asterisk users - Feb 2010 - [OT] Asterisk 1.6 and DECT Phones

Hi,

looking for your valued input on suitable suggestions for high quality VoIP DECT
phones.  I am having real issues with my Snom M3s and Asterisk 1.6 and looking
to a new manufacturer.

We've been using the Siemens Gigaset range for a few years now (specifically
C475IP and S685IP). Not had any major problems with them.

Regards,

Chris

RTX3080 is a very good sip->dect product. The phones are really
robust. And they have inferior battery time.
The base station has also support for individual sip accounts per
phone. I don't know where to get it globally. We import 8 at a time
from a Danish distributor.

H?kon

We use the snom M3s without any great difficulty, but the 1st thing to
do when they come out of the box is to upgrade the firmware. Some of
the earlier firmware revisions make these devices more useful as a
doorstop!

Additionally we use the Siemens Gigaset range. The only problems with
them are 1) No auto configuration worth considering,  and 2) Keeping
up with the ever changing range. Again, be 100% sure to upgrade the
firmware on these handsets when they come out of the box.

Regards,
Steve

Siemens Gigaset over M3's anyday. Nicer displays, bigger handsets and 
buttons.

The downside is that they are slow - both on the handsets and their web 
interface - make sure you're using a browser with fast javascript - e.g. 
Chrome.

Define high quality.
Anyone here used any of these below with Asterisk?

* NEC AP300 and NEC DECT C124 or NEC DECT M155
* Aastra RFP L32 with Aastra 142 DECT or Aastra 610d/620d DECT

I am really curious about those, especially the M155.

Another vote for the Siemens Gigaset range. Been using the S685IP almost 
since the day it was released here in the UK. Nice handsets, great voice 
quality, but as others have said the UI can be a bit slow.

Do watch out for the last firmware release though. Siemens had some 
trouble with that although I personally haven't experienced the issues 
reported:

It looks like a new firmware release is imminent:

High quality to me means well built, reliable, good protocol support and above
all a responsive manufacturer.

Hmmm, they do look very interesting indeed!
