What is the best inexpensive voip phone out there? I want to try
a few with *, but don't want to go broke while I'm just playing
around...

AFAIK Grandstreams are still the cheapest..

If you've got a Linux workstation, www.vovida.org offers
sipset, a free softphone.

I prefer SIP Phones, Grandstream BT-100 IP-Phone or the HT-286 Analogue 
telephone adapter

Why?

- brilliant user interface, with or with out a web browser
- cristal clear voice even with low band codecs
- PPP over ethernet (PPPoE) aware
- continual firmware improvement
- plenty of tweak options
- economically priced
- protocol conform
- made in china
- fast shipping

Retail from $39 to $245 .. google is your friend.

I found a site somewhere that referenced the livedoor sipphone to:

LivedoorSIP phone terminal development original page
Http: //www.grandstream.com/y-product.htm
The manual it is

Which means Livedoor sip phone is infact the grandstream phone.

Not even a clone, it's the same thing. :)

How did you come across that?

Hey Chinaman...

I was wondering if the following SIP phone is just a Grandstream's OEM
or just a japanese copy...

http://sipphone.livedoor.com/

What do you think?
