I ordered one of these from Grandstream to evaluate, along with a Handy-Tone 488. They both arrived today (I'm in Australia). After having played with the GXP-2000 for about 2 hours, my advice is to wait. Whilst it looks and feels a lot nicer than a Budgetone (approaching the build quality of a Sipura/Snom), it is extremely buggy. Codecs other than Ulaw/Alaw hang the phone (so far I've only tested G726-32 and iLbc), DHCP wouldn't work at all, etc. etc. If anyone has any specific questions, I'd be happy to perform some tests and give feedback. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cory Andrews" <Cory@VOIPSupply.com> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com>; <asterisk-biz@lists.digium.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 3:17 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Grandstream GXP-2000> FYI, spoke with Grandstream this morning, the GXP-2000 release has been > delayed again.

Does anyone have any experience with this phone? I'm considering purchasing it but wish to hear if anyone has any experience with it. Thanks, Daniel
We're having a rather serious echo problem using the Grandstream GXP-2000's with Asterisk 1.0.9. I'm wondering if there is something I'm overlooking that might be an easy fix. The echo seems to be worst on internal SIP to SIP calls but you do get it every once in a while on outgoing calls through the PRI. It's not the speakerphone echo problem, we're running the 1.0.1.12<http://1.0.1.12>firmware that pretty much fixes that. It seems like most of the echo cancellation functions are for outgoing calls through the phone company. Is this a more likely a phone problem? We've got about 50 of these phones all doing the same thing. -- | Erick Baum -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My recommendation would be to get some new Class 1 fax modems like MultiTechs or MainPines and use HylaFAX. Lee.

Figure out how many lines you need to deliver all faxes on time and use hylafax with modems. THat may not sound very hightech but hylafax works.
Hi, I'm going to propose to my boss the buying 15 Grandstream GXP-2000 phones. - Is it a good choice (budget limit of 100 Euro/phone is mandatory)? - Can be a profitable business the direct buying of 50 phones (to save other money) or is it a risk? Thanks in advance -- Mimmus
Well the gxp-2000 has BLF, the polycom 501 does not correct? I had an astra 480i and it was prety bad, but I was going to test the 9133i for an inexpensive phone to compete with the gxp2000. The gxp2000 is not bad though, the new firmware helps a lot, but once they work out the echo bugs fully and the various minor stuff it will be a good sub $100 phone. I am yet to find a phone under $300 that's perfect... The snom 360 is nice, but I have lots of problems with those too. I havent tried any polycom's though and starting to think they might be some of th ebest...

Long term I believe any of the Aastra phonesare a MUCH better. why bother with an aastra 9133i when you can have a polycom 501. better phone, same price. -Dan _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users This E-mail, including any attachments, may be intended solely for the personal and confidential use of the sender and recipient(s) named above.

So lets pool our knowledge so next time we all get a perfect phone :) Phones I have used: GXP2000: We all know about this one, lots of features but you get what you pay for.... Echo, hums, old hardware revisions have lots of problems (screen, etc). The upside includes lots of features, BLF, 4 account support, 100Mb switch, firmware is worked on often. Linksys 941: Overall a great phone, stable solid firmware, heavy built, awesome light up dual color buttons, good sound quality. Cons: 1 switch port (new model has 2), you have to pay extra for 4 account support, no firmware upgrades although it could be because it works very well as is, no blf/speed dial buttons at all which makes it better for a call center. Snom 360: My favorite phone very well built, new firmwares all the time, xml support, overall a stable phone but still has its problems. Upside is nice screen, awesome blue light up, 12 BLF buttons, all the buttons on the phone can be reprogrammed, 2 port switch, heavy built handset, excellent sound quality, expandable. Cons: firmware isnt perfect by a long shot, can completely freeze, doesn't like asterisk's sip rules, some phones have a hum problem, price. UT Starcom F1000 Wifi: Nice little phone, customers love the way it looks, sound quality sucks, firmware sucks, range sucks, battery life is great, it needs work but with better firmware it could be a descent sub $150 wifi phone. Astra 480i CT: I bought this phone cause I liked the idea of an in expensive cordless that came with it, when I got it the 480i screen was shot, it was all dark and could only be used for minutes, so I didn't get much use out if it, the cordless didn't have its own sip registrations, the lines were linked to the base, and since I wanted the cordless to be called directly I decided to get rid of it. So that's my input, any other input would be helpful for all.

Worth saying that the Aastra 9133i with the 1.3.1 firmware is a pretty good phone. I used to run GXP-2000's, still have 10 new in a box and another 20 in demo/test circulation, but I also run a few dozen 9133i, 480i and 9112i phones and I think Aastra are getting their now. Biggest problem I had with GXP are the usual power flakyness, which you can't really do much about but apart from that no real problems. Now the GXP firmware is getting there might offer them as a cheaper phone to the 9133i.

It is not a great phone but for your $80 you get a lot more than one would expect. 7 programmable buttons with BLF, Backlight, dual 100bt. Stuff you dont find on some phones over twice the price... All phones have their warts, even cisco. For $80 I can live with the GXP2000's warts, grandstream do seem to be actively improving the firmware and fixing what they can. Asterisk features (mwi, blf) "just work" out of the box without the gyrations one has to go through for other vendors phones. I have some $200+ phones which have some serious warts and the vendors do not seem terribly interested in fixing them. Big money does not always mean good value. -Dan _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ########################################### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.

Yes this is quite an issue. The POE converter is 'optional'. I bought a 480i a while back and after waiting a few days had to order the POE cos the dealer hadn't told me it was actually required!
