asterisk users - May 2005 - Recommendations are highly appreciated -SIP HARDWARE phone

Greetings to all!
Please, I want to buy a SIP or iax2 supporting HARDWARE phone which can
directly be connected to my Asterisk PBX from Dubai. and your
recommendations are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Kumara

A price range would be helpful if you want useful suggestions. Or
perhaps major features you're looking for?

A Budgetone is very good if you only want to spend $60US. But at the
same time, the Cisco 7970 is an awesome phone at $570US.

Do you need a business quality speakerphone? Single or multiple lines?
CallerID number or name too? (i.e. Budgetone doesn't do name)

Unless you have very picky NAT issues, I would go with a SIP phone.
It's hard enough to find good IAX hardware phones at any price in any
country, let alone if you're limited by one or the other.

There's a reason people still buy the Cisco phones despite the high
prices, difficult programing, and license issues -- they're awesome
phones once you have everything working.
