a charm. The Panasonic problem exists on at least two types of phone networks - Verizon's FIOS (fiber optic) phone lines, as well as on Verizon's VOIP service trademarked as Verizon Voicewing. I am not sure if the problem exists on the old copper line networks, but if you try this phone, be sure to test it.
The other thing to test is how you use this phone. If you typically pick up the phone and don't dial until the phone is at your ear (i.e. as opposed to dialing immediately with the speaker phone), then you might not see this as a problem, as it takes about 1.5 seconds to get the phone off the hook and up to your ear, and by that time, the dial tones will respond immediately. However, even then, if you switch back and forth quickly between lines to get a quick dial tone - then you will have the problem.
Otherwise, great phone, but re the above - buyer beware.

Amazon.com Product Description
Siemens raises the bar with the 8825 Gigaset, a 2.4 GHz two-line expandable cordless communication system. Expandable to eight handsets, the 8825 offers a wide range of features, including a digital answering machine with four mailboxes. The voice-announced Caller ID (with subscription to service through your local carrier) uses your voice to announce incoming calls. Caller ID information and a directory of your 120 speed-dial presets are displayed on an easy-to-read backlit LCD. Siemens includes an extra handset (model 8000 Gigaset) with charger.
The lightweight handset provides call transfer, conferencing, intercom, and room monitoring. It weighs just 7 ounces and has controls for volume, call waiting, flash, and last-number redial.

The base and cordless handsets provide digital speakerphones and headset jacks for hands-free conversation. Additional handsets require no extra phone jacks.
A built-in answering machine completes the system. It has four mailboxes, date and time stamp, individual announcements for each incoming line, and 45 minutes of recording time. The unit also supports full remote operation, so you can collect messages while you're away.

Expensive But Horrible Quality - Beware!.......2007-12-01
I thought since this was a German product it would be smart and high quality but if Siemen's made cars they would Chrysler K-cars or Yugos at best - NOT BMW's. Aside from the completely unintuitive interface my base station display began to systematically disappear, until now, where I find myself two years down the road shopping for a new phone system because the display only has about 5 working pixels which means I can't change the message since I can't navigate the stupid menus. Yesterday it quit ringing which is sort of the icing on a very stale cake.
If you buy this phone you will be sadly disappointed in time - there's no way this company is German...
Marvelous Product !.......2007-10-21
This thing has everything: Quality, features, design, performance. Why people have any complaints about this amazing product is beyond me.
As with all products, read the manual. Then, enjoy and explore all you can do with this system.
A Pretty good phone.......2007-08-13
I've had this phone system for about 4 years now, and I haven't had the majority of the problems others have. The screen on the base phone has a line across it, but i am still able to see who is calling. Also the rechargers cannot recharge the phone unless I put a penny between the back of the phone and the charger.
I have gotten the cordless phones wet, dropped it in water, dropped repeatedly on the ground and never had to replace them. And I bought them refurbished!
It lacks an external antenna and the rounded shape of the ear piece make it extremely comfortable, even after hours of talk time.
The batteries last a long time, and after 4 years I still have the original ones. Since the phone requires AA, they can be changed with any you have around the house in an emergency (but take them out before you put the phone back on the charger unless they are NIMH)
Class action lawsuit.......2007-04-18
Maybe what Siemens needs is a class action lawsuit. I also owned an 8825, same bad experience as shared by other owners.
Terrible phone system - STAY AWAY.......2006-11-15
I bought this phone system about two years ago at the insistence of my fiance at the time (now wife) so we could combine our phone systems after we moved in together. She loved the style and features of the phone (she works from home) and I had to agree - it was attractive with nice features.
Shortly after we moved in together and combined the system, the problems began. First, one of our two base unit's display failed, then the other base unit line 1 failed (line open - cannot hang up). We used the other one to replace the mother board and it worked fine for about six months, when that mother board (again, line 1) failed again. We purchased another base set on eBay to replace the one we had, and kept some of working parts from the other two base stations just in case. Sure enough, the display began to fail, so we replaced it with the one remaining, then sure enough, the motherboard failed. By this time, we noticed it seemed to fail around the time we had power outages (fairly common in the DC area). We purchased another base station and put it on a surge protector. Maybe four months later, it failed as well, again due to a power surge and despite the fact it was on a surge protector. This unit is unacceptably succeptable to power surges. My wife and I actually had discussed that that was the last base we would purchase, but she forgot and purchased another (yes, our fifth). Died this morning, after a power outage, again.
We've also had problems with the handset. We could never get one of them to synch to a couple of the bases, and the popping & cracking from our wireless LAN is both unbelievable and unacceptable.
Tomorrow my wife is going to go out and get the Panasonic 5.8 - we've read nothing but good stuff about it, have some other Panasonic equipment, and have been very happy (actually the phone I had before the Siemens was a Panasonic, and it worked flawlessly until I accidentally dropped it in the toilet).
Bottom line - this is trash, avoid it at all costs and if anyone has the gumption to file a class-action lawsuit against Siemens under our consumer lemon laws - sign me up.
