asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Anyone used the ACT P104SLD SIP Phone

Just after some peoples impressions if they have used this phone.

It has 10 function buttons which I am hoping can be individually
programmed for destination to accept hints from asterisk.

Any input would be very much appreciated.

What do you mean by this?
I'm not sure I understand.

If you thing it can be used an an extension it, you are wrong. 
Those 10 buttons for incoming calls or can be programed as one touch
dialing button.
For example if you are talking on line one, and have another call coming
over VOIP you line two will ring etc.

In general the company that make that phone doesn't even have a webpage
offering firmware upgrade.  So compare Sipura new phone feature with
this one.  At least Sipura is offering constant firmware upgrade; you
will most likely never see one for this one.

Sorry for not explaining myself properly. 

What I was wondering is if anyone who has used the ACT P104SLD as it has
10 function buttons, on the snom equivilent, if you program the function
button with Destination and the extension number then using hint with
asterisk it then uses the button LED on the sip phone to indicate if
that extensions is on the phone or not.
