Sorry Newbie asking everyones option. I am setting up a couple of small asterisk phone systems for my work, I started using some snom 190 and bt102 sip phones (the bt102 works really well with iLBC), but the complaint from my workmates is there is no way to see if other people are on there phone or not, or what lines are being used. The snom 190 only has 5 function keys, the snom 220 seems a bit over the top for simple users. What suggestions do people have on some sip phones that support multiple (6 or more but 10 or more would be better) keys where I can program extension numbers and lines to and use hint from my asterisk box to give updates out (I assume that's what it is for). I was looking at the 3Com Business Phone 3102 as its not really that expensive and looks like it comes with 18 programmable buttons which is great, has anyone had any experience with these phones and doing this or have any better ideas or suggestions? As an extra note I am in Australia so not all brands are available down here. James Bean
The SNOM 190 Phones are working quite stable with the hint feature. We have two customers, with at least 12 SNOM 190/SNOM 200 Phones connected with SIP to Asterisk and our hotline is relativ quiet ;-) If the SNOM Phones are within your budget, I think they could be a good choice.

would an option where you could view it from a website or on your computer be good? coz there are a few ones out there like that, one in the wiki....

No unfortunately a lot of the extensions do not have PC's near them or in there offices, and the people involved are a little on the computer illiterate side, although I am slowly training them. They just want a phone that shows them extensions/lines and who is using them.... That's why I am hoping someone else has used the 3Com Business Phone 3102 as it comes standard with 18 function keys, just hoping they work the same way as the snom.
