Best Cordless Handsets for New House

I bought the SIEMENS Gigaset A345 and answering machine at Argos. I had previously had Siemens dect for the last 4 years but niece dropped into the toilet. New phone is quite light but has 10 ring tones, answering machine with 15 minutes of messages, handset flashes when you have a missed call and you can press to find out the number instead of having to ring 1471 with eircom. Sound fine and ring tone passable. Price €79 - tried going back to regular phone and it was not nice.
 
A few years ago I was bitten (as I always am) by the "early adaptor" bug and bought an expensive and useless O2 DECT phone which I eventually took a hammer to. Today, for 49.99, I bought the twin Philips DECT 122 from LIDL. Inexpensive, simple to set up, simple to use, caller id, phone books (1 per handset unfortunately), internal pager / conference calling, good range, DSL compatibility, supports up to 4 handsets, call barring, etc. An instant hit with me anyway.
