Its quick installation thanks to the Plug and Play feature is also a significant advantage, allowing for hassle-free setup. However, some drawbacks may limit its appeal. The directory capacity is limited to 50 entries, which may prove insufficient for users with a large number of contacts.

The absence of features like a built-in alarm and intercom may also disappoint some users looking for a multifunctional device. Aesthetically, the modern and sleek black design easily fits into various environments, although the TN screen technology is not the best in terms of display quality.
