Manual of product E490 Stone
Editorial note
The Gigaset E490 Stone presents itself as a functional and modern phone, offering an impressive range of 300 meters outdoors and 50 meters indoors, allowing for flexible use in various environments. Its 1.65-inch LCD screen with 65,536 colors ensures a clear visual experience, although its resolution of 128 x 128 pixels may be perceived as relatively low compared to current standards. Among its strengths, the Gigaset E490 Stone integrates an alarm clock with customizable alarm, a directory capacity of 150 entries, and storage for 612 SMS, thus facilitating the management of contacts and messages. Additionally, its Plug and Play functionality makes installation simple, and its design allows for easy mounting on a desk or wall. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The lack of a built-in answering machine may frustrate users wishing to effectively manage their missed calls. Furthermore, the non-compatibility with Mac systems limits its use for some. Although it is not specifically designed for elderly people, the interface could be improved to facilitate use for this age group. Finally, the indoor range of 50 meters may prove insufficient in larger homes. In terms of performance, the phone offers a standby time of 250 hours and 12 hours of talk time, which is a major asset. The value for money is reasonable, although the absence of certain features, such as Mac compatibility, may disappoint some users. Overall, the Gigaset E490 Stone is a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and functional device, despite a few limitations.Score details
