[asterisk-users] Voted most stable and easy to use phone?
A while back i had asked about possible replacements for snom 360 phones that were breaking and causing issues and we all discussed the problems we had with the 360s and some suggestions were made but the new polycom phones had just hit the market and not many people were able to comment on them. Basically i am looking to get some new phones and in the process get rid of the countless number of problems i have had that has always been caused by phones (snom 360's and gxp-2000's). I would like to get the feedback of the list on the phone voted best for stability, working with *, and ease of use for dumb non tech users. I was thinking of trying one of these new polycom phones that are about $150, but havent gotten any feedback on them yet. Basically i am interested in any phones but snom's, grandstreams, and sipura's/linksys. mainly polycom's i guess. thanks mike This E-mail, including any attachments, may be intended solely for the personal and confidential use of the sender and recipient(s) named above.

I'm a huge fan of the Linksys SPA-942s for users. They run around $125, are pretty straightforward to manage via TFTP, and work really well with Asterisk. On Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 4:07 AM, Michael J.

We just installed a dozen of the Polycom IP-330 phones. Initially out of the box I wasn't real sure about the decision to use them. The phones are very small and don't seem to have very many features. However in use they have been great. They don't waste a lot of desk space, they don't overwhelm the users and they seem to provide adequate information. They're easy to use and Polycom reliable. The speaker phone is still really good though I'm not sure it is as good as the 501/601 phones. I haven't really done a side by side comparison of that but I think the 501/601 has a better speaker phone. I can't see buying another GXP after using these. The difference in price just isn't worth the aggravation. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
