I have a bugetone 100 at home. It appears to work with Asterisk and basic
quality seems to be OK (G.711) including speaker phone. But I use none of
its built-in features such as transfer or even hold so the elaborative
right-hand side buttons are pretty much useless.
One annoying problem about buttons: it doesn't have a Redial key, but has a
"Send" key to please some annoying VoIP system. And if you need to
redial,
press that Send key. The designer must be out of his or her mind.
A lesser button issue: the mute key is marked as "Mute/Del". As such,
could
easily be overlooked by a casual user looking for Mute key. I would much
appreciate a stand-alone Mute key, and won't mind having a combined
"Flash/Del" key. You guessed it: Flash stands alone. (I do appreciate
the
corner location of the Mute/Del key. But Del is really not that useful to
qualify for this premier location.)
