Thanks everyone for the replies. I don't care much about repeater / handoff features of the DECT technology (I am not even sure any of these models support it, I haven't quite seen it in North American models). It's a rather small office, where everyone would be in a 20-30m range of the base station(s) Do all of them have buttons (or soft buttons) for conference and transfer ?
