Could someone please recommend a reasonably priced IP phone
that works well with *, has a decent (full duplex, echo canceling)
speakerphone, has at least two line appearances, and can
transfer / conference reliably?

The Wiki lists 35 brands of hardphone, but: 
1. Most seem to be toys.
2. For many, there is no info on e.g. speakerphone characteristics.
3. When one seems technically promising, e.g. Polycom IP500, there
   are *lots* of negative postings about support, integration, etc.

Is there anything decent out there for < $200?

Thanks,

Stewart

First, you know darn well you are not supposed to post ads here, even in 
response to others questions.

Second, when the original poster specifically asked for two line 
appearances and a full duplex speakerphone, what makes you think that 
spamming the list with an ad for a unit that does neither of those 
things will help your reputation with the Asterisk community?

I use Polycom IP 500's with Asterisk. These phones have 3 line appearances
and excellent full duplex speakerphones. They work very well with Asterisk,
and I was able to use the Web interface to set them up quite easily. The
default Web password given at voip-info.org is wrong, I added a comment on
the Polycom Phones page giving the correct one ("456"). With Asterisk,
you
can do both consultative and blind transfers with this phone, and the
Conference button works as you would expect. It's a very high quality
product, and it has more line appearances than the cisco 7940G. I don't know
whether you can get them for less than $200, I paid about $240 each.

Could someone please recommend a reasonably priced IP phone
that works well with *, has a decent (full duplex, echo canceling)
speakerphone, has at least two line appearances, and can
transfer / conference reliably?

The Wiki lists 35 brands of hardphone, but:
1. Most seem to be toys.
2. For many, there is no info on e.g. speakerphone characteristics.
3. When one seems technically promising, e.g. Polycom IP500, there
   are *lots* of negative postings about support, integration, etc.

Is there anything decent out there for < $200?

Thanks,

Stewart
