[asterisk-users] wifi sip phone real-world experiences?
I've tested a few different wifi SIP phones for office/factory use, and generally have been underwhelmed. Before I grab another few and test, I'd like to ask around here about the candidates. My requirements are relatively simple: - WEP/PSK should be supported WITHOUT dragging the phone down - roaming between access points without dropping the call - decent set of ringers, not the garbage that cell phones use now - vibrate, ring, ring&vibe (increasing volume a bonus) - transfer, hold, display caller ID - mass deployment (similar to polycom?) TFTP/FTP/HTTP config - decent, but not enormous battery life - replaceable batteries What's not important: - NAT passthrough - colour screen - MIDI ring tones Bonus features: - programmable soft buttons - bluetooth Currently I'm looking at the WIP300/330 and if I can find a source, the C&W/Hitachi wifi phone. I've tried some of the UTStarCom phones, Pulver's WiSIP and another I can't think off offhand. Is there anything out there that anyone else has been reasonably happy with? -A.
Did you look at this one? No frills, specs look good, price seems excellent! http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=369519 We're thinking of buying a couple for communication between our IT team members across 5 floors in 2 buildings. If you've tried it I'd be interested to hear you review. Cheers Alez

Is it a central list, or does each phone have their own? -A.
