That is true about the A580.
I don't like the interface much to check messages.
Besides that every time I go to dial a number...it always uses the first
digit pressed to go into phone mode..so I have to press the first digit
twice...
I would test other phones but it's for home and I can't fork over $$ to
try them all out....
I have tested some Nokia cell phones, the N97, N900, and E71 and the E71
and N900 worked well. I didn't like the N97.

One thing I dislike about the A580H is that the handset always says 'You have
new messages' if I've missed a call. It wouldn't bug me if it said 'missed
call' but it tells me I have new messages and even lights up a red LED under a
button with a picture of an envelope on it.
I'm about to test an A510IP and an A610IP to compare against the A580. Fingers
crossed neither of them has that issue, because the Gigaset phone is a pretty
good phone other than that, and the difficulty doing a (blind) transfer, as
referred to by the OP.

I've been using the Gigaset A580 Base and A58H Phone for about 3 years now.
Never gave me problems. The call Quality is excellent!
I only have 1 handset connected to the Base but I want more. I bought a Linksys
WIP330 as a 2nd phone to try out and that works just as good without a base
unit.
The A580 Base supports up to 6 handsets.
I have 6 Incoming VOIP Numbers using separate SIP accounts pointed to 1 Handset
but you can point each SIP to separate handsets.
The call goes to the first phone that picks up. When on a call, picking up
another phone makes a separate call and does not conference. I don't use
conference yet but I know you have to put the call on hold or something.
The thing I don't like about the A580 and might be the same on all of them is
that you can only specify 1 Sip Account for making outgoing calls. In other
words, all 6 phones would use the same caller id out, but I wanted to be able
to choose that because I have a business number and number for each person in
our household. In order to use a different Caller ID (SIP Account) for making
outgoing calls I added a extension to my Dial Plan and before making outgoing
calls I press *1-6 before the number.
I'm going to try adding more handsets that are compatible. I want the SL78H
but they are so expensive for just home everyday use.
Make sure you check the compatibility page here before buying handsets.

Some stupid questions:
I understand the A510 allows 2 sip calls. Let's say you've registered
the base with asterisk. A uses handset 1 to call out over sip. B picks
up handset 2. Does B hear a dial tone? Can B dial out over the asterisk
server?
Or do you need two registrations with asterisk? In which case, is
handset 2 always tied to the second registration?
