Hi All, I can get Grandstream 100 SIP phones for EUR 75. I'm not sure about the pricing for these in Europe, so I'd like to hear from people here whether that is a reasonable price for them?

But if you ask me, depending on how many you need, you should take a look into the GXP-2000. (+- 125 EUR incl VAT) The difference in quality (and features) between these is big enough to justify the difference in price. Cheers..
I had gxp-2000 for testing some days, but features are (in current firmware) _very_ limited! phone does not have missed, dialed numbers, phone book, speakerphone is useless... phone have nice backlight display and in-line power :-) but if you like features, grandstream is not for you... PJ

Missed and dialed numgers are available, although not in a very good interface (press the left and right arrows while off-hook). They do have separate memories per configured account. Grandstream clains thay will address the speakerphone problems in an upcoming release. I think they need a more advanced echo canceler since the speaker and microphone are acoustically strongly coupled. Also expected in the near term is suppor for Subscribe/Notify.> phone have nice backlight display and in-line power :-) > but if you like features, grandstream is not for you...On the other hand Grandstream seem to care about what their users want, at least for minor features. Everything we asked for was included in the current release. They seem serious in their attempt to break into the higher end market. Peter
