red dot award: product design 2009

The Gigaset E490 combines robustness with an elegant design. Its appearance is dominated by a soft grey front surface with a black frame. The six-line colour display and large keypad with striking characters and precise pressure points ensure a high degree of user-friendliness. A rubber ring running around the ergonomically shaped telephone buffers shocks and lets it sit securely in the hand. The Gigaset E490 is protected against dust and splashes of water in accordance with the IP54 international standard. The phone’s full-duplex, high-quality, hands-free function, along with the option of connecting a standard headset, offers users a great deal of mobility. Thanks to cutting-edge ECO DECT technology, the Gigaset E490 is a particularly energy-saving and low-emission device.
